About this home
Welcome to this classic beauty in the Historic Weymouth Heights area of Southern Pines with an expansive view of the state nature preserve, Weymouth Woods. Originally built as an architectural retreat to showcase the mastery of John J. McGovern, the owner of the historical McGovern Cedar Millworks Company, this 6-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom estate is on 1.98 private acres.
It is a house to make a home for you and your family with a unique blend of historic allure, urban farmhouse style, and custom craftsmanship, making it a true work of art. Exposed cedar plank ship-lap and rustic brick floors create a feeling of urban farmhouse with a touch of Picasso.
Stepping inside this one-of-a-kind architecture, the many windows let natural light pour in, making you feel fully connected to the beautiful surrounding nature in almost every room. The heart of the home is the magnificent Grand Den. Picture a contemporary rustic lodge experience, with a wall of geometric windows, soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, wood floors, a massive brick wood-burning fireplace, and unique raw cedar wood surrounding you. Suspended above are two stunning large brass chandeliers, salvaged and repurposed from the original 1885 Saint Anthony's Catholic Church. It is warm and inviting with enough space to create many lounging and entertainment areas.
The main level features a spacious master suite with a fireplace and a private office, while the upstairs houses the additional bedrooms, bathrooms, and a storage room. The expansive kitchen features a large center island with a built-in farmhouse table, and excellent potential to open walls into the formal dining space. Every bedroom radiates its own personality with cozy nooks and built-in cedar shelving, while the farmhouse-inspired bathrooms feature rustic flooring, natural light, and barn doors.
Outside, a massive brick patio provides a private, peaceful oasis surrounded by mature-growth pine and hardwood trees. The space provides plenty of opportunity for outdoor entertainment and simply enjoying the gorgeous scenery. Situated directly across from the 900+ acre Weymouth Woods State Park and its extensive trail system, this property enjoys a breathtaking natural backdrop from both the home and patio. Miles of scenic trails offer exceptional opportunities for hiking and horseback riding, while the protected woodlands provide a peaceful, picturesque setting that will remain largely untouched by future development.
An exceptional opportunity to acquire this lovely estate home at a compelling value. Priced significantly below its current appraised value, which thoughtfully reflects the opportunity for repairs and updates, the property offers tremendous potential to create a truly exceptional home while building in substantial value. It's a must-see.
A recent home inspection is available for buyers to review, providing valuable insight as they envision the possibilities. Offered As Is, this is a rare opportunity for a buyer looking for space, quality, and the ability to make a home uniquely their own at an attractive price point.
Note: The seller is in process of finalizing the survey of the original 4.7 acre lot into 3 lots, main house on 1.98 and two adjacent lots 1.35 acres each. Lots 1A and 1C are available for purchase WITH Lot B for an additional cost, call the Listing Agent for pricing....
