The historic Bazemore house, built between the late 1700s and the mid 1800s is a perfect example of a coastal cottage. The large, wide front porch is not only classic but also welcoming - just right for coffee and cocktails while you ''watch the world go by'' on Hwy 11. One chimney remains on the left side making it a focal point in the current designated living room. Historic renovations were started with period flooring, wainscoting, moldings, nine-over-six sash windows and beaded siding remain in-tact. The columns, porch flooring, and decorative trim on the homes exterior are all in great condition. In the early 20th century, a rear shed was added and connected to the original home by an enclosed breezeway. The original center hall, flat-paneled wainscoting, six flat-paneled doors and a Federal mantle are just some of the historic features in this home. The Bazemore House is said to be the oldest house in town. The large front and side porches are perfect for relaxing outside. With over 1800 square feet, this home allows for various room configurations - right now it's a blank slate. If you are a contractor or love doing ''contractor things'', you'll love making this beautiful, historic home your own. New owners need to choose heat/ac and septic companies. The house has been recently wired and is waiting for your fixtures and placement. Outstanding curb appeal with gorgeous landscaping - Crepe Myrtles, Otto Luyken Laurel, ligustrum hedge, Sweetbay Magnolia and others. The owner has done way more than preserve this historic treasure; she's set the stage for a spectacular home. If you're preservation-minded with the ability to handle the construction projects, this is the home for you. You'll be so glad you did! The location is an easy commute to Edenton, Greenville NC, Ahoskie and Rocky Mount. Septic permit approved. Cash and possibly 203K renovation loan. Deeded historic covenants with Preservation NC.
