Not kidding when I say this, but this is pretty close to absolute perfection! Even has original paint! The faux baseboards in the one room are original……to 1821! Those mantelpieces! Located on three acres in Stantonsburg, NC. That’s about an hour from Raleigh. Someone has taken great care of this house and made sure everything original was retained. This won’t last long!! Three bedrooms, one bathroom, and 2,012 square feet.
From the Zillow listing:
Step back in time when you enter this restored and updated 1821 farmhouse on 3.15 acres surrounded by farm fields. This Federal period house has exceptional decorative details.
