Known as the ''Soul of The Outer Banks,'' boasts an extraordinary history. Built in 1913, this property first served as Mattie Midgette's Store, a community general store that even supplied President Franklin D. Roosevelt during his 1927 visit. Later, it became the Beachcomber Museum, curated by Nellie Myrtle Pridgen, housing what was considered ''the greatest modern collection of beach treasures in the world.'' This property is located in the Historic Cottage district of Nags Head but stands apart with its own unique historic designation due to its community contributions. Early Outer Banks developer David Stick once said it was ''next to Jockey's Ridge and the Wright Brothers Memorial, the most historically significant place on the Northern Outer Banks.'' The ground level includes a sitting room, kitchen, storage areas, washroom, half bath, and a 584 sq. ft. storefront that once displayed the Beachcomber Collection. The home is rich with history, featuring a dining table salvaged from the USS Huron, paneling from the former Carolinian Hotel, and one of the first public telephone booths in Nags Head. The second floor features a wooden stairwell leading to an office or bedroom, a full bath with a clawfoot tub, a large main bedroom, and a versatile front room. A large covered porch offers ocean views and a connection to the historic neighborhood. Situated on a 62'x300' C5 zoned commercial lot, this mixed-use property is a unique opportunity for the right buyer. With thousands of visitors drawn to it regularly, it offers potential for businesses looking to continue its legacy or create something new. The second home at the rear provides rebuilding potential, making this property ideal for live-in owners with a business below or employee housing, offering a rare chance to preserve and celebrate the heritage of the Outer Banks. Due to homes age and heat sources, NCREC guidelines require the home to be listed as Non Heated Square Footage. (There are heat sources).
