505 S Washington St., Monroe, NC 28112

Character, history, location, and potential. This Queen Anne Victorian house has it all in an up and coming neighborhood. Only 3 families in 123 years have owned this home - Dr. Houston, for whom Houston Street is named, The Fairleys, and then the Nemers (current owners for 43 yrs) (Original deed says built in 1892, whereas tax records state 1901). 40 year old Azalea bushes in front yard put on a show every spring along with abundant flowers all over large lot. Beautiful downtown Monroe is easy to walk to, with a park nearby, shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries. Impressive and original pine floors throughout common areas. Large foyer. Ceiling fans, beadboard ceilings, clawfoot bathtub, 4 fireplaces, and 12 ft ceilings. This home needs a lot of TLC, so be ready to use your imagination to turn it into a true showplace. Attic area could be finished for 504 more square feet. Needs a new roof, floor repair in at least one bedroom, exterior needs extensive repairs.
