Located on
the picturesque waters of the Albemarle Sound in northeastern NC, Edenton is
often referred to as “the prettiest little town in the South.” Smithsonian.com lists Edenton as one of the
20 best small towns to visit and Coastal Living Magazine has featured Edenton
as their Dream Town As the first
capital of colonial North Carolina, Edenton has a rich historical past with
well preserved architecture and many notable historic sites. Our town embodies
small town Southern charm at its best, with friendly people, charming homes,
and incredible scenery that combine to capture your soul. The Atlantic Ocean
and Outer Banks of North Carolina are approximately an hour away, and 3
airports are easily accessible (Norfolk, VA – 1.5 hrs, Greenville, NC - 1.25
hrs, and Raleigh, NC – 2.25 hrs.) Edenton offers a municipal airport with a
6,000’ runway.
This much admired, impeccable Edenton Bay waterfront home
offers the RARE combination of historic charm, bold waterfront, and the ability
to walk downtown. Located on quiet, picturesque Blount Street in Edenton′s
famed Historic District, it is the creme de la creme of Edenton real estate.
The handsome brick home conveys understated elegance and a relaxed waterfront
lifestyle. Although historic, the interior of the home is open with numerous
large windows and French doors on both floors that open to double porches. A
wide center hall is flanked by a formal dining room and a grand front-to-back
parlor with fireplace. A lovely and inviting sunroom study is adjacent the
living room with 2 walls of windows and a cozy fireplace - a heavenly retreat
to tuck away. On the west waterside side of the home is a comfortable family
room with pass-through to the sun-drenched kitchen and breakfast area. A new
master suite on the main living level is an exquisite addition, complete with 3
walls of windows, a fireplace, and spacious bathroom and closet. A second
primary suite is upstairs with access to the second story porch through French
doors and a large, private bath and closet. Two additional bedrooms share a 3rd
full bath, with one of them also having direct access to the upstairs
waterfront porch - an incredible spot for morning coffee or enjoying the
moonlight over the Bay. For outdoor entertaining, an expansive, dreamy lower
terrace runs the width of the home. Details of the home include 10′ ceilings
and original plastered walls, crown moldings, and wood floors throughout.
Outside, the same attention to detail is obvious in the established
landscaping, the detached garage and climate conditioned studio, and the boat
dock with lift and concrete bulkhead. Located only two blocks from downtown,
this home is truly THE diamond of Edenton′s waterfront
