112 Blount St

Standing proudly in Edenton’s historic district, 112 Blount Street — the John Meredith Jones House — is a 1927 Colonial Revival that blends original character with thoughtful updates. The three-bedroom, two-bath residence spans nearly 3,000 square feet and rewards visitors with water glimpses across Edenton Bay and expansive sunset skies that define coastal living here. Newly refinished hardwood floors anchor the downstairs rooms and handsome hardwood continues through much of the home, underscoring the craftsmanship of the early 20th century.

A gracious main floor layout includes well-proportioned public rooms that retain period detail alongside practical modern systems (the home has A/C). One of the property’s most distinctive assets is a private downstairs room with its own exterior entrance, adjacent bath, and separate staircase—an ideal configuration for an in-law suite, guest quarters, or an income-producing rental while preserving privacy for the rest of the household. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a full bath speak to comfortable family living, while the third-floor attic presents genuine potential for finishing into a bonus room, studio, or home office.

Outside, the backyard is fully fenced and easy to maintain, with a gardening shed that will please anyone with a green thumb. The lot is intimate and functional—designed for small gatherings, container gardens, and a safe play area. The setting is exceptionally walkable; galleries, shops and dining are within a short stroll, and Edenton’s compact, golf-cart-friendly streets make everyday errands and weekend outings genuinely easy.

This house is for a buyer who values authenticity and flexibility: preserved architectural details and hardwoods, plus rooms that can adapt as needs evolve. With a list price aligned to local valuation estimates and visible bay views, 112 Blount Street offers a rare combination of historic presence and practical modern possibilities in one of North Carolina’s most charming waterfront towns.
