Property Description
Step into timeless charm and small-town convenience with this beautiful nearly 100-year-old Craftsman-style home, where
character and comfort come together perfectly. Listed as the “French Young House” on the National Register of Historic Places, it features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. This inviting residence showcases soaring first floor ceilings, original doors, vintage hardware and wood flooring throughout that reflect the craftsmanship and elegance of a bygone era. The original, unheated spring house is attached to the kitchen. It has electricity and serves as the laundry room and pantry. There is a small, heated sun porch with outside and kitchen access. A welcoming front porch, complete with a classic porch swing, provides the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the evening. The home's curb appeal is enhanced by a colorful flower bed leading to the front entrance, along with an apple tree and berry bushes and mature plantings behind the house that add beauty and seasonal enjoyment to the property. A rarity in downtown Lansing, this house features an original carport for a smaller car and a paved driveway behind the house with space for at least 3 vehicles. Off of the dining room is a 8'x24' ground level deck. There is an underground French drain across the property that protects the home from excess moisture. Attached to the house is an unheated, but electrified workshop or studio. There is a large, free-standing garden shed and a fire pit with a movable cooking grate. Inside you'll find spacious living areas filled with natural light, historic details, and the warmth that only a well-loved Craftsman home can offer. Whether
you're entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening at home in front of the propane cast iron stove, this property provides the perfect setting. Located in the heart of the community, you will love being within walking distance of the grocery store, post office, coffee shop, Creeper Trail Park, and the local dog park. Outdoor enthusiasts will especially appreciate the short walk across the street to Big Horse Creek, a renowned and stocked North Carolina heritage trout stream and popular fishing destination
known for its scenic beauty and excellent angling opportunities. Offering historic charm, modern livability, and an unbeatable location, this exceptional home is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of mountain-town living. This home is not in a flood zone and was not impacted by Hurricane Helene's flooding.
