A RARE OPPORTUNITY to own a piece of Roanoke Island history. This charming craftsman-style bungalow, built in 1930, is nestled behind a white picket fence on just over half an acre of lush landscaping and specimen plantings. A stroll around the grounds brings a sense of peacefulness and appreciation for nature's beauty. This gardener's paradise includes a shed with a potting area and outdoor shower surrounded by grapevines, multiple fruit-bearing trees (chestnut, pecan, pear, persimmon, and mature fig trees), and a small Koi pond awaiting attention from the next owner.

A large street-facing, detached garage provides exceptional storage and space for a woodworking shop, a boat, a collectible car, or other hobbies. Entering the home from the rear, you'll be greeted by a stunning native Umbrella Magnolia offering seasonal displays of spring flowers, summer and fall fruits, and smooth gray bark in winter. The home has been lovingly updated, and the pre-listing inspection (available to serious prequalified buyers) highlights areas needing attention. The report indicates the home has been rewired and replumbed. The owner has taken steps to ensure the home is safe and watertight. Recently, the home was cleared of all personal property and deep-cleaned, revealing beautiful oak and pine flooring. As you walk through the home, the sturdiness of its structure and the integrity of its original framing are readily apparent. Significant renovations include an ensuite bathroom with vaulted ceilings and a spacious reading area with a wall of windows overlooking the gardens.

The home has two heat systems: a 2005 York Heat Pump combined with a gas furnace for the ground floor, AND A NEW TRANE 2024 14.2 SEER-2Ton HEAT PUMP with a NEW 2024 TRANE AIR HANDLER AND THERMOSTAT FOR THE SECOND FLOOR.

Continue on down Rte 158 and you will come to an intersection. Turn left and you will end up in Wanchese, turn right and you will be on your way to Manteo.

Traveling north on Virginia Dare Road you will see the entrances to College of the Albemarle and the Peninsula on your right and the Dare County Justice Center on your left. Moving along you come to Collins Creek and Shallowbag Bay Condos on your right and across the street is subdivision of Vista Lake.

If you turn right just past the Manteo Middle School you will end up in down town historic Manteo. Here you will find picturesque tree and shop lined streets, the Elizabeth II replica 16th century sailing ship and the Roanoke Island Festival Park surrounding the Manteo waterfront. Well worth a day trip.

North of the town you will find the Lost Colony outdoor drama, Fort Raleigh National Monument and the Manteo Airport. Town Of Manteo
