Property Features and Assets:

<p>The owners are originally from New York City and were looking for a waterfront second home in North Carolina and found that home near Washington, NC. With an entrepreneurial background and keen understanding of what fuels small town growth, they purchased the four-story historical building in downtown Washington in 2011. Renovation quickly began but took considerable time as they collaborated with the historical preservation committee to ensure renovations kept the historic character of the building in tact. The restaurant opened in 2021 and was originally led by a Parisian chef who initially aimed for fine dining, but the owners quickly pivoted to high-quality, but more affordable cuisine. The goal was to offer international flavors accessible to everyone, appealing to a broader audience. In xxx, the owners embarked on adding a boutique hotel to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors of the building.
