Own a piece of Pitt County history. Walk under the original transom window over the front door of the house built for F. L. Eagles between 1901 and 1906. The home has been lovingly resurrected to its former charm and functionality with crown molding highlighting the 9ft ceilings. The wide foyer opens to three large bedrooms, each with its own original fireplace mantle, large windows and Hunter ceiling fans. One bedroom is established as a suite with a separate full bathroom. Continuing through the house takes you to where the original two structures were connected nearly 100 years ago. This portion has been completely replaced and updated with a large modern bathroom and plenty of dining space under recessed lighting. Moving to the large parlor you will see the original wainscoting ceiling and plenty of light through the oversize windows. The large kitchen has been completely renovated with lots of new hardwood cabinet space, new countertops, range, and dishwasher. A separate and matching laundry room sits off the kitchen for easy workflow.
Beautiful 5'' wide engineered oak wood flooring has been added throughout the house, except in bathrooms that have vinyl flooring. Additional insulation has been added to the attic space to maximize the efficiency of four brand new 'mini-split' heat and air conditioning systems throughout the house, allowing each occupant to set their own comfort level.
Stepping outside, the first impression is of the ancient stately oak and magnolia trees providing ample shade to the home. The large historical outbuilding is still functional for all of the tools you may need to use in the ample garden plot. Wild muscadine grape vines provide privacy and the best fruit – if you can beat the birds to them!
