Experience the perfect blend of farmhouse chic and traditional Victorian charm with the JJ Bagwell house, a piece of Garner history on over 1.5 acres in downtown's vibrant heart. This home is a historic landmark and stands as a testament to 19th century architecture. Discover the excitement of this lively location, where small-town living meets modern convenience. There have been numerous updates over the years that tie into the many original features that remain. This home has expansive rooms and living areas with beadboard, mostly original hardwoods, and solid wood doors. The kitchen shelves are crafted from reclaimed wood over 100 years old from the barn out back! The kitchen has poured concrete countertops and recessed lighting, alongside a practical breakfast bar. On the main level, you'll find a walk-in laundry room that connects to a spacious bathroom with dual sinks. The inviting family room features a gas logs fireplace and built-in bookshelves, creating a cozy atmosphere. The grounds offer fun for all ages with its mature fruit trees, large brick patio, an arbor of grape vines and roses, kid's playground, and old barn turned party fort that you'll only find if you know where to look! The flooring in the back barn was replaced in 2017 for relaxing on a summer night or enjoying a cup of coffee on a crisp fall day. Enjoy peaches, pears, figs & pecans harvested from your own backyard. Sit on the front porch and watch the train go by, or take a stroll to the nearby dog park, playgrounds, baseball fields, and trails. Downtown Garner offers an array of local amenities: bakeries, a gin distillery, bike and plant shops, bars, tea and coffee houses, a wine bar, yoga studios, and a recreation center. This home offers both comfort and convenience in a charming neighborhood setting. Don't miss out—and come visit while the hydrangeas are still in bloom! Agents - see remarks.
Beautiful old home on large lot very close to downtown Garner. The house appears to generally be in very good shape, with some evidence of past bathroom leaks and some rotted siding and ceiling boards. There is one large bathroom on each floor.

Your heart will swoon over this Queen Anne style homestead nestled on hard to find level 1.5 acres! The covered front porch goes on for miles! Situated in the Historical District of Garner, it is quaint yet minutes to all conveniences + only a 15 minute drive to DTR (or a $10 Uber). Lots of updating done over the years but many of the original features remain! Expansive rooms with beadboard, mostly original hardwoods, solid wood doors, turned newel posts, the list could go on. This yard is garden ready!
