Property Description
Welcome to 810 E. Cape Harbor Drive, a classic Southport ranch offering something increasingly difficult to find--comfortable single-level living, extra room around you, and an exceptional detached garage/workshop for the buyer who needs serious space for cars, hobbies, equipment, or projects. Located on approximately a lot and a half in a quiet, low-traffic area of Southport, this property provides a relaxed residential setting while keeping you remarkably close to the conveniences that make living in town so desirable. Historic Downtown Southport, the waterfront, restaurants, shopping, parks and community activities are just minutes away, while nearby medical services and the hospital are practically around the corner. It is a location that combines convenience with the feel of an established Southport neighborhood. The home features the easy, practical layout that has made ranch-style homes so popular for generations. Single-level living means no stairs to navigate as part of the daily routine, while the traditional design provides a comfortable foundation for a new owner to make the property their own. Whether you are looking for a primary residence, a Southport retirement home, or simply want to live close to downtown without being directly in the middle of its busier streets, this property deserves a closer look. But the feature that truly separates this property from the typical Southport home is the **oversized detached garage/workshop**. Measuring approximately **20' x 30'**, with **high ceilings, insulation and a metal roof**, this is far more than an ordinary backyard storage building. The garage was previously used for **automobile restoration**, giving it the size and working environment needed for someone who takes their projects seriously. For the classic-car enthusiast, collector, mechanic, woodworker, craftsman or dedicated hobbyist, finding this kind of usable shop space together with an in-town residence can be a challenge. Imagine having your restoration project, weekend vehicle, motorcycles, tools or workshop only steps from your back door instead of paying for separate storage or commercial shop space. The high ceiling adds versatility, while the insulated construction and durable metal roof make this a substantial improvement to the property. Even for a buyer who isn't rebuilding a classic car, the possibilities are extensive--boat and golf-cart storage, woodworking, equipment storage, an art or hobby shop, or simply one very impressive garage. The larger lot-and-a-half setting provides additional breathing room around the home and garage and contributes to the property's quieter residential character. You can enjoy having usable space without giving up the convenience of being in Southport. And that location may be one of the home's greatest long-term advantages. From Cape Harbor Drive, Historic Downtown Southport and the Cape Fear River waterfront are only minutes away. Spend the morning working on a project in the garage, then head downtown for lunch, take a golf-cart ride through town, visit the waterfront, or enjoy everything that makes Southport such a distinctive coastal community. **A ranch home, an unusually large 20' x 30' insulated garage/workshop, a lot-and-a-half, a low-traffic setting and convenient access to Downtown Southport and nearby medical facilities--all come together in one property.** If you have been searching for a Southport home where there is room not only to live, but also room for the cars, tools, hobbies and projects that are part of your lifestyle, 810 E. Cape Harbor Drive offers an opportunity that is difficult to duplicate.
