Description
Welcome to the Parish Frink Home, a treasured piece of Southport history dating back to circa 1910. Full of timeless charm and authentic character, this beautifully preserved cottage offers the rare opportunity to own a historic home just a few blocks from the waterfront and the heart of downtown Southport.
Leave the car behind and hop on your golf cart to explore Southport's award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping, waterfront parks, marinas, and year-round festivals. You'll love having a front-row seat to one of the area's most beloved traditions--the Southport Fourth of July Festival and parade are practically at your doorstep, making holiday celebrations easier than ever. Best of all, enjoy the convenience of your own private parking area and avoid the downtown traffic and parking headaches.
Inside, historic craftsmanship meets everyday comfort. Signature Southport Bows accent several windows, while plantation shutters, tongue-and-groove V-joint walls, exposed ceiling beams, and board-and-batten details preserve the home's original coastal character. The inviting living room features an electric fireplace, creating a cozy gathering space year-round.
The thoughtfully updated kitchen offers custom cabinetry installed in 2018, blending modern function with classic style. The home includes two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath with a convenient laundry area. A formal dining room, highlighted by a stunning Turkish crystal chandelier, provides the perfect setting for entertaining family and friends.
Step outside to enjoy quiet mornings on the welcoming front porch swing or relax on the screened side porch while taking in Southport's coastal breezes. The backyard features a new privacy fence, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat, along with a storage shed that's perfect for keeping your lawn equipment, gardening tools, beach gear, and outdoor essentials neatly organized.
Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, weekend retreat, or investment in one of North Carolina's most charming coastal communities, this historic gem places you just minutes from the waterfront, nearby beaches, and an easy drive to Wilmington. Come experience the history, charm, and unmatched lifestyle that only downtown Southport can offer.
