You get over a full acre of flat, beautiful land to garden, play, or just relax. While it feels like a quiet country retreat, you are still super close to everything Winston-Salem has to offer. With modern updates like vinyl windows, fresh paint, and updated electrical, this historic gem is ready for its next chapter. At $269,000, it’s an absolute steal!
