If you have ever thought of owning a home in one of the most charming and historic little towns in North Carolina, this is your chance. Homes in this town are difficult to find, especially in this price range. This coastal cottage is a great investment property, and would be a great starter or retirement home - or even a short or long term rental. At this price, the possibilities are endless. The home is inside the city limits, and there are glimpses of Back Creek through the field across from the house. It sits on high ground, away from the flood zone - but is an easy stroll to town, the marina - and the water! This two bedroom, one bath house was built in 1949 and has been updated with modern amenities. It has beautiful old hardwood floors and a gas log fireplace in the living room. The kitchen has been upgraded with new cabinets, including a large new pantry cupboard. The stackable washer and dryer is tucked neatly into a corner of the kitchen, and the kitchen itself feels roomy. The Master Bedroom is in the front of the home, and a few waterviews can be seen through the windows. Much of the bathroom has been upgraded, but the older tile that remains adds charm and character. The bonus room off the kitchen is heated and cooled, and can be used as a mud room, a den, or even a bedroom. Enjoy relaxing on the front porch, with the screens allowing for the cool evening breezes. The yard is a nice size, large enough for the shed and small deck out back, and small enough to easily maintain through the summer months. It's charming, it's cozy, and it probably won't last too long. Become a member of this great little community, you'll love it here!
