One of Southport's most admired homes has kept its original elegance and charm throughout the years. Built in 1887, it has hardwood floors, high ceilings, beautiful windows, woodwork and a front wrap around porch. It sits on one of the most beautiful and sizable lots in Southport. Just past the three-car garage, is a fairy tale garden with flowering trees, fruit trees and natural growing flowers. Birds chirp and guests delight.

Graced by handcrafted trim and detail, there are hardwoods in all of the bedrooms and main rooms. Walking past the two main living rooms, there is an addition at the end that opens up to dining, the kitchen and a family room. It's the very best of a Historic Home and newer family space. Plenty of windows bring in bright light and a fireplace with gas logs has a beautiful brick wall surrounding it.

This home has been in the same family for over 50 years and was nicely preserved and loved. It has stood tall and proud for over 130 years weathering even the toughest of storms. Sitting just one block to Southport's famed waterfront, this lovely home is not in a flood zone. It's within walking distance to the waterfront, marina, restaurants, shops, museums and parks.

Close your eyes and imagine sitting on a large wrap around porch, rocking back and forth, sipping your favorite beverage, listening to the birds and greeting your neighbors as they walk by with their dogs. Others ride their bikes or travel by golf cart to see the sun rise, set or just shine over the beautiful waters where the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Fear River and Intracoastal Waterway meet.

Some people say living in Southport is like living a ''Fairy Tale'' life. Well this house is the perfect house to live that fairy tale life. Modern conveniences in a beautiful historic masterpiece. Captains, River Boat Pilots and local business owners have all raised families and called it home. We are now excited to offer you the chance to live this dream at 108 N. Lord Street.
