511 Sir Walter Raleigh Street, Manteo

Great and Rare Opportunity to own in the Historic District of Manteo! The neighborhood is convenient to everything...Downtown(5 minute stroll), banks, restaurants, grocery stores, post office, and much more. It is now home to the historic Pea Island Cookhouse, which was moved to Collins Park in 2006, renovated, and operates as a museum, dedicated to sharing the story of Richard Etheridge, the first African American Keeper of a Life-saving Station, and his Pea Island Crew. There is also a children's playground, Cartwright Park for gatherings, historic Methodist Church Ruins managed by the Town of Manteo, and a Community Center. Located in the center of Manteo, this has been one of the highest and driest areas on the island and has provided an outstanding quality of life. Shaded by 2 100+ year old Crepe Myrtles that bloom a light blueberry/raspberry color, this 4 bedroom/2 bath home boasts an oversized covered front porch with plenty of space to get creative with outdoor seating to while-a-way the hours on a nice Spring/Summer Day and even in the cool of an Autumn Day. Watch the Town of Manteo 4th of July and New Year's Fireworks Show right from the porch. There is a rear sundeck to enjoy that would also make a nice screened-in porch or Florida Room that overlooks a large fenced-in back yard and Lelyland Cypress trees for privacy. Inside, you will find 9' ceilings and crown molding throughout with a good-sized formal living room, spacious eat-in kitchen with a massive number of cabinets, 42-inch uppers, a large 4-seat island, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting that will allow you to control the setting. The kitchen opens to a nice dining space which leads right into the family room replete with a gas fireplace and 60" flat screen TV with built-in Surround Sound...Yes, these Goodies convey! This first floor living home has 3 comfortably sized bedrooms and laundry room at one end of the house and a large master suite on the other end with a bedroom sized ensuite equipped with a double vanity and make-up area, custom shower with grab bars, built in shower seat, dual shower heads, an additional hand held shower head with shower surround that needs only rinsing after use, a mounted 50" flat screen TV and fireplace to enjoy while soaking in the garden tub...What a life, Right? The second story is floored and ready to be finished for an additional 1300SF. The prep for a 2-car garage has also been done and can be attached to the house creating a FROG and allowing for an inside staircase next to the fireplace in the family room. You have to see this home to appreciate it and the possibilities! Purchase your Outer Banks Respite Today!!!
