Why this home stands out
New construction in a walkable historic town is a rare combination, and 123 Bridgetowne Ave delivers exactly that. Built in 2026, this three-bedroom home puts you within half a mile of waterfront parks, local coffee shops, farm-fresh produce, and a dining scene that punches well above its size — all without the maintenance surprises that come with older Edenton stock. Colonial Village keeps things approachable in scale while the town around it keeps things genuinely interesting.
COLONIAL VILLAGE and the Edenton real estate market
Colonial Village sits inside the city of Edenton, one of the oldest and most intact colonial-era towns in North Carolina. The streets here are lined with 18th- and 19th-century architecture, mature trees, and a genuine small-town rhythm that's increasingly hard to find. Edenton wraps around the southern shore of Edenton Bay, and the waterfront is a real community asset — not just a backdrop. Chowan County's seat has a working downtown with locally owned restaurants, boutiques, and cultural institutions that draw visitors from across the region. For a town of its size, the amenity density is remarkable: farmers markets, fitness studios, yoga, coffee roasters, and waterfront parks all within a short walk of Bridgetowne Ave. Life here moves at a pace that's deliberate without being sleepy, and the sense of place is something that newer suburban developments simply can't replicate.
