Built in 1915 as a masonic hall and recently featured in the New York Times, this extraordinary property has stood as a landmark in Ayden for over a century. With original stamped tin ceilings that will take your breath away in the afternoon light and heart pine floors rich with history, the home blends old-world craftsmanship with modern comfort. The custom cherry and quartzite kitchen is a warm and inviting gathering space, while the versatile layout offers a private bedroom suite with its own entrance from the landing — ideal for guests, extended family, or an Airbnb retreat. A chairlift provides access for all to enjoy one floor living upstairs. Step outside to a spacious backyard outfitted with two EV chargers, perfect for the modern lifestyle. And when you want a taste of the neighborhood, you're directly across the street from Gwendy's Goodies and Fryday Nite Fish, two of Ayden's local treasures. The downstairs storefront is currently rented to a great tenant who will stay. All this, just minutes from East Carolina University and ECU Health Medical Center, makes 522 First Street more than a home — it's a place where history, community, and modern living come together. Ready to welcome its next chapter, this one-of-a-kind property is as unique as the life you'll create here.
