A rare opportunity to restore a grand waterfront residence in the heart of Onancock! The original portion of this historic home dates to the 1800s, offering remarkable character and approximately 4,141 square feet of living space. Inside, you will find magnificent moldings, original architectural details, spacious rooms, wood floors, and five fireplaces throughout the home with one exterior on the deck. The flexible floor plan includes five or more bedrooms, with additional unfinished space on the third floor and above the attached garage providing possibilities for future bedrooms, a studio, home office, or recreation space. Outdoor features include a large deck with an exterior fireplace, a fenced yard, and frontage on picturesque Onancock Creek.
