Historic Waterfront Retreat in Downtown Hertford. Step into history & luxury with this breathtaking waterfront estate, perfectly nestled in the heart of downtown Hertford. Spanning over an acre of pristine riverfront property, this historic gem offers unparalleled views & direct access to the Perquimans River. A private bulkhead, pier & boat lift make this a dream for boating enthusiasts, while the sprawling backyard and grand porch set the stage for unforgettable gatherings. Steeped in rich history, the Wood-McCallum-Winslow House has stood the test of time as one of Perquimans County's oldest continually occupied residences. Imagine sharing stories with guests about the 1862 cannonball strike by General Ambrose Everette Burnside—an enduring mark of the past that adds charm and character to this remarkable home. Surrounded by mature gardens, this property offers natural beauty year-round. The enchanting front garden fishpond is a perfect picture spot for creating cherished memories. You will be captivated by the early 19th-century architecture, featuring a grand two-story double-pile design with double hip-roof. A striking Federal-style entrance & an original black-and-white checkerboard-patterned stenciled floor in the central hall—a true showstopper. Designed for entertaining, the main level boasts a formal dining room, elegant front and back parlors, a spacious game room with a wet bar & two half baths. Upstairs, four well-appointed bedrooms & two-and-a-half baths provide comfortable accommodations, while a second-floor balcony offers a tranquil spot to sip morning coffee while taking in breathtaking river views. A full staircase leads to the expansive third floor, currently used for storage but brimming with potential for additional living quarters. This is a rare opportunity to own a storied piece of history with modern comforts & stunning waterfront living. Don't miss your chance to make this extraordinary home yours!
