In the heart of North Carolina's oldest town, the Five Oaks House offers a rare glimpse into early American life. Built around 1800 with New England influences, it's Bath's oldest private residence and a contributing structure on the National Register of Historic Places. Its vernacular Federal-style design reflects the craftsmanship of its era.
Key Features:
This rare saltbox-style home in Eastern NC features hand-hewn timber framing and original yellow pine weatherboards. Inside, old-growth pine floors and exposed ceiling beams show off the home's age and quality. Beadboard walls and ceilings from an 1890s remodel highlight thoughtful preservation.
Abundant natural light pours through restored period windows with original wavy glass. A cozy fireplace with a mid-1800s Beaufort County mantle anchors the living room. The home retains six original doors and sections of a beaded partition wall, part of the original interior.
In 2020, the kitchen was renovated with custom Shaker cabinets, a pantry, peg rail, soapstone countertops, a farmhouse sink, and brass fixtures. The floors were salvaged from historic Pantego High School, tying in local history.
The large, tree-lined corner lot offers privacy and space to enjoy Bath's peaceful charm. Artifacts found on-site—including musket parts—add historical intrigue.
From longleaf pine floors likely predating European settlement to faux-marble baseboards in the parlor, this home radiates timeless beauty. The Five Oaks House is a rare opportunity to own a lovingly preserved piece of North Carolina history.
