117 Blount St, Edenton, North Carolina, Chowan County, 27932

This much admired, impeccable Edenton Bay waterfront home offers the RARE combination of historic charm, bold waterfront, and the ability to walk downtown. Located on quiet, picturesque Blount Street in Edenton's famed Historic District, it is the creme de la creme of Edenton real estate. The handsome brick home conveys understated elegance and a relaxed waterfront lifestyle. Although historic, the interior of the home is open with numerous large windows and French doors on both floors that open to double porches. A wide center hall is flanked by a formal dining room and a grand front-to-back parlor with fireplace. A lovely and inviting sunroom study is adjacent the living room with 2 walls of windows and a cozy fireplace - a heavenly retreat to tuck away. On the west waterside side of the home is a comfortable family room with pass-through to the sun-drenched kitchen and breakfast area. A new master suite on the main living level is an exquisite addition, complete with 3 walls of windows, a fireplace, and spacious bathroom and closet. A second primary suite is upstairs with access to the second story porch through French doors and a large, private bath and closet. Two additional bedrooms share a 3rd full bath, with one of them also having direct access to the upstairs waterfront porch - an incredible spot for morning coffee or enjoying the moonlight over the Bay. For outdoor entertaining, an expansive, dreamy lower terrace runs the width of the home. Details of the home include 10' ceilings and original plastered walls, crown moldings, and wood floors throughout. Outside, the same attention to detail is obvious in the established landscaping, the detached garage and climate conditioned studio, and the boat dock with lift and concrete bulkhead. Located only two blocks from downtown, this home is truly THE diamond of Edenton's waterfront!
