The Leonidas L. Polk House, Circa 1830. Six acres in North Carolina. $39,000

January 6, 2021

This would be an amazing project house! Leonidas Polk was founder of the town of Polkton, founder of Progressive Farmer, the first NC Commissioner of Agriculture, President of National Farmers Alliance, and a founder of North Carolina State University and Meredith College. This home was built in 1830. It is located on 5.8 acres in Polkton, North Carolina. The home has original hardwood floors, bead board walls and bead board ceilings. It definitely needs work, but with so much history it would be a shame for this one to be lost. Two bedrooms. $39,000
