From the Zillow listing:

 

Welcome to 227 N. Asheboro Street, officially recognized on the Liberty historic document as the Bascom M. & Alpha Brower House. This breathtaking two-story residence is a textbook example of late-Victorian transitional design, masterfully marrying the romantic, irregular massing of the Queen Anne style with refined neo-classical elements. The home commands attention with its striking pedimented gables and classic Tuscan columns. The undisputed centerpiece is the magnificent one-story wrap-around porch, extending across the front facade and hugging the north and south elevations, complete with a rare drive-through porte-cochere. Inside, oversized, one-over-one double-hung wood sash windows flood the spacious interior with natural light. Set on a rare 0.83-acre lot, this home presents an amazing opportunity to own a piece of Liberty history. It is priced to allow the buyer to contribute to its rebirth, making it the perfect canvas to restore a true architectural treasure!
