Historical guest house featured on HGTV's Beachfront Bargain Hunt Renovation!

This charming guest house sits behind a historical home in downtown Morehead City, NC. The main home was built on Shackleford Banks in 1885 and moved to its current location in 1901 by sail skiffs. The guest house was built between the 1920's and 1930's for the second owner of the main house's son. The property sits 2.5 blocks from a sandy public access to the intra coastal waterway!

In the summer of 2017, the home was featured to be a part of the Home and Garden Television show called, Beachfront Bargain Hunt Renovation. Filming began in the fall of 2017 and the guest house was featured as well! The show aired on May 5th, 2018 on HGTV from 10pm to 11pm. You can find the show by downloading HGTV app and searching for Beachfront Bargain Hunt Renovation, Episode 308, titled “North Carolina Renewal.”
