Set on 1.25 acres in the heart of historic Southport Village, 195 Old South Road offers something increasingly rare: the character and presence of an 1829 Federal/Greek Revival residence with an unusually expansive yard. Private and surrounded by mature plantings, the 4,254-square-foot home offers four bedrooms, three full and two half baths across three floors. A gracious Front Hall, anchored by a sweeping curved staircase, opens easily to the home's principal rooms. The sun-filled, 30-foot Living Room features 9-foot ceilings and connects to the Dining Room through a passage framed by arched openings and a built-in wet bar. An expansive Family Room/Sunroom is accessible from the Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen, creating an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining. Three wood-burning fireplaces add warmth and character. The generous Primary Suite features a gas fireplace, dressing room and private bath. A separate Guest Suite, two additional bedrooms and unfinished upper-level space offer flexibility. A substantial historic barn/garage accommodates two cars, with potential for three, and offers a full second floor. A large, level lawn provides remarkable privacy in close proximity to Southport Harbor, Southport Beach and Metro-North. A rare combination of acreage, architectural character and Village location. 195 Old South Road can be enjoyed immediately while offering its next owners the freedom to make the home distinctly their own over time.
