Are the bathrooms in this house cool or unnerving? Check them out in NC home for sale
An elegant Colonial Revival-style bed-and-breakfast inn not only radiates southern charm, but it’s also on the real estate market in Greensboro, North Carolina, for $1.7 million.
And while the six-bedroom, nine-bathroom place, known as Double Oaks, has a certain old-fashioned style in some rooms, the bathrooms stand out in a pretty intense way.
Or, are they just simply cool upgrades in a historic home?
Once called the Harden Thomas Martin House, the 6,700-square-foot property was built 1909 and accepted into the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, according to the listing on Zillow.com.
“The house is the only known residential design of G. Will Armfield, a Guilford County native who pursued a successful career as a dry goods merchant before taking up architecture in his late 50s,” the Double Oaks website said of the home’s history.
“The home was built for Harden Thomas Martin, a native of Rockingham County who operated stores in Ayersville and Reidsville before moving to Greensboro in 1909, where he entered semi-retirement and engaged in small-scale real estate development.”
The estate not only sports the interesting-looking bathrooms but also has other amenity highlights, according to the listing, including:
Grand split-run staircase
The home’s original fireplaces
Porte-cochere
Two-story lonic portico
But it’s the bathrooms that caught the eye of the Twitter account @TriangleWeird, which scouts out unique, and often odd, homes on the real estate market in North Carolina.
“Honestly these bathrooms are kinda intimidating,” one tweet in the thread said.
Greensboro is about 92 miles northeast of Charlotte.
