Property Description

Step into history with the majestic Charles F. Warren House, a stately example of Greek Revival architecture and one of the few grand-scale antebellum estates remaining in Washington, North Carolina's charming historic district. This remarkable residence features soaring 11+ ft ceilings, expansive windows that flood the home with natural light, and intricate 9-piece molding that modern construction simply can't replicate. Upon entering, the traditional four-square layout with central hall provides a seamless flow for entertaining, offering ample space for guests to gather around one of the home's eight fireplaces with rare black/gold Nero Portoro marble mantels, as well as ornately carved English Oak surrounds, true masterpieces of craftsmanship. While the Charles F. Warren House is rich in history, it also offers modern amenities to enhance your lifestyle. The kitchen, originally added in 1920, has been thoughtfully updated with French Vanilla marble countertops and new stainless steel appliances (2023). The entire house underwent a comprehensive electrical system re-wire and update in 2024, ensuring safety and comfort, along with new gas logs in the living room and den, and refinished floors throughout (2023). Ascend the grand staircase to three spacious upstairs bedrooms, including a primary suite with an attached sitting room and a luxurious en suite bathroom featuring marble tile and a walk-in shower. Outside, the backyard has been fully fenced (2023), while the newly installed irrigation system (2024) makes garden maintenance a breeze. Copper gutters (2023) complement the ornate trim on the home's exterior. An easy walk to downtown shops, restaurants, and the Washington waterfront. This rare gem combines the elegance of a bygone era with modern-day conveniences, offering you the perfect canvas to craft your own chapter in history of refined living!
