What's around 522 1st Street

About this property

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 Cafe and Bakery as well as Fryday Nite Fish, two of Ayden's local treasures. The downstairs storefront below the magnificent living space is now vacant, ready for your own business or rental income opportunity. 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.
