Own a piece of United States Railroad history! Built in 1897, the Section Foreman's House in Historic Downtown Garner has been restored to its original charming design. The home is noted in the National Registry of Historic Places as part of Downtown Garner's Historic District Designation. Built before the turn of the 20th century, the home was used for overnight housing for train conductors during layovers. The home has been returned to its original state with 10 ft ceilings. During the renovation process, irreplaceable wainscoting siding was discovered, hidden under layers of laminate siding; a feature that could not be replaced today without considerable costs. This siding style was the 'sheetrock' of its time period. The home has served as a rental for the last 2 years, providing a very strong rental history. Most recent monthly rents were $1775/month. The home has a new HVAC system (2021) , stainless steel appliances, & granite countertops with tile backsplash. The home could continue as a unique rental, AirBNB, or your own quaint home, walkable to the growing amenities in Downtown Garner.
