There's nothing else quite like it on the street and that's exactly the point. From the moment you pull up to 109 Bella Vista Drive, it's clear this isn't your standard ranch or split-level. The architecture here is its own thing. It's the sort of place that makes people slow down when they drive by.

Framed by towering mature trees, the exterior has a quiet, settled confidence to it that offers a perfect back drop for enjoying warm summer evenings.

Step inside and the open floor plan opens right up, with warm hardwood floors and large windows allows the natural light to pour in. Soaring ceilings in the the primary and guest bedrooms add to the architecture of this home.

Out back, the large detached garage and workshop is a serious bonus. Whether you're a hobbyist, a woodworker, someone who just needs real storage, or a buyer who works with their hands, this space will not disappoint. It's the kind of extra that puts this property in a different category entirely.

The good news keeps coming: a brand-new roof was just installed, meaning one of the biggest potential headaches of homeownership is already off your plate before you unpack a single box.

The neighborhood itself is one many dream of, the kind where people put down roots and stay. And as a bonus, residents have the option to buy into a community beach access for a nominal annual fee, giving you a place to launch a kayak, watch the sunset over the water, or simply enjoy the best of what Eastern North Carolina living is all about. It's optional, but once you see it, you'll want in.

Minutes from Historic Downtown Edenton, the bay, the marina, and some of the most charming streets in the state, this home is the rare combination of unique character, water access and that garage.
