Description
This large, stately Colonial Revival home is situated on a large lot on the corner of Queen and Oakum Streets - and it's believed that a portion of the house dates to approximately 1835. Expansive porches welcome you into a gracious foyer flanked by parlors on each side. The current center hall, four-over-four plan with a two-story ell was born of a large ca1908 renovation, and the many rooms have seen various purposes over the years. At present, the first level offers formal living and dining rooms, a cozy paneled den, warm kitchen and first floor bedroom. Upstairs, there is a large landing with 4 bedrooms - each with lovely natural light. An additional bedroom - with direct access to the upper rear porch - has been used for storage. The house has lovely woodwork and bones and is an excellent candidate for restoration. The roof is new and all systems are in working order. It's totally feasible to occupy the property as work is done to return her to glory. This house has a commanding presence in downtown Edenton and has long been admired as the beautiful, beloved home of one of Edenton's well-respected, long time mayors. Walk just down the street to Edenton Bay and downtown shops and restaurants!
