This home is the finest example of Neo Classical Revival architecture in Pitt County. Home has a large wrap-around front porch, large rooms with high ceilings, crown moulding, chair-rail moulding, stained-glass windows original to the home, chandelier in dining room, pocket doors to parlor and dining room, downstairs master with full bath attached; downstairs dual gas pack heat/air system new in 2016 as well as new roof in 2016 for house/garage/smoke house; half bath downstairs and full bath upstairs renovated within last 3-4 years; closed in back porch to make beautiful sun room; mature pecan trees; scuppernong vine in back; seller is only 2nd owner. So much historical value. There is even the remains of the original carriage house, part of which is now a lovely chicken coop.
