Federal style home in a quaint waterfront town along the ICW. Formerly, the Belhaven Water Street Bed & Breakfast for 17 years (featured in NC's Our State Magazine)closed its doors in 2020. This home has freshly painted interior walls except the office & all the amenities for a perfect private home(which it has been for the past 4 years),a small business, vacation rental, or B&B. The front entrance features a stately front door w/side lights, an open arm stairway, & a handicap friendly ramp surrounding a Japanese Maple tree courtyard. The bright & relaxing living room features a custom gas fireplace, hardwood floors, built-in bookcases & open railed staircase to 2nd floor. An eat-in kitchen has ceramic tiled floor, walk-in pantry, & stainless steel appliances leading to a deck & backyard w/Confederate Jasmin, gardenia & blueberry bushes, & a mature fig tree(great for jams or figs straight from the tree). A formal dining room w/beadboard walls & chair-rail adjoins the Butler's pantry w/Mission style cabinets matching the Kitchen cabinetry. 3 of the 5 bedrooms have unique gas fireplaces & all bedrooms have private bathrooms w/ceramic tiled floors. Most windows feature inside half-window retractable shutters. The living room, 3 bedrooms, & front porch have fantastic views of Belhaven Harbor(Pantego Creek)& unbelievable sunsets. The Live Oak tree offers shade along the cobblestone walkway leading to the driveway. Belhaven is growing yet keeping its natural friendliness & hospitality! As you relax on the front porch, you'll wave or take a minute to chat w/friends as they walk by & you'll see boats cruising through Belhaven Harbor. In the near future, a new waterfront development of single-family homes will begin construction located near downtown(about 3 blocks away).Launch your boat at the state operated boat ramp within walking distance. Meet traveling boaters at Belhaven's Town Dock & enjoy downtown's very active festivities, unique shops & delicious restaurants.
