This home, which later served as part of a tobacco barn, has been lovingly restored over the years. Its original charm shines through with beautifully refinished antique floors, where you can still see the square-headed nails that tell a story of craftsmanship. Recently updated with high-speed internet lines, the property now offers modern connectivity while maintaining its timeless allure.
