Looks like a castle! Looks like work was started on this house. Almost 5,000 square feet. The Napoleon Bonaparte McCanless House was built in 1896. It is located on .96 acres in Salisbury, North Carolina. This home has a lot of potential and all of that stonework on the exterior is pretty amazing. But I kind of feel like they are asking a bit too much for this considering the amount of work and it looks to be across from commercial space. Love the mansard roof with slate shingles. There are hardwood floors in some rooms, curved walls, and amazing mantels. Some of the rooms have been gutted. This home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Seven bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 4,898 square feet. $225,000
