About This Home

Recognize this one? I'll bet you do! It was featured on Mr. Beast's ''You Build It, I'll Buy It'' competition, and now this small-town winner in the heart of Ayden can be yours! Built in 1921 and fully remodeled over the last three years, this 3 bedroom home got the works: new kitchen counters and appliances, updated baths, new flooring, fresh paint, all of it, while keeping the character only a hundred-year-old house can offer. Start the day on the covered front porch with a cup of coffee before heading inside to a bright living room. The front bedroom sits just off to the left, and with an original glass pane door from the 1921 build. It makes a great office! Down the hall you'll find the other two bedrooms, including the primary, plus a guest bath right where you need it. The kitchen flows into the dining area, so whoever's cooking is never cut off from the conversation. You have plenty of backyard for a garden or a cookout without spending your whole Saturday on the mower, and the one car garage with a manual door keeps your tools, equipment and car out of the weather. You can walk to the park, the library, the post office, and downtown Ayden, where some of the most well-known barbecue in eastern North Carolina is smoking most days, and Greenville is a short drive when you need it. All financing types welcome, including USDA, and the home sits outside the flood zone. There's a spot near the front bedroom where the flooring is a bit unlevel. It's solid underfoot and no issues have been found stemming from it. Old houses have quirks, and this one wears its own well. The crawlspace vapor barrier is in good shape and there are no known pest issues. Book your showing before somebody else beats you to that porch!
