The J. T. Moore House c. 1893. Moore, a merchant and cotton broker, built this Queen Anne-style cottage which features a cutaway bay window and a wrap-around porch with turned columns. You are keeping good company with the next door Marcellus Parker House, c.1874, with its Second Empire-style central tower. Parker was also a cotton broker. The jewel is a southeast corner sun room with a wrap-around deck, both overlooking the large 0.29 acre back yard that gently slopes down to a level area with space for a garden, badminton and croquet. The big brick patio can double as a parking pad. Note the storage shed at the back of the lot. |

Elegant is an understatement. Transom windows top the doors leading from the long central hall. The library/family room/den has shutters and a handsome fireplace. The wainscoting was made from cut doors hung side-by-side. |

The bright living room is a frequent Triangle gathering-place for musical, political and neighborhood groups. The dining room is ideally located for formal and infor-mal entertaining. All four fireplaces in the house are decorative. The now modern, eat-in kitchen was once detached, located in what today is the 2nd bedroom space. View floor plan.

The master bedroom (left), one of two 1st floor bedrooms, has lots of storage high and low. The master bath is newer but every bit as elegant as the rest of the house. |
 |
|
 |
The second bedroom (left) has an adjoining utility room and closet that could be converted into a second master suite with a private bath. |  |

Think of it as a suite. The upstairs 3rd bedroom, with a half bath, adjacent Hobby Room and neat nooks, is a versatile space that could be an office or exercise/playroom. It also could become a master suite with the addition of a tub or shower to the half bath.The Hobby Room is big enough for two single beds. The nooks (*) both have windows and are a great hideaway for kids of all ages. View floor plan. |
