304 river drive

Nestled on just under an acre in the highly sought-after Southport coastal area, this charming riverfront brick ranch offers a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful waterfront living beneath a canopy of majestic oak trees. Start your mornings with coffee on the spacious screened porch as you watch boats drift by and take in the tranquil river views. Over the past three years, this home has been thoughtfully updated with numerous improvements, including a fully renovated kitchen, new doors and windows, freshly painted exterior, and the conversion of the garage into additional living space. An oversized screened porch was also added to the back of the home, creating the perfect spot for relaxing or entertaining while enjoying the coastal breeze. Inside, the home offers a warm and inviting layout. The beautifully updated kitchen opens to a cozy sitting or breakfast area featuring a charming fireplace. From there, the space flows into a large living room with a second fireplace and an adjoining formal dining room. Additional rooms include a laundry room, pantry, and a flexible office or bonus space. The private bedroom wing features two guest bedrooms, a full bath, and a comfortable primary suite. While so many major renovations were done, put your stamp and creativity into finishing the bathrooms and a few minor items. Need extra storage? This property also includes a partial basement and an outdoor shed, providing plenty of room for tools, lawn equipment, and recreational gear. Conveniently located just five minutes from the Southport Ferry, the Yacht Basin, and the shops and restaurants of historic downtown Southport, this home offers the perfect blend of peaceful riverfront living and easy access to everything that makes the Southport area so special.
