614 Atlantic Avenue, Southport

This Charming Historic Southport Cottage Steeped in local history and timeless charm, this delightful cottage dates back to the early 1900s when H. L. Dosher carried his new bride across its threshold to begin their life together. Built by A. J. Robbins using a $500 loan--the very first issued by Security Savings & Loan--this home was once considered ''in the country.'' Today, it offers the perfect blend of historic character and modern convenience just blocks from the vibrant Southport waterfront. Situated on a spacious 66' x 127' lot, this inviting single-level home features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 1,830 square feet of comfortable living space. Relax with a glass of sweet tea on the classic rocking-chair front porch, or enjoy the peaceful private fenced backyard, complete with a grapevine trellis and a charming rustic board building ideal for storage, hobbies, or creative use. Lovingly maintained, the home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its original character. Improvements include a new roof (2019), HVAC system (2017), and vinyl replacement windows (2011)--with the original windows preserved along the front of the home. Kitchen and Bathrooms updated 2023. Interior features include original hardwood floors in the front portion of the home, additional hardwoods and LVP flooring throughout, and a beautifully updated kitchen showcasing a Wolf gas range, custom hood, and subway tile backsplash extending to the ceiling. Matching subway tile accents continue in both bathrooms for a clean, timeless aesthetic. Additional highlights include gas logs, gas range, an irrigation well and system, and a spacious rear porch accessible from both the living room and the owner's suite. Beyond the backyard fence lies a 10-foot city-owned alley, providing additional separation and privacy. Conveniently located just two blocks from Dosher Hospital, this home is also only a short golf cart ride or pleasant walk to the charming shops, restaurants, and scenic waterfront of downtown Southport. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Southport's history while enjoying the comfort and charm of coastal cottage living.
