This poor house! Needs some life back in it. The Bryan Lavendar House was built in 1825. It is located on .74 acres in Pollocksville, North Carolina. This riverfront home is on the banks of the Trent River. Hurricane Florence flooded this home, but the owners quickly stripped it to the studs where water encroached. It’s ready to be brought back. Those are some beautiful mantels and hardwood floors. The listing says there are six bathrooms, wondering if that is accurate. Three bedrooms, six bathrooms, and 1,673 square feet. $50,000
