Spectacular waterfront home
Southprot property offers panoramic vistas all year long
On a snowy winter day, the owner of 41 River Lane in Southport enjoys sitting by a roaring fire in the living room and looking out over the water and the Harbor Road bridge. In fact, panoramic water vistas can be taken in all year long from this impeccably maintained Colonial sited with 200 feet of direct frontage on the serene Tide Mill Pond with Southport Harbor beyond.
“What I will miss most is sitting on the deck on summer evenings at sunset watching the ducks, geese and swan families swimming around the pond,” the owner commented.
It was the beauty and peacefulness of the Tide Mill Pond and privacy of the .66- acre setting that first attracted the owner to the idyllic setting. And with both the upstairs and downstairs living spaces seamlessly opening onto multiple decks, the glorious surroundings can be experienced throughout the 3,100- square foot home. The location also affords immediate access to launch kayaks and canoes for recreational pleasure.
