Looking for a Georgian mansion?

Where can you get an 1897 Georgian mansion with Doric columns, huge wrap-around porch, 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms for under $250,000? This nearly 5,000 square foot historic Georgian home is located on .5 acres in Burlington, North Carolina. If you haven't heard of Burlington before, you might be assuming that this home is located in a small town hours from any big city. But, Burlington, NC is a city with a metropolitan area population of 150,000. Plus, Burlington, NC is only a 40 minute drive from Durham, North Carolina - home to Duke University. 

When you look at it, don't you just imagine what you would do with this place? Such as, the floors. It has oak hardwoods under the carpet, and I think it's time for those to experience the sound of shoes again. I hear music echoing through the walls. I see ballroom dancing. I see a beautiful piano in the corner. I see the stairway decorated at Christmastime. I see friends on the porch on summer evenings sharing sweet tea and lemonade. 

Although this home has already experienced over 100 years of dreams, this home looks like a million dreams waiting to happen.
