Green-Hartsfield House

Don’t miss out on the auction of the c.1806 Green-Hartsfield House on nearly 4 acres approximately 45-minutes from downtown Raleigh!

The Green-Hartsfield House is a notable example of Late Georgian/Early Federal architecture and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 after the restoration of the house following the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Properties.

Sited on nearly 4 acres in eastern Wake County, the 3-bedroom, 2 1/2 bath residence features a two-over-two hall and parlor plan, including local-cut stone chimney and refined historic interior details. Above the living room (hall) and dining room (parlor) are dual master suites hosting original mantels and wainscot. The 1985-87 restoration added a guest bedroom and two baths upstairs (allowing plumbing and electrical replacement to be confined to the new ell) and full staircase; downstairs an eat-in kitchen, keeping room (den), laundry, half-bath and closets added contemporary functionality.

Throughout, wide plank heart-pine floors, original wainscot and four dentil mantels remain as do the two pie stairs from hall to second floor and from master to third floor garret. This story was updated in 2012 to provide two chambers/studies with original beams, unstained floors and built-in bookcases; three-zone HVAC services each level individually.

Up and down generous covered porches adjoin the keeping room and a second-floor bedroom. Numerous period outbuildings, including the original outdoor kitchen structure (which could be envisioned as guesthouse), new roof (~2019) and tankless water heater complete the complex.

The historic designation could be employed to provide further renovation and tax advantages.
