Living on the Waterfront in Downtown Southport, NC

402 E. Bay Street, Southport

I love this house!  It is on my 2- mile route around downtown Southport.  Near the top of a slight incline, at the end of my walk, just when I am starting to get tired. I start to slow down, to decrease my heart rate, or maybe just to look at the house and dream what it must be like to live there. It lives on the Cape Fear River and has magnificent views of the ICW, Bald Head Island and Caswell Beach as well as their lighthouses. 

Can you imagine waking up to a beautiful sunrise, stepping out on you back deck with a cup of morning coffee, or rocking on your back porch while watching the dolphins jump and play and teach their babies to hunt?  Imagine catching dinner off your own private dock, reading a book while resting in your gazebo. Jumping into your boat to go fishing or a sunset cruise.  What about evenings sipping sweet tea on your front porch while your friends and neighbors stroll by. The possibilities seem endless!

It's location is also a bonus.  It is only four or five blocks from the waterfront park, close to tennis courts and parks, and biking distance to many local restaurants and shops.  It has to be fun to ride your bike to the July 4th festivals and parades and not have to worry about the traffic going home!!!  Or what about walking to the Farmer's Market on Wednesdays to get your fresh produce and baking items for the week.  Wow!  I think it sounds perfect!  Plus it's red metal roof makes it very easy to spot from the water, and from space! :-)

Now if you are interested in finding our more... It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with around 1500 square feet of living space, plus or minus!  It was built in 2000 with pine floors throughout.  It has off street parking and a garage under the house. It is currently rented out as a nightly/weekly rental, which I think is a great oppourtunity to get a feel of what living there is truely like!  Call Brian Deutsch for more information on buying this home, or if you are looking for a vacation rental in the Southport area!  (910) 457-6401
