Property Description

Step back in time without sacrificing modern connectivity at 508 Eaton Avenue, the legendary "Eaton", also known as the historic William T. Alston House in the heart of Warrenton, North Carolina. Built in the 1850s and recognized as the former "Showplace of Warrenton," this remarkable pre-Civil War estate offers a rare opportunity to own one of the region's most significant historic homes. Designed & constructed by renowned builder & architect Jacob W. Holt, the residence showcases timeless Greek Revival & Italianate influences thoughtfully adapted to local tastes. Inside, you'll find generous room sizes, exceptional storage, and the uncommon luxury of two closets in most bedrooms Throughout the home, historic character blends with everyday functionality. The estate encompasses approximately 20 acres, a truly unique offering. The home rests on roughly 11 acres within the town limits, while an additional 8.4 acres outside the town limits is zoned agricultural, allowing for horses, cattle, and other agricultural pursuits. The grounds are equally impressive, featuring towering century-old oaks, magnificent magnolias, English boxwoods, and a picturesque pecan grove. Additional amenities include a greenhouse, multiple outbuildings with concrete floors, two barns, a tack room, extensive storage space, fenced pasture areas, and the privacy rarely found in an in-town location. Entrepreneurs may consider a small boutique winery, specialty gardens of veggies, herbs, flowers or livestock. Ever considered running a wedding/event venue? Whether you're seeking a historic showplace, an equestrian property, or a legacy estate to steward for future generations, this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own "Eaton." Offering $20k concession for upgrades w/acceptable offer.
