Charming Circa 1800s Farmhouse with Modern Updates in the Heart of Chowan County
Step back into time with this beautifully remodeled farmhouse, originally built in the 1800s and thoughtfully updated for today's lifestyle. Tucked away in the scenic farm country of Chowan County, this home offers a perfect blend of historic character and modern convenience.
Inside, you'll find touches of the past lovingly preserved—original hardwood floors add warmth and charm, while two stunning fireplaces, recently discovered behind walls and fully restored, serve as striking focal points. Both are equipped with propane lines and ready for gas log installation at the buyer's discretion.
The inviting floor plan features a lovely corner screened-in porch perfect for relaxing mornings, and a sunroom at the rear of the home that floods the space with natural light. A formal dining room sits just off the kitchen, making entertaining a breeze, while a convenient half bath near the kitchen provides a perfect guest restroom. The dedicated laundry room includes washer and dryer hookups for added ease.
Outside, enjoy the benefits of country living with modern utility—there's a outbuilding offering excellent storage or workshop potential, as well as a historic smokehouse that adds to the property's charm.
Located just minutes from downtown Edenton, you'll enjoy easy access to boutique shopping, delightful dining, and the scenic beauty of the Albemarle Sound.
This unique property offers the rare opportunity to own a piece of history with all the comforts of a modern home—don't miss your chance to make it yours!
