Only four blocks from the waterfront in historic Edenton, the Simpson-Bembry House was remodeled for rental purposes and is currently habitable. Built in 1910, the Colonial Revival-style home is on a deep lot which will allow for potential expansion of the house and/or additions of a screen porch, patio and/or garage. Many original elements remain including paneled doors, door and window surrounds, beadboard, wood flooring, and some original 2-over-2 windows.

The Bembry Store adjacent to the house would be ideal for a home office, studio, or guest room. The one-room building is a rare example of a neighborhood grocery store and is approximately 192 square feet. Exterior features include a front parapet gable, double-leaf entrance, and original 6-over-6 windows covered by a shed roof. The intact beadboard interior is complete with display cases. The home has public water, sewer, and electricity but will require updating in accordance with the intended use. A contributing structure in the Edenton Historic District, the property is eligible for historic rehabilitation tax credits.

Located on Albemarle Sound's Edenton Bay this charming village, established in 1712, features nearly three centuries of outstanding architecture behind tree-lined sidewalks and along waterfront vistas. Jacobean, Georgian, Federal, Greek Revival, and Victorian examples make this town a natural for its two National Historic Landmarks and numerous listings on the National Register of Historic Places.
