This could be so cute! Love the arched doorways and the details on the mantel. Built in 1930 in the waterfront town of Washington, North Carolina. Built for Henry Clay Carter and his wife, Marjorie. Historically this was used as a residence. Located beside the library and surrounded by public parking. Would make a great business location. 1,852 square feet. $70,000
From the Preservation North Carolina listing:
The Henry Clay Carter House, a brick veneer Tudor-style cottage, was built for Henry Clay Carter III and wife Marjorie in 1930. Carter was born in New York City in 1897, the son of Henry Walton and Lulu Alice Rawls Carter. His father was a physician and by 1910, the family had moved back to Washington, NC where Henry Walton Carter continued his medical practice. Henry Clay Carter III married Marjorie Hoyt, daughter of John K. Hoyt, owner of J. K Hoyt Department Store, the town’s leading clothier. The Carter House features many of its original details, including hardwood floors throughout, six over one windows, original doors, and an arched alcove under the stairs. An entry nook opens into the center hall and stairwell with curved balustrade. French double doors lead to the living room, while a single panel door leads into the kitchen.
