About This Home
PRICE IMPROVEMENT - Seller is negotiable on concessions too! Don't miss this one! Step back in time with this charming 4BR/2.5BA home built in 1923, once owned by Dr. Cyrus Leslie Walton, who began practicing medicine in Glen Alpine in 1932. Offering 3,006 sq ft of heated space on a .86-acre fenced lot, this home is full of vintage character—original wood floors, high ceilings, and beautiful staircases. The main floor features a spacious living room that opens to a bright sun porch, a large formal dining room, and an office/library. Upstairs, generous bedrooms provide comfort and charm. The 1,554 sq ft unfinished basement offers excellent storage. Enjoy relaxing on the quaint front or side porch, and there’s a detached 2-car garage. There may even be a small creek at the back of the property—but you didn’t hear it from us. 313 E. Main is full of Glen Alpine history and timeless appeal—a rare find for those who value craftsmanship and classic style.
