About 221 E Water Street
Luxury downtown living without the historic home maintenance! Perfectly positioned in the heart of Historic Edenton, this impeccably remodeled waterview custom home offers the best of both worlds--an unbeatable location with modern construction and top-tier finishes. Wake up to picturesque views of Queen Anne's Creek as it flows into Edenton Bay, then walk your kayak across the street to the town's public launch or take a stroll into downtown's shops, dining, galleries, and waterfront. Hayes Farm's public beach is just over the wooden bridge. Completely redesigned just six years ago with exceptional craftsmanship, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home showcases premium materials throughout, including stunning marble showers, custom built-ins, abundant storage, a chef's kitchen with extensive cabinetry and an appliance garage, and thoughtful details at every turn. One bedroom features a private exterior entrance and ensuite bath, making it ideal for guests, an in-law suite, or income-producing rental potential. A spacious garage--an uncommon luxury in the Historic District--completes this exceptional property.
