A One-of-a-Kind Historic Waterfront Retreat on Broad Creek
Step back in time without sacrificing modern comfort in this 1890s coastal farmhouse. It has been completely remodeled to offer all the conveniences of modern amenities while carefully preserving the warmth, character, and soul of a classic historic home. Perfectly positioned directly on Broad Creek in Oriental, NC--the Sailing Capital of North Carolina--this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers an extraordinary blend of authentic historic character, breathtaking coastal scenery, and relaxed waterfront living.
Thoughtfully preserved to maintain its original historic dimensions and footprint, the home showcases timeless craft with warm, light-filled spaces throughout. Classic wraparound porches frame the property, inviting you to catch the year-round coastal breezes and savor seamless indoor-outdoor living.
The main level features a welcoming flow between a spacious living room, a functional kitchen, and an inviting dining space designed for effortless entertaining. Step through the kitchen or living room onto the magnificent screened porch--a true crown jewel of the home offering uninterrupted 200-degree panoramic views across Broad Creek. It is the ultimate backdrop for morning coffee, golden-hour dinners, or watching coastal sunsets over the water.
Built for life on the water, the property comes equipped with a large private dock, a boat lift, and a quaint custom boathouse built to match the historic architectural charm of the main house. The boathouse offers ample storage for kayaks, paddleboards, fishing gear, and dock accessories, keeping everything organized and ready for your next adventure.
After a day on the water, unwind and rinse off under the outdoor shower--a cherished bonus during the warm summer months.
Whether you are seeking a peaceful year-round home, a private weekend getaway, or an authentic piece of North Carolina heritage, this Broad Creek estate delivers a rare combination of location, history, and serene waterfront living.
