About This Home

1208 N Main Street

A timeless historic residence located in Tarboro's Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This exceptional home offers 4 bedrooms, and 2½ baths, with refined architectural details and a thoughtful layout designed for both entertaining and everyday living. Richly refinished original heart-pine floors, high ceilings, detailed molding, crown molding, and original windows with plantation shutters set the tone throughout. Four fireplaces—three with gas logs and one wood-burning—add warmth and character. The gourmet kitchen features an open eat-in design with movable island, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, glass-front display cabinetry, under-counter task lighting and outlets, built-in microwave, generous storage, and striking stained-glass doors. Formal and informal spaces flow beautifully, including a gracious dining room, light-filled sunroom, and custom study with built-ins. Updated bathrooms, walk-in shower, and a laundry room with custom doors (washer and dryer convey) complete the interior. Outside, enjoy mature landscaping, a private fenced courtyard, charming side porch, irrigation system, storage shed, rain gutters, and a well-finished basement with exterior entrance, floored surfaces, lined walls, and drainage system. All major systems (HVAC, hot water heater, roof and dehumidifier in basement) have been updated within the last 5 years. A rare opportunity to own a truly special home where historic character meets thoughtful updates—schedule your private showing today.
