300 2nd Street
Kenly, NC 27542Originally built in 1905, this Queen Anne-inspired Victorian is the kind of home that stops you in your tracks. Crowned by a stately tower and finished with a charming second-floor balcony, it carries more than a century of character within its walls. From the french door entry and original windows to the intricate trim work and sweeping grand staircase, the details tell a story that simply cannot be recreated today. With more than 2,600 square feet, the home offers four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, including a main-floor primary suite with its own fireplace. The formal living room features a second fireplace, while the updated kitchen includes a gas range. Main-floor laundry adds everyday convenience, and three generously sized bedrooms upstairs provide plenty of room to reimagine the home for today. Outside, a detached two-car garage offers additional storage and workspace. This home is not without projects—but for the buyer who recognizes what is here, opportunity waits around every corner. Build the sweat equity, and breathe new life into a home from an era when craftsmanship mattered. They truly do not make them like this anymore.
