611 Old 2nd St, Washington, NC 27889

Located in a Nationally Registered Historic District in waterfront town, this Victorian Queen Anne home is one of the last of the "fixer-uppers" in a highly desirable area. Welcoming you with a sitting front porch, this home offers two stories and attic. Located on a quiet street running only one block, ending at a City park, this home's location feels more private than many in the historic district. Huge rooms and high ceilings. Current owner has been dealing with cancer and now lacks the energy to complete planned renovations. Tax credits available for renovations to historic homes. Available AS IS. Please contact owner ONLY IF SERIOUSLY INTERESTED. Previous owners rewired home. Roof less than fifteen years old. With the exception of kitchen and bathrooms home has hardwood floors; heart pine, some under carpet installed by previous owners, and oak in the front parlor. Floor plan is easily adaptable. Current owner was in early stages of remodeling & renovation when cancer was diagnosed. New owners could design/remodel to own specifications. Home offers fireplaces (if reopened) in two rooms each on BOTH first and second floors. Among special features downstairs are four, glass paned doors dividing main rooms from one another. Large center hall has been divided on both floors offering perfect spaces for office, reading, or crafts. Previous owners used upstairs front space as a smaller bedroom. Extending beyond center hall, at back of the house, is a screen porch. Its doors open into both kitchen and directly into downstairs bathroom. This allows easy clean up when returning from swimming, boating or fishing in the nearby Pamlico River. An old garage at rear of the property offers space for storage and a separate workroom with electricity. Values in this historic district have increased rapidly. Neighborhood offers sidewalks, warm neighbors and the value & charm of a historic area. This is a potentially idyllic home awaiting a visionary new owner
