28 Fig Tree Lane

Description

Registered on the National Registry of Historic Homes, an Ocracoke gem! Old Ocracoke at its finest! Located on a small unpaved lane, the Tom Frank Gaskins home was built in 1883. The cedar shake exterior and gracious screened porch add to the historic charm. The interior has tongue and groove juniper walls and ceilings, beautiful wood floors, a large open kitchen and dining area with a farmhouse sink, school house pendant lighting, juniper cabinets, built-in linen closet, relaxing living room and first floor bedroom and bath. The beautiful juniper wood continues upstairs in 2 open sleeping spaces with a double closet and a bath with an antique pedestal sink and claw foot tub. A classic barn door at the top of the stairs adds privacy and elegance. In 2022, the Tom Frank Gaskins home was elevated and a new piling foundation. Additional upgrades include Anderson windows, 4 new minisplits in 2024, sun deck, exterior cedar shakes, insulation, plumbing (underneath), paver parking pad under the home and an outdoor shower. The Tom Frank House is currently a proven vacation rental but could easily transition into a primary or second home. Sold furnished with a great mix of old and new!
