Discover a rare opportunity in Morganton's Historic District-a 1920s Craftsman airplane bungalow just one block from Downtown Morganton. Influenced by the Craftsman movement and the Prairie School, and steeped in rich history, this home was built by R.O. Huffman, whose father founded Drexel Furniture. A striking 547 sq ft front porch with restored original hardwood floors and the original Dutch entry door with screen set the tone, leading into an inviting living room with a fireplace, 9 ft ceilings, and gas logs. Gorgeous refinished hardwood floors run throughout the home, seamlessly blending historic character with modern comfort. The kitchen balances practicality with timeless appeal, while the main level offers a primary suite with bath and direct access to a fenced pool. Two additional bedrooms-or flexible office/den spaces-along with a hall bath and jacuzzi complete the first floor. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms featuring a jack-and-jill bath with original tiled flooring and walls, oversized walk-in closets, a cedar closet, and a spacious walk-in attic. Original functioning door hardware with skeleton keys and brick handcrafted on-site highlight the authenticity and craftsmanship of its era. With a full basement, matching garage (originally attached to house by a columned pergola and potential for Airbnb/ADU), and endless opportunities for personalization, this home will appeal to those who value its rich history and timeless charm..plus, it offers one of the most sought after locations you can find - just steps from downtown Morganton, minutes from Lake James and all the hiking that Western NC has to offer!
