Ribbon Cutting Ceremony - Southport Way

February 2013

Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the City of Southport, Sanco Homes and Willetts Properties of Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage held a Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for Southport Way. Southport Way a new neighborhood located off Robert Ruark Drive in Southport features a series of cottages ranging from $169,900 to $229,900 called the Southport Collection. The Southport Collection is designed with the look of the old historic charm of Southport with new home appeal.

and charm of old historic Southport Cottages. Unfortunately, those old cottages were in short supply and those that were available came with all the problems associated with old houses. Why, they asked, doesn't someone build new homes that combine all the charm of the old cottages with all the benefits that come with being new?

Fortunately for the Southport area, Award winning, Hall of Fame Builder Sanco Homes, long known for its creativity, attention to detail and ability to create spaces that live large, accepted that challenge. Realizing that the neighborhood setting was going to be just as important as the individual house plans, Sanco began by studying the history of Southport, its architecture and what makes the "historic look".

From that point they developed, in concert, a series of Cottages called the Southport Collection and a neighborhood in which to showcase them. We think you will be amazed when you join us for the unveiling of our new Southport Way neighborhood and see the attention to detail of both the neighborhood, and the charming cottages (each named for a significant person or place in Southport history).

With their high end appointments and warm charm you'll also be amazed at the very affordable prices of this very limited edition. We think this truly is the
