It was once a historic mill, now it’s a house for sale in North Carolina. Take a look
A charming six-bedroom, five-bathroom home in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, has landed on the real estate market for $849,000.
The kicker? It was once a historic mill built over a century ago in 1909.
Sitting on 3.5 acres, the 3,128-square-foot home was restoration project that took 30-plus years to finish, Captivating Houses said. A well was even installed in 1985 to supply the home’s water.
The end result is an enthralling house with a storybook-like wrap-around porch, with views and wonderful privacy so you can sit and enjoy the sounds of rushing water nearby.
Inside, hardwood floors and carpeting blend together downstairs, with light flooding in from large windows and French doors. Looming indoor pillars gives the house a rustic feel — both upstairs and downstairs.
Each bedroom appears to be different colors, ranging from cool to delightfully vibrant.
There’s even a newly built mother-in-law suite with one bedroom, one full bathroom and its own private entrance, the listing on Zillow.com says.
According to the listing, there are “lots of deer, wild turkey” on the property as well as bass and catfish in the nearby creek, perfect for hunters and anglers alike.
North Wilkesboro is about 80 miles northwest of Charlotte.
