April 28, 2026

Wow! This is like a secret garden! In love with almost everything about this house! The home was built in 1929. It is located on .34 acre in Gerton, North Carolina. This was a town I had to look up, never heard of it. The house features beautifully curated perennial gardens, a greenhouse, patios, stone walkways, original wood floors, a covered front porch, bead board, back deck, knotty pine, built-in bookshelves and a stone shower. The only thing I am not to keen on is the stone shower. But this is a great house! Three bedrooms, three bathrooms and 1,256 square feet. $435,000
