| The R. Newton House, Circa 1886, is located on a double-sized corner lot, in the heart of Southport, one block from river and across from a community Park.
This historic home was previously operated as a bed & breakfast and known as the Indian Oak Inn. It has all the charm of yesteryear with hardwood floors, 3 fireplaces, period crown moldings, a center hall, bay windows and more. Relax on the upper or lower porches on the front or side of the home or the decks overlooking the back yard and capture the breeze from the Cape Fear River shaded by majestic oaks.
Entertain in style with a formal living room (front parlour), a formal dining room and a butlers pantry juxtaposed to the large kitchen. A sunroom off the kitchen is perfect as a breakfast or morning room. Four large bedrooms (two with fireplaces and ensuite bathrooms) are located on the second floor.
A large 32' x 12' room on the first floor is currently being used as a large family room with several seating areas. It has a bay window, fireplace, mantel, ensuite bathroom a walk-in closet, two doors leading to the center hall and a door to the side yard. This room was originally two separate rooms and had a wall dividing them. It could easily be restored back to two rooms and used as a downstairs (5th) bedroom and a smaller family room, approximately 16' x 12' each.
Southport is a quaint, historic town, located on the Cape Fear River with a waterfront park, pier, and dock.
