OMG! I want this house! Originally built to house railroad workers and animals during the railway expansion. I really want that little sink in one of the rooms! The Wray Family Villa was built in 1890. It is located on 3.5 acres in Burnsville, North Carolina. That is a nice area in the North Carolina mountains, but that sure is a hefty price tag. The Wray Villa features a large wrap around front porch, original hardwood floors, wainscoting, bead board ceilings, original mantels, solid wood doors and a claw foot tub. I sure hope the person that buys this doesn’t paint that woodwork! What a treasure the Wray Villa is! Ten bedrooms, two bathrooms and 3,876 square feet. $525,000
