Beautiful piece of Gaston County architectural history! This 5 bed home built in 1892 by the Riddle family, remained in the family until the Albright family purchased it in 1982. They relocated the home to a new foundation just 80 feet away & had all new plumbing & electric installed. The heart pine wood floors were harvested from the original 200 acre working farm. The current home w large front porch rests beautifully on approximately 8.5 acres. New roof & exterior paint. Some of the old structures can still be found as you explore the property; barn, feed shed, chicken coop & others. High ceilings, a grand foyer & original mill work make you feel like you've been transported back in time. 9 original fireplaces remain and 4 are still working per seller. The history of the home is well documented in books. (some information can be found in MLS attachments). From the kitchen, access wrap around back porch & find the perfect spot to sit & enjoy the peace that comes w this rare find!

R-1
Single-Family Limited
The purpose of this district is to accommodate single-family site built and modular construction. The minimum lot size allowed in this district will be dependent on the provision of public or community water and sewer facilities. Although areas may be served with such utilities, most of these areas are located beyond existing or anticipated utility service coverage areas. The minimum lot size for residential uses in this district is therefore larger than in other residential zoning districts.
