From the Zillow listing:
Welcome to the James Brooks Home. If you’ve always dreamed of owning a piece of history, this is it! This property is the quintessential farmhouse, with it’s center hall plan flanked by large rooms on each side and a large front porch, perfect for rocking chairs and a swing. The main living area includes a large living room, formal dining room, kitchen and a parlor with an attached full bath, which is currently being used as the master suite. Upstairs, there are four additional bedrooms and another full bath. Most of the flooring in the home is original heart pine. A large screened porch spans the rear of the home and overlooks neighboring pasture land. On the property, you’ll find several outbuildings including a large multistory, multipurpose barn constructed of slow growth heart pine, which is original to the property and believed to have been the original homesite prior to the main home’s construction. There’s also a garden shed and what is believed to be the original early plank constructed smokehouse. The home sits on a 1.4 acre parcel of land. An adjacent 2.57 acre parcel (Pitt Count Tax Parcel 20326) is also included with the sale of the home. The property even has potential to be an amazing event venue. The possibilities are endless.
