The one who has grown bored with the predictable, cookie-cutter style homes that are found on every street in the nation. The one who LOVES mid-century/post-WWII design. The one who is looking for unique and charming with a touch of exclusivity: There were only about 2,500, durable, all-metal Lustron homes built in the US between 1947-1950 in an effort to provide housing for returning armed service members. Allegedly, there are only 39 of these homes in NC; now is your opportunity to own one!

Today, this home offers 3 fully updated bathrooms, a garage with room for a workshop or extra storage, and a spacious sunroom that could flex as a multi-generational bedroom and living space. Holiday lights go up and come down -inside and out- in a matter of minutes, just need magnetic hooks! Shaded, low-maintenance lawn!
