How about that porch! That is something else! There are nine fireplaces in this house! That kitchen sure is underwhelming though. This is known as the Fox-Ingold House. It was built in 1897. The house is located on .37 acre in Hickory, North Carolina. The house features a large wrap around porch, nine fireplaces, wood floors, wainscoting, chair rails, stained glass sidelights at front door, ornate mantels, crown moulding, built-in china cabinet and a pretty staircase. That kitchen feels like a total mismatch. Five bedrooms, four bathrooms and 3,889 square feet. $699,900
