From the Zillow listing:

 

The beloved Lawson-Lavender house. One of Greensboro’s architectural treasures. This grande dame needs to be restored to her former glory. She will be a showstopper! Sitting atop a gently sloping double lot the site offers a wonderful hilltop view. Walking distance to Main St. but surrounded by lush green woods on 3 sides it feels miles away. This home oozes charm! Frame exterior laid out in unique patterns, a wraparound screened porch, a square turret over the front entrance that opens up to a home filled with so many special details. High ceilings, beautiful original hardwood floors, original fireplaces with antique mantles and original tile surround. The curved staircase boasts original unpainted wood banister and a unique detail on stair treads. Must see to appreciate this jewel!
