Property Description
Tucked behind a long private drive in the heart of Southport Village, "The Cottage" is a rare and enchanting coastal retreat that captures the serenity of another time. Built c1919 by architect William S. Sloan as his personal home-Sloan was a decorated WWI veteran and grandson of DL&W Railroad president and Citibank founder Sam Sloan-this timeless haven blends heritage with ease. Set on 2.35 park-like acres just steps from the beach, it offers a quiet elegance with a wraparound screened porch made for morning coffee and evening conversations. Inside, sunlit rooms, a first-floor primary suite, and original architectural details echo the home's soulful past, while updated interiors provide comfort for modern living. A place to gather, breathe, and reconnect-with nature, loved ones, and life's simpler rhythms. Outside, enjoy a tranquil pool, tennis court, enclosed vegetable garden, and even a peach tree. A charming guest cottage invites extended stays or private escapes. Walk to Southport Beach, the train, and the village. This is coastal living with history, heart, and soul.
