This is a unique property with history and character dating back to prohibition and the birth of the speak easy. Co-Owner of the Killingworth Cafe gained much publicity in 2018 upon their 25th year anniversary, the same year Killingworth Town turned 350 as she put up a sign near the Rt 81 Rotary in Red & White that read "Millions of Calories Served". The property not only was a home and a bed & breakfast, Violissi states, "it was a church parsonage, general store, and past post office".

Co-Owner of the Killingworth Cafe gained much publicity in 2018 upon their 25th year anniversary, the same year Killingworth Town turned 350 as she put up a sign near the Rt 81 Rotary in Red & White that read "Millions of Calories Served". The property not only was a home and a bed & breakfast, Violissi states, "it was a church parsonage, general store, and past post office". The Cafe was a super success for decades serving home cooking culinary dishes & "Cheers-like" cocktails. In 2019, the owners retired to move out of the state with fond memories of operating this town pub. The two owners were living in the residence attached and enjoyed decades on the property, deck, and 2.2 acre yard. The colonial house has 7 bedrooms, 3 baths with 3,797 SF of living area. The restaurant will have to be renovated in the kitchen area with a new compliant hood, however the original bar and back wood bar is intact and the original tables are in place with vintage decor. The residential house has many windows throughout to let the light in. The rooms are enhanced with antiques, window treatments, bureaus, beds, fixtures and restaurant furnishings. The opportunity for this property is extensive. If you would prefer to transform this to a residence only and use the restaurant cafe to entertain, you will have plenty of parking for your friends.
