206 Mulberry Hill Lane, Edenton, NC 27932

Set on 1.71 acres along the Albemarle Sound, 206 Mulberry Hill Lane is one of those rare properties where the house, history and setting are all equally special. Known as Somerville, the historic Gamble residence was moved from neighboring Perquimans County to the grounds of Mulberry Hill in 2004 and thoughtfully renovated while preserving much of what makes the house so special. Original wood floors, raised paneling and distinctive millwork remain, giving the home incomparable authentic character that simply cannot be recreated in new construction. Formal living and dining rooms are joined by a comfortable great room with fireplace, while three upstairs bedrooms provide private quarters. The house works beautifully as a full-time home, weekend escape or gathering place for family and friends. Outside, mature grounds and 1.71 acres provide privacy and wide views across the Albemarle Sound, while the property also enjoys a setting along the golf course at Chowan Golf & Country Club. It is a property that feels substantial without being overwhelming and historic without feeling irrelevant to modern living. For the buyer looking for something beyond the ordinary, Somerville offers a combination increasingly difficult to find -- meaningful history, beautiful waterfront, and room to breathe in an exquisite setting.
