From the Preservation North Carolina listing:
Come and enjoy the quaint town of Gatesville, located in northeastern NC, within a short drive to both Hampton Roads VA and the breathtaking Outer Banks!
The Willian R. Cowper House, built in 1908, is a reverse plan of “The Clyde” model of the Sears, Roebuck and Company Catalogue homes. The 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house boasts a hip roof, spacious wrap around porch, screened in back porch, and a first floor primary bedroom.
The house is a combination of the Queen Anne style and Colonial Revival elements. This grand lady is situated on a double lot, and has a one room structure that was originally the office of Mr. William R. Cowper.
With a little TLC, this beauty can be returned to the grandeur that was once the essence of this Main Street property!
