Property Description
Set back along a quiet stretch of Old Merry Hill Road in Merry Hill, NC, this charming farmhouse property offers an amazing combination of space, privacy, and timeless charm. Originally constructed in the early 1900s, the home reflects the simplicity of rural Eastern North Carolina architecture, thoughtfully positioned on approximately 2.69 acres of land. Surrounded by natural beauty and farmland, the setting evokes a peaceful, unhurried lifestyle--where wide skies, mature trees, and quiet surroundings define the lifestyle. The residence features four or five bedrooms (depending on preference) and two and a half baths, providing flexible living space. Inside, wood flooring and a classic layout provide a solid foundation for renovation or restoration, while the manageable footprint allows for thoughtful updates without overwhelming scale. Recently used seasonally as a hunting camp, a few updates would make this a remarkable full time home. Outdoors, the acreage invites a variety of uses--from gardening and recreation to small-scale homesteading. The setting feels tucked away, yet remains within convenient reach of nearby waterfront areas, the Albemarle Sound, and the historic charm of Edenton. Whether envisioned as a primary residence, a country retreat, or an investment opportunity, this property captures the essence of rural coastal Carolina living--authentic, peaceful, and full of potential. NOTE: 2069 SF has central HVAC. 1453 SF is conditioned with portable methods.
