Downstairs: (left) a large parlor, a very large primary bedroom with attached full bath, (right) another large parlor, formal dining room, kitchen, private bedroom and 1/2 bath suite. This back section would make a wonderful in-law suite. A long, wide hall runs behind the foyer to the back of the house. Upstairs: a very wide landing, 2 very large bedrooms and a full hall bath. The four fireplaces give charm and character to each room. A large, private screened porch opens to the deep backyard. One section is fenced for pets while the full yard goes far back with trees and privacy. Two storage buildings offer great space for outdoor tools, a golf cart, gardening supplies, etc. The McDowell House is a contributing building in the Scotland Neck Historic District making it eligible for historic tax credits. A small portion of the window of the home next door, which is vacant, has a slight encroachment on this property.
