Charming 1910 Landmark Home in the Heart of Oriental!
Step into history with this beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bath home located just two blocks from the scenic Oriental Harbor. Originally built in 1910, this historic gem has been thoughtfully renovated for modern living while preserving its timeless, seafaring charm.
Enjoy cooking in the updated kitchen featuring butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a deep SS sink. Both bathrooms have been completely remodeled with new tile, and the home offers vinyl plank flooring, energy-efficient windows throughout. The original rolled metal standing seam roof—a true lifetime roof—adds historic flair and durability.
Comfort is ensured year-round with three new mini-split units. This home offers plenty of space to relax, entertain, and make lasting memories. No HOA and no HOA dues!
Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Oriental's rich history in a prime location—where coastal charm meets modern comfort.
Some wood is exposed from the wind blowing off some of the front, left fascia. Soft spot located after you walk through the front door that is being addressed by the seller. Mildew was found in a closet in the upstairs bathroom next to the bathroom, but has been completely remediated, per the seller. Source was the upstairs mini split not being turned on, and humidity. Water heater is currently leaking from the release valve into the pan, and the pvc drain is working fine. Seller aware and working on getting repaired. There's currently not a crawl space door on the back entry to the crawl space.
