A rare opportunity to own a piece of Southport history — Nestled in the heart of historic Southport Village, the Eleazar Bulkley house, is a pristine example of Federal architecture, c.1811. Lovingly restored by its current owner, This stately home embodies the refined tastes of the early 19th century, seamlessly blended with thoughtful, modern luxury. From its symmetrical facade to meticulously restored interior, every inch of this residence reflects timeless craftsmanship while offering the comfort and functionality of modern living.
Throughout the home, 200-year-old old-growth virgin pine flooring anchors each room with warmth and character. Six fireplaces — four gas, two wood-burning — add charm and ambiance, while carefully concealed modern updates provide peace of mind. All major systems have been thoughtfully replaced, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and insulation. The home is equipped with central air, gas heat, a continuous hot water heater, a whole-house generator, and a comprehensive security system.

The kitchen is designed for both serious chefs and gracious hosts, featuring a Lacanche range with dual ovens (one gas, one electric) and seven burners, a range hood, and Sub-Zero appliances — including a refrigerator, built-in wine fridge, and two refrigerator drawers. Two Bosch dishwashers, custom cabinetry, marble and granite countertops, and dual kitchen sinks with polished nickel Rohl fixtures complete the space.

Each of the four bedrooms offers its own en-suite bath, with radiant heated floors, electric mirrors, and heated towel racks. The primary bathroom includes a built-in mirror TV — a thoughtful touch of modern luxury. A stylish half bath serves guests on the main level.

Details such as Forbes & Lomax polished nickel light controls, Hunter Douglas automatic shades in the kitchen and third-floor bedroom, and custom pocket doors in the dining room, laundry area, and primary suite closet reflect a deep respect for craftsmanship. The second-floor laundry room includes a sink for added convenience, and the spotless basement, complete with a new concrete floor and exterior hatch, includes a sump pump for added protection.

Outdoors, a heated two-car garage with automatic doors sits among mature perennial gardens that have earned multiple landscape architecture awards. Slate patios and walkways wind through the grounds, leading to a charming garden summer house. A pet containment system and irrigation system enhance the ease of daily living, while a gracious front porch invites relaxation in every season.

This is more than just a home — it’s a living piece of Southport’s history, brought beautifully into the present.
