A rare historic downtown Southern Pines home with genuine soul, thoughtful updates, and a story. A contributing structure within the National Register-listed Southern Pines Historic District, this circa-1915 home offers the rare combination of historic craftsmanship, thoughtful updates, generous storage, and walkable downtown living in the heart of Southern Pines. The National Register continuation sheet lists 360 S. Ashe St. as a contributing structure and specifically notes the screened porch, French doors, sash windows, rear additions, and central corbelled-cap chimney. Lovingly cared for and updated over the years as both a real home and an artist's studio, the home retains the warmth and craftsmanship that make older Southern Pines homes so special -- original hardwood floors, high ceilings, three fireplaces, French doors, built-ins, oversized windows, and architectural details that simply cannot be replicated in newer construction. This is not a neglected historic house waiting to be rescued; it is a soulful, livable home with original details still intact. For added buyer confidence, a professional pre-listing appraisal was completed on June 9, 2026 and valued the property at $781,000. The home's history adds another layer of charm. Local historians have connected the property to Dr. Ernest Poate, a physician, psychiatrist, and mystery novelist who wrote under the pen name Arthur Mallory -- a fitting 1930s chapter for a home in a town long loved by doctors, writers, artists, and creative professionals. That same creative spirit continues today in a house that has been home to an award-winning photographer for the past 20 years and has served as both a private residence and a place of inspiration. Inside, the home offers four spacious bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and flexible living spaces with abundant built-in storage throughout. One of the most memorable features is the large banquette beside a dramatic wall of leaded-glass windows that open to the screened porch; an ideal spot for morning coffee, reading, casual dining, or gathering with friends. French doors connect the main living areas to the porch, while additional French doors from the primary suite open directly to the backyard, creating a graceful indoor-outdoor flow rarely found in historic downtown homes. The primary suite features a fireplace and large infinity tub, while the second main bath offers a classic clawfoot tub -- blending comfort, charm, and timeless Southern Pines style. Outside, the property reveals one of its most special features: a private and peaceful fenced backyard retreat in the middle of downtown. A picket-fenced front garden creates storybook curb appeal, while the backyard offers mature trees, garden space, and room to entertain, relax, or enjoy time with pets beneath the Carolina pines. As downtown living becomes increasingly dense, this property stands out for its sense of space - a setting that feels tucked away and serene while still being just a block from restaurants, coffee shops, Gulley's Garden Center, and downtown shops, with parks and the Sunrise Theater just a little farther beyond. A large basement provides valuable storage space not included in the heated square footage, adding practical flexibility that is especially rare in a historic home. More than just a house, this is a lovingly cared-for piece of Southern Pines history -- a warm, creative, and deeply livable home with original soul, thoughtful updates, rare outdoor space, and a story that belongs to the town itself.

Sometimes a property comes along that simply doesn't fit the typical mold--and this is one of them. Built in 2025 with meticulous attention to both design and livability, 455 West New Hampshire represents something increasingly rare in downtown Southern Pines: a genuinely spacious home where you can actually live, gather, and move freely. The main floor opens with intention. Nine-foot ceilings catch the light and create an airy sense of space that belies the downtown location. The kitchen is the heart--grey and nutmeg cabinetry paired with white veined quartz, a substantial island for both cooking and conversation, and an adjoining butler's pantry that speaks to how thoughtfully this home was designed. There's a wine fridge here, overflow cabinets, and room to breathe. The family room and dining area flow together seamlessly, all of it anchored by an electric fireplace with tile surround and mantle. This is a first floor built for a family that actually gathers, or for someone who loves to host. The master suite upstairs is exceptional in both scale and detail--a walk-in closet that functions like a dressing room, a shower that you'll actually look forward to using, and a double vanity that doesn't force compromise. Two additional bedrooms, a laundry room, and a hall bath complete the upper level. And then there's the two-car attached garage. In downtown. This alone changes how you actually live here--no street parking, no weather worries, no compromise. At 2,758 square feet, with a location three blocks from everything downtown has to offer, this home is priced BELOW what the recent market supports. The seller is ready. The showing process is straightforward. This is the kind of value that doesn't stay available long.

The Town of Southern Pines has confirmed that this corner lot can be split into two additional buildable lots -- a rare, documented opportunity for a family compound, spec build, or income-producing investment in the heart of Downtown Southern Pines, steps from shops and restaurants. The existing home is a well-maintained 1920 Dutch Colonial Revival, thoughtfully expanded by Butler Constructs while preserving its original scale and character. The main floor flows naturally between a living room with vented gas fireplace, separate dining room, spacious family room, and a cook's eat-in kitchen designed by ASID designer Denis McCullough -- featuring eco-friendly countertops and Bosch appliances that remain with the home. A private main-floor office, a newer mud/laundry room, and a full bath complete the 1,431-square-foot ground level. Upstairs, four bedrooms, a bonus office nook, and a full bath offer peaceful, private space true to the home's 1920 character. A sketch is available illustrating the option to add a primary suite. Outside, a fully fenced patio and garden provide an exceptional, private entertaining space, and the oversized detached garage offers real potential as a workshop, gym, or studio, in addition to housing one car. Whether you're drawn to the character of the existing home, the confirmed development upside, or both -- this is a rare combination in Downtown Southern Pines. A recent home inspection is available with all minor repairs completed.
