About this home
Step into a lifestyle like no other in Washington, NC's Downtown Historic District. Thoughtfully and beautifully renovated, this 1889 Victorian blends timeless character with the comfort and function today's buyers want. An inviting wraparound porch welcomes you home, while double front doors open to a stunning center hall filled with original charm and a graceful staircase. At the end of the hall, a powder room and dedicated desk nook add everyday function. Six fireplaces--each with its own personality--bring warmth and history throughout. The light-filled living room features a beautiful bay window, while the formal dining room with built-in china cabinet is ready for intimate dinners or holiday gatherings. The kitchen may become your favorite room. Designed for connection, it offers leathered granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, a gas cooktop, abundant storage, and a bar where family and friends can pull up a stool and stay awhile. A spacious laundry room leads to the screened porch and beautifully established backyard with mature plantings and trees. The first-floor primary suite includes an updated bath with double vanities, tiled shower, private water closet, and walk-in closet. Upstairs are three generous bedrooms, ample closet space, and an updated full bath. A thoughtfully renovated carriage house adds even more character and flexibility to the property. And then there's the lifestyle: stroll the riverfront at sunrise or sunset, walk to dinner and downtown shops, enjoy cuisine from a James Beard Finalist chef just blocks away, and live in a neighborhood where people know your name--and those who don't still say hello. Nearby boat slips and boat storage make life on the Pamlico even easier. Don't just buy a historic home. Step into the life that comes with it. Per previous owners, roof replaced around 2016.
