Historic Monteith Home circa 1890 National Historic Registry on over an acre. A real beauty, a classic! Possible owner finance for 2 to 5 years while you finish… 5 minutes to Rutherfordton 50 minutes to Asheville 38 minutes to Morganton 1 hour to Spartanburg. Well or city water & septic. Gas furnace. Over an acre of land unrestricted outside city limits. I have been and will continue to work on this home. It is very solid with a good standing seam metal roof, foundation has been repaired, jacked, leveled throughout and rebuilt along the back. New vapor barrier installed. Completely rewired with a 200amp service. The remaining tasks include carpentry repairs on porches and siding. Some exterior stair, railing and masonry repairs on stairs. Not major, most is solid and intact. Exterior painting, big job. Interior has 12’ ceilings and beadboard throughout most of which was covered with wallpaper or fabric. It will require removal, prep and painting, or your choice of recovering…Two elegant chimneys with 4 fireplaces. Fireplaces will require firebox masonry work. I’d like to hand this one off to someone who appreciates it. I will continue the process here but have other things to move onto. A truly beautiful historic home.
