Property Description

A timeless home located in Tarboro's Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This exceptional property offers 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths with refined architectural details and a thoughtfully designed layout ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. Refinished original quarter-sawn heart-pine floors, soaring ceilings, intricate moldings, crown molding, and original windows with plantation shutters showcase the home's rich character throughout. Four fireplaces—three with gas logs and one wood-burning—add warmth and charm. The gourmet kitchen features an open eat-in design with a movable island, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, glass-front display cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting and outlets, a built-in microwave, generous storage, and striking stained-glass doors. Formal and informal living spaces flow beautifully and include a spacious dining room, light-filled sunroom, and custom study with built-ins. Updated bathrooms, including a walk-in shower, and a laundry room with custom doors add modern convenience (washer and dryer convey). Outside, enjoy beautiful zoysia grass, mature landscaping, a stunning private courtyard, charming side porch, irrigation system, rain gutters, and a storage shed. The partially finished basement with exterior entrance, lined walls, and drainage system provides outstanding storage and flexible space for hobbies, projects, or home maintenance. Major improvements include a newer roof (2021), dual-fuel HVAC systems (2024 and 2022), basement dehumidifier, and hot water heater—offering peace of mind while preserving the home's historic integrity. A rare opportunity to own one of Tarboro's treasured historic homes, where architectural beauty, timeless craftsmanship, and thoughtful updates come together seamlessly. Located in one of North Carolina's most charming historic towns, Tarboro is recognized as a North Carolina Certified Retirement Community, offering residents a vibrant downtown, rich history, cultural attractions, and a welcoming sense of community. 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.
