639 E Main Street

Welcome to the Latham House! This beautifully preserved 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom brick home, built in 1940, is located in the picturesque waterfront town of Belhaven, North Carolina. Nestled just a short distance from the Pungo River, local restaurants, and charming shops, this historic gem combines timeless character with modern updates. Spacious living areas include a large living-room, formal dining, roomy bedrooms, including a main-floor primary bedroom, a sunroom, and a large screened-in front porch, perfect for enjoying the views and coastal breezes.
Modern comforts, which offer contemporary touches while preserving original features, include updated HVAC systems (downstairs replaced in 2024, upstairs replaced ~10 years ago), a new roof in 2012, and custom double-paned windows throughout the main house, enhancing energy efficiency and comfort.
The preservation of this home has been incredibly thoughtful and intentional. Although it has never flooded, it has been raised out of the flood zone, with its new foundation/crawl-space meticulously built to match the home's original exterior, eliminating the need for flood insurance.
In addition to the spacious finished areas of the home, Latham House also offers an incredibly large attic that would be easy to finish, as well as a one-car garage with additional storage/work space on the side.
This property provides an ideal balance of comfort and character that you have to see to believe! Schedule a private showing today!
