Amazing opportunity to own a 3,000 square foot waterfront home (with dock) just outside downtown Southport. Perfectly positioned on the Cape Fear River with views from nearly every window and turn. Built in 2017 with a sprawling screened-in porch and upper deck on the back of this beautiful three bedroom/2.5 bath home. Designed for luxury, open living with views from every angle. Porches on both levels, spacious courtyard and gardens. Designed by renowned architect Rich Bandera, this property was designed for peaceful living and entertaining. First-floor primary suite with sitting area and large spa-designed bathroom. Office/reading room in front of home on first floor and second den on upper level with walk-out to second floor deck. Views of sail boats, motor boats, towering container ships, ferries and other maritime vessels grace the waters. Dolphin perform in the waters and Eagles and all types of birds fly overhead. Massive Live Oak Trees frame this unique, one-of-a-kind property. Waking-up to a window facing the water, pouring coffee overlooking the river and sitting on the screened porch to watch the wildlife and mariners traveling up and down the river...is the life this property offers. Luxuries like privacy, modern conveniences and turnkey investments like solar panels and a newer fortified roof, make ownership even more attractive. Private dock spanning out into the water for relaxing with a fishing pole, cool beverage or good book are an added bonus. Have your ''privacy and best social life, too!'' Very close to downtown Southport where fine and casual dining along with great boutiques, parks, music venues, wine and brew houses, historic museums and quaint biking areas await you. Then retreat to your waterfront oasis surrounded by beautiful views and nature. If you like gardening or just watching the birds, you'll also like the cute chicken coop/shed perched in the side yard near the fresh-water pond. This property is surrounded by acres of woodlands with adds to the peaceful tranquility. When the home was built, careful planning went in to the design and construction. From the custom pine floors sourced from a 120 year old Carolina cotton mill to locally salvaged brick used in the fireplace and combination mud/laundry room, the home has so many treasured details. Combined with an amazing gourmet kitchen boasting an expansive island with high-end appliances, this home has everything to lead the market in luxury waterfront living. Sunrise. Sunset. Be ready for the jaw-dropping views and tremendous value and lifestyle this property has to offer. Just note that there is just one house like this house. If you want spectacular, this is it!
