281 Pequot Avenue

Step through a stunning 18th-century door and brick-floored archway into a home that seamlessly blends historic character with modern luxury. The great room impresses with a soaring 10-foot cathedral ceiling, original 18th-century arch and mantel, and a wood-burning fireplace set against antique wide-plank floors - the perfect backdrop for entertaining. The chef's kitchen features skylights, pantry, and laundry area, plus a convection oven, five-burner gas range, microwave, dishwasher, and instant hot water. The dining room is framed by a light-filled window and another 18th-century fireplace, adding warmth and charm. There are three bedrooms and three full baths, including a primary suite with whirlpool tub and shower. A loft/library mezzanine offers a serene retreat for reading or working from home. French doors from the great room - or directly from the primary suite - open to a 1,514-sq-ft stone patio and lush garden, perfect for alfresco dining. Nestled in Historic Southport Village, the home is a short walk to the train, restaurants, and the beach. Available furnished or unfurnished
