Front Street, this home is offered completely furnished and turnkey—allowing you to step directly into a curated historic lifestyle with absolutely no moving hassle or extra furniture expenses.A classic, sweeping Southern wrap-around porch introduces the home, framed by mature landscaping and a sprawling yard.

Five magnificent original fireplaces and hand-carved historic mantels serve as stunning focal points throughout the home.The fully renovated chef's kitchen perfectly anchors modern utility with artistic design, showcasing hand-laid Italian marble tile countertops, a shimmering mother-of-pearl backsplash, a built-in pot filler, and a deep stainless steel sink with premium chrome fixtures.

Its ensuite bathroom is a true design marvel, featuring an artistic mosaic rendering of the "Sun, Moon, and Tides" crafted from white Carrera Italian marble, brown Spanish Emperador tile, and radiant gold tile accents. The theme is grounded by a point-on-center alternating brown and white tile floor, gold-toned hardware, and a unique vanity beautifully repurposed from a Victorian buffet.Upstairs, two massive bedrooms—each flooded with natural light from four grand windows—share a second bathroom that doubles as a mosaic masterpiece. The entire enclosure of the 1940s cast-iron tub is wrapped in an undulating wave pattern of 1-inch iridescent pool tiles, mother-of-pearl, and gold accents, flanked by Grecian white marble. A vintage washstand vanity features a marble top and a vessel sink, set against classic white penny tile flooring.

What the owner loves about this home
The artistic tile work in the bathrooms and kitchen is fantastic. It is my specialty as an artist. Using brown and white marble, I have constructed a likeness of the sun, moon and tides in the main bathroom, and undulating waves out of iridescent pool tiles in the upper bathroom. The kitchen features Italian marble countertops hand cut and laid in a diamond pattern with mother of pearl tiles in the backsplash. The home is in a small town with low crime yet 45 minutes to a large hospital and local airport, or an hour + to the Raleigh Durham airport and Duke Medical complex.
