Historic Nags Head Cottage up for Sale
Februray 1, 2008
Long before the Outer Banks became the booming tourist attraction that it is today, wealthy families flocked to the tranquil, undisturbed resort community of Nags Head for fresh air, rest and relaxation. The then undiscovered beach getaway had only 13 homes built between the end of the Civil War and the onset of World War II.
While the area is much more developed these days, the original 13 homes still stand strong as a reminder of the old Nags Head charm; and one of the homes–The Davis Cottage is–now listed for sale by Resort Realty, one of the Outer Banks' most innovative and dynamic rental companies of luxury vacations homes.
The Davis Cottage is located on the Historic Cottage Row, which lines the oceanfront east of Jockey's Ridge. State historians say the line of homes make up one of the few turn-of-the-century resort areas remaining on the Eastern Seaboard that has maintained its original character.
The 3,000 square-foot home has original hardwood floors and a unique wrap around covered porch with built in wooden benches that are characteristic of the time period. The home also features a guest house, all of which sit on the unusually wide 75 foot oceanfront lot.
"The previous three owners of this home were good stewards," said Michael Harrington, general manager of Resort Realty. "A few modern conveniences have been added, but the historic integrity remains, contributing to the charm and enhancing the value."
For more information about the Davis Cottage contact Dick or Linda Harper at (252) 441-7165 or (800) 268-0152.
