From the Zillow listing:
“The House the Five String Banjo Built”: Bascom Lamar Lunsford, Minstrel of the Appalachians, had this home constructed in 1938. With a large living room designed for square-dancing and banjo-picking, this home was a place where music and folk history were made. The house was remodeled around 1973 and only gently used thereafter, and is a true time capsule just waiting for its vibrant Appalachian spirit to be restored. Turkey creek runs across the back of the well-maintained lot. 20 mins to Asheville, surrounded by farmland. — AS-IS. ALL CONTENTS CONVEY. 2nd Floor has only a wood stove as a heat source so can’t be counted toward heated square footage.
