Description
This charming 1893 residence, known as The Rumley House, is located in the heart of Historic Downtown Washington. Offering four bedrooms and two full baths, the home blends classic architectural details with a series of thoughtful updates completed over the past decade. Improvements include metal roofs on both the main house and detached garage, updated HVAC systems, added insulation in the attic and crawlspace, and renovated spaces such as the mudroom, pantry, laundry room, and both bathrooms. The plumbing has been updated from the meter inward, and electrical improvements include updated wiring and new panels in both the house and garage. The foundation has been reinforced within the original footprint, providing both stability and preservation. A new water heater was also installed in the main home in 2022. In 2023, a full bath, HVAC system, and water heater were added to the detached two-story garage, creating a flexible 704 sq ft space that may suit use as a guesthouse, home office, or short-term rental–(note that this additional space is not included in the reported total square footage). With a fenced backyard and a location just blocks from the Pamlico River, downtown shops, and restaurants, this historic property offers timeless appeal and modern comfort in one of Washington’s most walkable and inviting neighborhoods.
