Description

According to the owner this is the original JA Rankin homestead which has been renovated. The owner said that he bought the land and the house was thrown in because it was in such disrepair. The owner spent several years renovating the house to live-in condition. **** Owner says there are 2 workable fireplaces. New ceramic tile and modern kitchen and baths. 12' baseboards, wainscotting. 3 of the bedrooms do not have closets ** Just add armoires. **** According to owner the original house was built in 3 sections. (1700's,1800's estimated). The original log cabin is not visible. This was the first house in Greensboro with underground modern water system. The water tower is gone but the original water pump building is on site. Great for gazebo. Do you remember that in the old days that the servants used to cook in the detached kitchens and take the meals into the houses? They tell me the reason was so that the house wasn't filled with food odors. Well, the original detached Kitchen is on the grounds. *** There are too many rooms to list. The new kitchen in the house is L-shaped and includes an additional breakfast room or mud room (whatever you want to make of it). The original root cellar/coal bin is in tact but has been reinforced and extended with Buffalo Creek rocks. The maid's quarters are in tact with a back staircase leading down to the kitchen area. There are two staircases. There is a large stand up attic where the owner said that World War I wives stayed when their husbands went off to war. When he bought the house there were five cots up there. The owner says there is also a ghost in the house named Ms. Cherry. Also, on the property is a two story chicken house. ******** Directions: Yanceyville towards Pisgah Church R/Rankin. House Right.
