4139 Devonshire Lane, Southport

Step inside to a bright, open living area with a cathedral ceiling and a TRUE WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE--a special feature that brings warmth and character you simply don't find in every newer home. The kitchen flows naturally into the breakfast area and main living space, while a separate dining room offers flexibility for entertaining, a home office or everyday dining. Recent updates include fresh interior paint, LVP flooring, custom front-door inlays and a convenient built-in drop zone. The real magic is out back. A screened porch and adjoining deck overlook the wooded backyard and picturesque pond, creating a peaceful retreat for morning coffee, wildlife watching, reading or relaxing at the end of the day. Multiple access points from the living area, screened porch and primary suite make the outdoor space feel like a natural extension of the home. The primary suite includes an ensuite bath and walk-in closet, with two additional bedrooms and a full guest bath completing the practical one-level floor plan. No oversized house to maintain--just thoughtfully arranged space for full-time living, a coastal second home or an easy lock-and-leave lifestyle. And then there is St. James itself. Residents enjoy a gated waterfront community with 24/7 security, an oceanfront beach club, private beach parking, marina, restaurant and tiki bar, parks, walking and biking trails, kayak launch, dog parks, community spaces and more. Optional club membership expands the lifestyle with championship golf, dining, fitness, pools, tennis, pickleball and additional recreational amenities.
