Property Description

Discover the Little Red House, a tastefully restored one-level cottage perched at the top of the hill in historic Glencoe Mill Village. This distinctive 1,174-square-foot home offers two bedrooms, one-and-a-half baths, and paired front doors. The front two rooms date to 1885, the kitchen was added in 1910, and the rear bedrooms and bathroom were built around 2005. The living and dining rooms share a double chimney, with a wood-burning stove in each room, while the vintage kitchen showcases beadboard ceilings and walls. A screened porch spans the back of the home and overlooks the woods. The large covered side porch includes a washer and dryer and offers flexible space for an office or additional storage. Outside, enjoy garden areas, a fenced side yard with established plantings, a flagstone patio, and a convenient garden shed. Parking is provided by a shared gravel driveway. Set along the Haw River, Glencoe Mill Village is home to the Textile Heritage Museum, Mountains-to-Sea Trail, a children's outdoor learning environment, paddling access, walking trails, picnic areas, and fishing. Convenient to Burlington, Elon, Graham, and Interstates 40 and 85. The washer and dryer are located on the covered side porch, which is neither heated nor cooled. Preservation North Carolina holds a right of first refusal and must speak with the buyer before approving a waiver. Glencoe Mill Village is located within an extraterritorial jurisdiction; the Glencoe HOA owns the sewer system, and water service is provided by the City of Burlington.
