Welcome to the Historic Upton-Pippen House (c. 1825)!
Nestled in the charming historic village of Hamilton, North Carolina, this remarkable 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Martin County history.
Dating to the early-to-mid 19th century, the Upton-Pippen House is primarily Greek Revival in style while featuring distinctive Federal architectural details that suggest an even earlier core. The home's vernacular Greek Revival pedimented front porch and original mantels showcase the craftsmanship and character that make historic homes so special. In 1904, the home was the residence of B. L. Upton, Hamilton's town lamplighter.
Many renovations have already been completed, allowing the next owner to enjoy modern conveniences while adding their own personal touches. The home features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious living room, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and its original rolled tin roof, preserving its historic charm.
Situated on a picturesque, shaded lot, the property also includes a wired outbuilding, workshop/garage, and ample outdoor space for hobbies, storage, or entertaining.
Whether you're a lover of historic architecture or simply looking for a unique property with timeless character, the Upton-Pippen House is ready to welcome its next chapter.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to own one of Hamilton's historic treasures. Schedule your private showing today!
