Your iconic Southport estate offers a rare opportunity to own one of the most distinguished homes on East Bay Street. Perched high above the Cape Fear River, your home captures sweeping water views and places you just a short stroll from Southport’s waterfront, restaurants, boutiques, and marina. Originally a summer retreat for North Carolina Governors, this contributing property to the Southport Historic District has been masterfully restored to honor its architectural heritage while incorporating the comforts and systems expected in a luxury residence. Whether envisioned as an extraordinary private home for an affluent retiree, a legacy property for multi-generational living, or a boutique inn, the flexibility and pedigree are unmatched. Spanning 6,025 square feet across three finished levels, including a 1,645-square-foot lower level with multiple private entrances, the residence offers six bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths. This thoughtful layout is ideal for hosting extended family, accommodating live-in caregivers, or creating private guest suites. Nine fireplaces, soaring ceilings, heart pine floors, intricate moldings, and Southport’s signature bow detailing reflect the craftsmanship of a bygone era. A dramatic central rotunda creates a memorable sense of arrival and anchors gracious formal living and dining rooms designed for elegant entertaining. The fully remodeled kitchen blends timeless character with high-end appliances and refined finishes. Many bedrooms enjoy fireplaces, strong natural light, and captivating river views. One of the home’s most enchanting lifestyle features is the broad front porch, where you can watch ships pass on the Cape Fear River, walk to dinner in historic downtown Southport, and return home for sunset cocktails with cooling coastal breezes. The beautifully landscaped grounds are framed by mature live oaks and feature irrigation, a pond with water feature, French drains, river rock accents, decorative brick parking, and new picket and privacy fencing. Recent improvements include a full kitchen remodel, complete renovation of all bathrooms, refinished heart pine floors, updated lighting, Low-E storm windows, rebuilt side porch with metal roof, 2025 reconstructed upper balcony with new French doors, whole-house Generac generator, Rinnai tankless water heater, Halo whole-house filtration system, nine Mitsubishi mini-split systems, updated electrical service, new natural gas line, and full sewer replacement.

Wilmington is a historic port city along the Cape Fear River that features three gorgeous island beaches, Carolina, Kure, & Wrightsville Beach. The hub of culture exists in downtown Wilmington with the riverwalk, the historic district, featuring Victorian-era homes and gardens, signature gourmet restaurants, and the highly decorated World War II Battleship, USS North Carolina. The historic artistic culture is complemented by the small beach town aesthetic offered by top-rated pristine beaches at Wrightsville Beach, historic Carolina Beach, and Kure Beach. The art, music, food, architecture, history, and natural beauty of Wilmington make it the #1 emerging market in the US (Mansion Global, 2022).
Wilmington boasts the luxuries of a big city, while maintaining all the charm of a historic, intimate beach town. Wilmington offers luxury for all tastes—majestic Southern mansions, sprawling waterfront villas, modern estates, and charming historic manors. Areas near Mayfaire and in the Masonboro intracoastal area are some of the most popular coastal luxury communities, including the grandiose community of Landfall, encompassing 2,200 square acres, while the Historic District of downtown Wilmington features classical architecture in the Italianate, Colonial, Queen Anne, and Victorian styles. Autumn Hall takes the traditional Southern mansion and creates a more modern and open concept. Wilmington is known for its iconic beaches with white sand and crystalline waters, it’s extensive historic value through the Revolutionary and Civil War eras, and its booming growth through the 21st century.
The most sought-after vacation spot of North Carolina, Wilmington is far more than the average American beach town. The center of trade for several centuries, Wilmington is inundated with rich culture and history. Downtown Wilmington and the Historic District of Wilmington are the central hub for museums, restaurants, nightlife, historic artifacts and buildings, shops and the famous Cape Fear Riverwalk, the longest continuous Riverwalk on the East Coast. The beaches stretch along the whole length of Wilmington and beyond and are some of the most beautiful and well-maintained beaches on the East Coast and in America. There are many local shops and restaurants that surround the beaches, such as world-famous, family-owned Britt’s Doughnuts at Carolina Beach. Wilmington offers a lot of natural beauty on land as well, with plenty of natural foliage in the city and magnificent parks, most notably Airlie Gardens. The historic Airlie Gardens is 67 acres of formal gardens, wildlife, ten acres of lakes, more than 75,000 azaleas, the tall Airlie Oak, which dates back to 1545, and a seasonal butterfly house all located two miles west of Wrightsville Beach. Another interesting aspect of Wilmington’s culture is the abundant film history. Often referred to as ”Hollywood East”, there have been over 400 films and television shows filmed in the city, including Dawson’s Creek, One Tree Hill, Sleepy Hollow, A Walk to Remember, Iron Man 3 and hundreds more. Not only does this industry drive the economy, but the luxury economy as well, with hundreds of actors and actresses buying and renting luxury properties as second or vacation homes for films or for luxurious getaways. The most notable names in the world have been calling Wilmington home either temporarily or long-term for decades now.
