185 Ruffin Street, Linville, NC 28646

First time on Market!! Rare opportunity to own a piece of Linville History. The Yoder house has been a staple in Linville since 1884. It is an interesting example of 19th century architecture. The interior is exposed wormy chestnut paneling except for the front room which housed the Linville Post Office for 28 years. The architectural design of this home with asymmetric gables and one gambrel dormer. You will find this historical home breathtaking. Underneath the existing siding you will find the original Diamond cut wood siding. Inside the home there is no sheetrock. Entire interior designed with wood walls, ceilings and floors. Two staircases with access the kitchen and the dining room. The home is being sold with the adjoining lot making a total of around .65 of an acre. It will be up to a new buyer to have new survey. The home is sold as is where is. There are no electrical or plumbing services maintained inside the home. It will be up to the new buyer to upgrade these utilities. There will be a stipulation on the new deed that the new owner has to maintain the existing structure of the home and the home can not be torn down.
