Remarks:
The circa 1828 Jesse Clement House on 13+/- acres is a rare example of early Colonial American history. 1820s Federal-style brick homes in the Piedmont region of North Carolina are few and far between. Built with bricks handmade on site, the exterior of this 2-story, 4-bedroom/3-bath home offers an unusual combination of Flemish and English bond patterns. Situated on a sprawling estate encompassing 13.47 deeded acres (12.75 acres per GIS), this National Register-listed home stands as a testament to early 19th-century craftsmanship. The home's structural character is showcased with sturdy one-foot-thick solid brick walls on the first floor that taper to a lesser thickness via a unique curved step-back, visible in the stairwell. These thick walls are evident in the first-floor rooms via handsome deep windowsills and the center hall bearing walls. Meticulously restored in 1978 to strict National Park Service Standards, the home retains period details, including a striking 3-lite transom above the front door, original hand-planed moldings, distinctive chair rails, wide heart-of-pine flooring, and deep window openings housing original wavy glass panes. The heart of this 4-bedroom home is a grand 25'x15' parlor that once served as a prominent gathering place for early community leaders. Unusual, hand-carved mantels anchor the home's seven historic fireplaces, three of which remain fully operational. While the home honors its deep roots, a thoughtfully integrated first-floor 'salt-box' addition provides the modern luxury of a primary owners' suite complete with a spacious walk-in closet. Upstairs, a second spacious owners' suite awaits, featuring a large private sitting room and a dedicated full bathroom. A third full bath and a conveniently located hallway laundry closet round out the upper level. Beyond the main home, the expansive acreage offers fantastic versatility. A detached garage built in 2010 includes a welcoming guest suite featuring a full bathroom, a cozy kitchenette, and window AC—perfect for guests, a home office, or a creative studio. Picturesque outbuildings dot the property, including a wonderful garden shed with an attached (former) chicken coop, and a small shed, offering excellent additional storage or workshop space. This historic acreage includes a gravel driveway easement utilized by Duke Power for nearby substation access. A Norfolk-Southern rail track lies to the [north] of the house; interestingly, the only elevation that does not include the 9-over-9 windows. Combining timeless architectural preservation, significant acreage, and flexible modern amenities, the Jesse Clement House is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a living piece of North Carolina history. Only four families have owned this home in the last 198 years! Preservation NC covenants and deed restrictions apply, protecting it for future generations. Once briefly a Bed-and-Breakfast, it is perfectly positioned to be so again, or ~ make it your own truly private residential homestead.
