Gracious living at its finest.
The magnificent Porter House circa 1895 and is listed on the National Register of Historic places. Located in beautiful Tarboro NC, this home has been impeccably restored and is a superb blend of historic Italianate charm and modern-day amenities. It captures an air of informal elegance perfectly.
The relaxing front porch transports you back to a bygone era of charm and hospitality, leading you into the grand entryway with French doors and beautifully appointed rooms. A flexible
first-floor layout features dedicated family living and work from home space with two large front rooms. The formal dining room has a fireplace surrounded by mosaic tiles, soaring ceilings, and custom woodwork. This floor also has a comfortable study with another cozy fireplace and custom bookcases exquisitely crafted, a full bath, butler's pantry, and large laundry room. The custom kitchen includes a gas range and granite counters. Through the kitchen is a mud room leading out to the backyard oasis, beautifully landscaped and fenced with a oversized 2-space carport. The house has ample storage throughout.
On the second floor are three spacious bedrooms, two fireplaces, a full bath with a walk-in tiled shower and a secluded reading or study area.
This home is in the heart North Carolina's largest historic district where you can walk downtown for coffee, shopping, and dining. Tree lined streets are perfect for an evening stroll and steps away from the notable Town Common where you can enjoy the North Carolina Symphony and many other events throughout the year.
