Handsome natural woodwork, wood floors, a soaring ceiling, abundant natural light and incredible landscaping make this home truly special. A stunning great room is the heart of this home, with a high end kitchen, formal dining area, wood paneled library, office and primary suite on the main living level. Upstairs, there are 3 guest bedrooms and 2 full baths. An attached garage and detached potting shed provide workspace and storage. A pier is in place. This home is equally suited for a family getaway haven or a primary residence. Located less than 10 miles from Historic downtown Edenton, this property is truly a waterfront paradise!
