110 Front Street, Hertford

A rare opportunity to own one of Northeastern North Carolina's most treasured waterfront residences. Situated on over an acre along the Perquimans River, the historic Wood-McCallum-Winslow House offers an extraordinary blend of timeless architecture, rich history, and an unparalleled waterfront lifestyle in the heart of downtown Hertford. From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by sweeping river views, mature gardens, and the unmistakable presence of a home that has stood gracefully for generations. The expansive waterfront setting is designed for both relaxation and recreation, featuring a private bulkhead, pier, and boat lift, providing direct access to the Perquimans River. Whether enjoying a peaceful morning coffee overlooking the water, hosting family gatherings on the spacious porch, or setting off for a day on the river, every day feels like a retreat. Believed to be one of Perquimans County's oldest continuously occupied homes, this remarkable property is rich in history and character. A visible cannonball strike from General Ambrose Burnside's 1862 campaign serves as a fascinating reminder of the home's storied past and offers a conversation piece unlike any other. Inside, historic charm and craftsmanship are on full display. The grand central hall welcomes guests with its original black-and-white checkerboard stenciled floor, while elegant parlors, soaring ceilings, and impressive architectural details reflect the quality and artistry of a bygone era. The home's striking two-story double-pile design, double hip roof, and Federal-style entrance create a commanding presence rarely found in today's homes. Designed for entertaining, the main level offers a formal dining room, front and rear parlors, a spacious game room with wet bar, and two half baths. Upstairs, four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths provide comfortable accommodations, while the second-floor balcony offers breathtaking river views and the perfect spot to unwind at the end of the day. A full staircase leads to the expansive third floor, currently used for storage but offering incredible potential for additional living space. Combining historical significance, stunning waterfront amenities, and a prime downtown location, this is more than a home, it's a legacy property waiting for its next steward.
