A Piece of History on 56 Acres in Yanceyville

53 Main St W, Yanceyville, NC 27379 — $850,000
The home was built in 1842 and it shows in the best way. Large rooms, tall ceilings, and details you simply don’t see in new construction. This isn’t a house that was renovated to look old. It’s the real thing, still standing strong after nearly 200 years.
