This house has a unique exterior! Seems like something you would find out at the coastal area of North Carolina. They have a build date of 1945. That is not correct. I am thinking 1910-1920. It has a bit of a Colonial Revival look to it with some of the woodwork. The house is located on .33 acre in Lenoir, North Carolina. The house features a unique clock in the yard, white picket fence, wonderful porch, large deck, original wood floors, large fireplaces, crown moulding, wide baseboards, chair rails, french doors, sunroom, built-in bookshelves, built-in china cabinet and an updated kitchen. This has been most recently operating as a short term rental property. Zoning would allow for multiple uses, including residential. Five bedrooms, four bathrooms and 3,255 square feet. $399,900
