PRIME BUSINESS LOCATION on .275 acres IN DOWNTOWN HISTORIC SOUTHPORT. Circa 1928, the A. Tilden and Lizzie McKeithan House has served as home to the iconic Ricky Evans Art Gallery for the past twenty years.This gracious historic southern beauty has served as residential quarters to its owners as well. As the owners prepare to retire to pursue painting full time a rare opportunity emerges for a lucky new owner to house his or her business with the potential opportunity to reside on-site in the second floor two bedroom one bath owners apartment, or to lease it out as a short term rental or to use it for business purposes. ZONED BUSINESS DISTRICT this property includes a 2448 square foot Craftsmen style historic home plus two conditioned outbuildings (457 ft2 and 296 ft2) on an oversized lot with lots of potential. This property encompasses .275 acres, a rarity in the downtown Historic District where land is like gold. The property encompasses parts of lots 64, 65 and 66 of the original 100 lots laid out in 1793 for the creation town of the town of Smithville, now Southport. The original owner Tilden McKeithan was Clerk of the Superior Court. The view from the rear porch of the upstairs owners suite is like looking into the Garden of Eden-who could imagine such a spacious treed lot in the heart of downtown. The outbuildings are currently used as an office and painting studio, and as a wood shop for crafting custom frames. The possibilities are endless for continuing these structures in their current use, repurposing them, or making room for an an addition to the primary structure. An alley on the south side of the primary structure offers vehicular access to the rear of the property for parking and or vehicle storage, a rarity in downtown.
