418 E 9th St, Washington, NC 27889

Southern Living recently called Washington, NC ''the most charming waterfront town you've never heard of.'' We're inviting you to discover what they've been missing in the *real* Washington-the nation's first. The hospitality is only further enhanced at 418 E 9th Street—showcasing a classic brick Cape Cod inspired home that holds on to its original charm while blending in thoughtful modern updates. Crown & dentil moldings, tiled window ledges, and solid built-ins tell stories of days gone by (or are they?) It's the perfect balance of yesteryear and now... Recent updates make the house ready to enjoy: 2024 architectural roofs (both the main home and cottage), replacement slider windows on front, new oak hardwoods extended through the kitchen and den to flow seamlessly with the originals, and a stunning kitchen remodel complete with butcher block counters and gourmet appliances. Permanent stairs to unfinished second level attic or future area-another canvas for creativity. There's even a ''pet door'' in the mud room for ease of access to fenced in portion of yard for the free will pup or roaming kit! The backyard is ready for whatever you bring to it—whether it's a lively gathering with friends or a quiet staycation, with a circular aboveground pool plus a hot tub on the rear porch, perfect for winding down or keeping the party going year round. The cottage offers a dual-bay garage plus over 700 additional square feet equipped with mini-split HVACs (no permits on file for improvements in cottage). Sitting on a prime raised lot, you'll have peace of mind being out of the floodplain while staying less than a mile from the Pamlico River boardwalk and the picturesque streets of Washington's historic downtown, where hometown pride for locals and newcomers alike shines bright! Some say Washington's nationwide publicity is late to the party-but I say, you're right on time. *Seller is open to reasonable concessions or allowances with an acceptable offer*.
