Drenched in history, this stunning, 1850's, Pre-Civil War Estate was referred to as the Showplace of Warrenton, NC. For those who do not know; this area was the playground of the wealthy. Some of the mantels in the home were recently discovered to be Federalist, which was in the early 1800's. Custom built by the renowned Jacob W. Holt, Architect, carpenter/Joiner, the style of the home has Greek and Italianate features that were adapted to local preferences. But, some of the mantels in the home were recently discovered to be Federalist, which was in the early 1800's. The home boasts 2 closets/bedroom; in which most homes of that era had none.
