Property Description

A Southdowns Classic—Restored with Intention, Designed for a Lifetime. If you’ve been waiting for “the one,” don’t blink. This beautifully restored 1940s Southdowns cottage captures the charm of a bygone era—paired with the peace of mind of a total 2016 renovation. Homes like this are rarely available, and when they are, they don’t stay on the market long. Originally one of the first homes built in Southdowns, this pier-and-beam beauty underwent a complete restoration in 2016: new electrical and plumbing systems, new HVAC and ductwork, a new roof, insulation, sewer lines, water heater, and underground electrical service. It's a vintage look with the reliability of new construction—an uncommon blend that future you will thank you for. Inside, the home centers around a chef-worthy kitchen featuring THREE Wolf ovens (two electric wall ovens and one gas range with a griddle), 3cm granite countertops, a hand-crafted tile backsplash, and custom wood cabinetry with a built-in cookbook library. This is a kitchen designed not just for cooking, but for gathering, memory-making, and holiday hosting. You’ll find restored original wood floors throughout the home and a seamless addition that includes a stunning primary suite with reclaimed heart pine floors salvaged from an early 1800s South Carolina textile mill. The suite also features a generous walk-in closet and serene, timeless finishes. With four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including an upstairs suite and play area, the layout offers flexibility for modern living. A light-filled sunroom, original windows, 9-foot ceilings, new light fixtures, and LED bulbs add subtle elegance and energy efficiency. Out back, enjoy a screened-in rear porch with vaulted ceiling and dual fans—perfect for al fresco dining or game day hangs. The fully fenced backyard includes a 12x16 powered workshop, ideal for hobbies, storage, or creative work. Most homes make you choose between charm and reliability. This one doesn’t.
