A timeless historic residence located in Tarboro's Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This exceptional home offers 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths with refined architectural details and a thoughtful layout designed for both entertaining and everyday living. Refinished original heart-pine floors, soaring ceilings, detailed molding, crown molding, and original windows with plantation shutters showcase the home's historic character throughout. Four fireplaces -- three with gas logs and one wood-burning -- add warmth and charm. The gourmet kitchen features an open eat-in design with movable island, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, glass-front display cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting and outlets, built-in microwave, generous storage, and striking stained-glass doors. Formal and informal spaces flow beautifully, including gracious dining room, light-filled sunroom, and custom study with built-ins. Updated bathrooms, walk-in shower, and laundry room with custom doors complete the interior (washer and dryer convey). Outside, enjoy beautiful zoysia grass, mature landscaping, stunning private courtyard, charming side porch, irrigation system, storage shed, and rain gutters. The partially finished basement with exterior entrance, lined walls, and drainage system provides excellent storage and functional space for home maintenance or hobbies. Major updates include newer roof (2021), dual fuel HVAC systems (2024 & 2022), basement dehumidifier, and hot water heater -- offering peace of mind while preserving the home's timeless character. A rare opportunity to own a truly special historic home where architectural beauty and thoughtful updates come together seamlessly.
