Description

Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort in the Heart of Edenton Welcome to this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home tucked into one of North Carolina's most historically significant towns — Edenton. This property beautifully blends modern updates with the timeless character that makes Edenton so special. Picture yourself starting slow mornings on the inviting front porch, coffee in hand, waving to neighbors as the town gently comes to life. It's the kind of porch that makes you pause, breathe, and feel at home — whether you're living here full-time or welcoming guests from near and far. Edenton is known for its well-preserved architecture, streets, and rich colonial history, with landmarks dating back to the early 1700s and its role as one of North Carolina's first colonial capitals. This location puts you just minutes from historic downtown, the waterfront, local shops, dining, and cultural attractions. Inside, you'll find an efficient layout with thoughtful updates, including new LVP flooring and a stacked washer and dryer for everyday convenience. Major improvements were completed in 2019, including a new roof and HVAC system, along with a natural gas water heater. Outdoors, enjoy a freshly painted back deck and a new 8' x 8' storage shed, offering both charm and functionality. This home would make a very cute Airbnb or short-term rental, thanks to its unbeatable location near historic downtown Edenton — or it could be the perfect first-time home for someone looking to put down roots in a town filled with history, beauty, and community. Whether you're searching for a starter home, a weekend getaway, or a smart rental opportunity, this property offers flexibility, charm, and a setting that never goes out of style. Homes like this — with porch appeal, updates, and location — don't come along often. Schedule your showing and come experience the feeling for yourself.
