About this House

What if you could own a piece of American history... with a cannonball still lodged in the front of it--and incredible water views stretching across the Pamlico River?

Welcome to the Brickle-Myers House (c.1780) -- the oldest surviving home in Washington, and one of the most remarkable historic properties in the country. This is not just a home--it's a story that has stood the test of time.

Set on an oversized waterview lot (not in a flood zone), this three-story residence offers approximately 3686 sq ft with five rooms that can serve as bedrooms and four full baths. A first-floor bedroom adds flexibility, while upper levels provide space for family, guests, or creative use.

Inside, history surrounds you--from the library floors crafted from rare 20-foot single planks to the preserved architectural details that simply cannot be replicated today. The interior was last updated in the 1980s, offering the opportunity to thoughtfully enhance modern comforts while honoring its extraordinary character.

Step outside and take in the expansive water views of the Pamlico River, where boats drift by and sunsets light up the sky. The original repointed brick smokehouse (2020) stands as one of the finest surviving examples of its kind, while a new cedar shake roof (2020) protects both the main home and dependency. A transferable termite warranty adds peace of mind.

Located directly across from Festival Park, this is lifestyle living at its finest--morning walks along the waterfront, evenings filled with dining and music downtown, and a vibrant riverfront community rich in history and charm.

This home has witnessed the founding of Washington, the Civil War, and generations of life along the water. From hidden artifacts to stories yet to be uncovered, it's a place that invites curiosity and rewards preservation.

    "This is the only community on the Pamlico River in which every property automatically includes its own private baot slip in our on-site marina. Other communities charge thousands of dollars extra to buy or lease a boat slip. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, wooded and peaceful. You can enjoy many different social activities, or not, depepnding on your preferences. Pool, tennis, marina, walking and jogging on site. A great place to live."
