The Moss House Bed & Breakfast

129 Van Norden St
Washington, NC 27889-4846
United States of America

(252) 975-3967
 

Circa 1902. High ceilings and heart pine floors impart a light and airy ambiance to this Victorian home that is steeped in family history and filled with heirlooms and original artwork. Fresh flowers and greenery cut from the gardens are thoughtful details in the elegant guest bedrooms. A satisfying Southern gourmet breakfast is served. Listed in the National Register and located in the historic district at the start of the self-guided walking tour, it is also one block from the Pamlico River, and a short walk to downtown shops, restaurants and a sailboat marina.

Historic Interest

The inn was built in 1902 by Frank Adams Moss and Mary Bonner Moss, local lumbermill owners. The carved mantles, each unique in design, were milled especially for the house, and three of the four guestrooms feature the original mantles, with original tiles. The house is now listed on the National Historic Register as part of the historic district.
