415 E 5th Street, Washington, NC 27889

Nicknamed the ''Flower Cottage'' by passersby, this eye-catching cottage's yard is sprinkled with a variety of blooming bushes, bulbs, shade trees, magnolias, and fruit trees, and is full of color come spring time. It's quite the charmer from the road and flaunts its 1960's features throughout. The care for the home is evident and is reflected in the safety updates, replacements and maintenance that include the roof, heat pump, duct work, electrical panels, plumbing, flooring, garage doors, and interior and exterior paint. Unlike many homes in the area, this one sits on .46 acres (two parcels) and offers 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, 1331 sqft of one-level living, a covered breezeway to a two-car garage that boasts a dedicated utility room and overhead storage, another detached 2-car garage with a separate workshop area, and a driveway with parking for 5+ vehicles and easy turnaround. Either garage may be perfect as a Hobby Cave, Home Gym, Art Studio, Mechanic's Cave or some other dream you have. The property backs up to an open conservation area along Jack's Creek, directly across from the Veterans' Park and Jack's Creek Greenway. It's the perfect spot to enjoy the water view, catch a breeze under a pecan tree, stargaze by a fire pit, or visit with the ducks and geese. This largely owner occupied section is a short walk or bike ride to Washington's riverfront, the Harbor District, restaurants, basketball courts, skate park, dog park, or rec center.
