((would you live there ? also is it creepy?)) Martinique, Edmonton north Carolina $80,000. Circa 1750s This classic two-story coastal cottage home was handed down through the same family for seven generations. A house of this age and distinction rarely become becomes available for restoration. The core of the home was built in the 18th century, possibly as early as the 1750s, for John Wallace on the land grant he received in 1752. Early features include double-shoulder chimneys, beaded weatherboards, and some Georgian woodwork. The engaged, two-tier front porch, a traditional feature of coastal North Carolina, also dates from the mid-19th century.One outbuilding, a doctor’s office, is intact; three others (including a smokehouse) have been dismantled and carefully stored for the future rebuilding.Only the structure is for sale however. Owned by the Edenton Historical Commission, the house has been moved to a temporary location near its original site. It must be moved again to a new setting and will require a complete rehabilitation. Two possibilities for re-siting home are available on Dillard’s Mill Road, on land that was originally Winborne property. Each of the lots is 1–2 acres. Lot 1: $30,000/acre, road front; or Lot 2: $100,000/acre, on millpond. Property prices are in addition to house-moving costs.
