1108 Summit Avenue, Washington, NC 27889

A charming 1940's Tudor Revival brick ranch nestled in a quiet pocket off Market St. offers a rare blend of architectural character and exceptional location! An iconic turret on the front of the house sets the storybook tone with arched doorway featuring a limestone quoin surround, inside you'll find an entryway with storage closet that leads into a graciously sized living room with beautiful original hardwood floors, light spilling in from large windows, and a gas fireplace. Off this room is a screened in porch with broken tile floor inviting slow mornings with coffee while you enjoy listening to the birds chirping and the bells of the nearby churches chiming the hours. A formal dining room with gorgeous wainscoting and a less formal breakfast room/office with built-in shelves make you feel like there is a place for everything and everything in its place. The kitchen features a SS refrigerator and the original Youngstown enameled steel sink with integrated double drainboards and a double bowl basin. Down the hall is a bathroom with original tile work, and two nicely appointed bedrooms with the primary bedroom and en suite bath at the end of the hall. Throughout the home thoughtful details reflect its heritage, including a telephone nook, original etched brass switch plates, and solid brass door handles with crystal door knobs. The side door leads out to an enclosed storage area which was a converted garage space, while adjacent a single car garage still remains, in the back of these two spaces is a laundry area that leads out to the back yard where Japanese maples and azaleas provide seasonal color across the expansive half-acre-plus lot, offering endless possibilities for outdoor living and gardening. The attic boasts tons of storage space that could add potential for future expansion, subject to architectural and engineering considerations. A standout feature is the fully cedar-lined attic closet, originally designed for the seasonal storage of woolens, furs, and household linens. The craftsmanship in this house is undeniable, it speaks to an era where things were built for permanence not just for the least amount of money. Updates have been done where it counts, the windows are modern from the last decade and the AC unit was replaced in 2025. This location truly offers the best of both worlds, walkable to downtown Washington's charming local shops, restaurants, and waterfront attractions, while remaining conveniently close to medical facilities and everyday shopping. Just minutes from the river and all it has to offer, you'll enjoy easy access to recreation, dining, and community events, all while coming home to the comfort and feel of an established neighborhood. Historic without feeling formal, and rich with character while offering room for personalization, this distinctive Tudor Revival ranch is ready for its next chapter with owners who appreciate a home that truly stands apart from the ordinary!
