In love with that beautiful staircase! This is a little over an hour to Nags Head in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The Latham Ward Hampton House was built in 1869. It is located on .30 acre in Plymouth, North Carolina. The house features a covered front porch, wood floors, wide baseboards, crystal chandelier, built-in bookshelves and a grand staircase. I wish there were more pictures, but what they show is nice. Three bedrooms, three bathrooms and 2,459 square feet. $259,900
