After visiting the train depot in Edenton, I’m kind of tempted by this old train depot! But I have my hands full with two restoration jobs. The old Colon Depot was built in 1885. It is located on 13 acres in Sanford, North Carolina. The in-ground pool sure was a surprise! So is that 1970’s shag carpeting! 🙂 It even has a 1970’s sunken den. Sanford isn’t far from Raleigh, so this one has a lot of potential. There is even a 1950 square foot detached storage shed on the property. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 1,685 square feet. $175,000
