Oh! Oh! Oh! Look at this beauty that recently went up for sale in North Carolina!
3435 N Lake Road is located in a quiet country setting just off the shores of Lake Mattamuskeet near Fairfield, North Carolina.
Surrounded by cornfields, this 1872 Folk Gothic Revival-style house is known to the locals as “The Gingerbread House”.
Of course it is!
Look at this darling place.
This vintage beauty is surprisingly affordable with an asking price of only $249,000.
Come, have a look-see inside…
Filled with fascinating historical goodies, this home is a sight to behold.
Its official name is the Murray House.
The decor is simply stunning.
Many of the antique pieces are museum quality but it is a comfortable museum, one in which you want to linger and lounge for a while and delight in the beauty that surrounds you.
The spacious old home features 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths with over 2,500 square feet of living space.
Custom woodwork is found throughout the home along with tall ceilings, wide plank hardwood floors, a wood-burning stove, and 4 fireplaces.
In the dining room alone, one could spend an hour or two perusing the collectibles.
The kitchen and additional rooms in the rear of the home were added on in the mid-1960s.
Despite being relatively “newer”, the kitchen has a vintage feel to it, by design.
White-washed brick adds to that long-lived feeling.
Even the laundry room mixes new and old.
Check out the elegant blue room:
Library? Den? Office? All of those things and more!
There are two other bedrooms on the main floor.
Look at the sweet nursery room…
One of the remodeled bathrooms is pictured below:
Upstairs, there are two large bedrooms with dormer windows.
At the back of the house, there is a screened-in, covered porch that displays even more collectibles.
The porch looks out over the yard to the cornfields beyond.
It’s such a peaceful, quiet setting. You could have your own field of dreams – with your dream house as well!
