Upstairs, the generously sized bedrooms continue the home's timeless appeal with oversized windows, classic millwork, and warm hardwood flooring. One of the standout features of this property is the amount of outdoor space rarely found within city limits. The deep backyard and extended drive area provide room for gatherings, gardening, recreation, additional parking, or future possibilities, all framed by mature trees and established neighborhood charm. The clawfoot soaking tub, original-style staircase, extensive porch space, and preserved architectural details give this home the soul and romance of a classic Carolina residence while still offering the functionality today's buyers desire. Located near downtown Elizabeth City, the waterfront, shopping, dining, and local community amenities, this home places you in one of the most charming and historic areas of Northeastern North Carolina.

Road Street presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Elizabeth City history.
