This home is woven into the fabric of Roanoke Island's history since 1863. It has withstood whatever was thrown its way beginning with the Civil War. It is a blend of old and new from then until now. It's just awaiting your own personal stamp to join all the others before you. There is even a barn on the property that was once a carriage house for visiting neighbors and friends. We were told the carriage house was civil war era. The Cozy Cottage is tucked away in Skyco and provides privacy yet just a short drive to schools, shopping, restaurants, downtown Manteo, & the beaches. This home is a great option for a starter home or small family. The outside space offers plenty of room to enjoy gardening or room for kids to play. There is a large sun deck off the kitchen that is great for entertaining and grilling out. Inside you will find a living area with a small reading nook. The kitchen and dining areas are spacious and have access to another small deck off the back of the home. One guest bedroom that is currently being used as an office is on the first floor with an ensuite bathroom and the washer and dryer. The other two bedrooms and full bathroom are located upstairs. The seller believes the house was elevated in 2012 at which time it was remodeled with updated wiring, plumbing, insulation, and hvac. He was also told the roof was replaced in 2020. Schedule a time to admire the history of the home with the modern day updates.
