Property Description

Step into timeless Southern charm at this beautifully preserved 1928 home, where historic character meets thoughtful modern updates. Located along one of Tarboro's beautiful historic streets, this distinctive home offers the craftsmanship and architectural details that make older homes so special--without sacrificing today's comforts. Inside, soaring ceilings, gorgeous quarter-sawn heart pine floors, abundant natural light, detailed millwork, plantation shutters, stained-glass doors, and four fireplaces create warmth and character throughout. The updated kitchen is designed for everyday living and entertaining, while spacious gathering areas, a sunroom, study, and flexible living spaces provide plenty of room to relax, work, and host. Outside, a private courtyard surrounded by mature landscaping creates an unexpected retreat, complemented by a charming side porch, irrigation, storage, and a partially finished basement with exterior access. Major improvements offer added peace of mind, including a 2021 roof, dual-fuel HVAC systems installed in 2022 and 2024, replacement windows, updated bathrooms, and additional improvements throughout. Convenient to historic downtown Tarboro, the Town Common, dining, shopping, cultural attractions, and community amenities, this home offers the opportunity to enjoy small-town living surrounded by history and architectural beauty. Tarboro is also recognized as a Certified NC Retirement Community with convenient access to Rocky Mount and Greenville. If you've dreamed of owning a historic home but don't want to take on a major restoration, this may be the one you've been waiting for.
