The c. 1919 R. Craig F. Cornwall House is an imposing example of a Neo-Classical Revival residence. The property is listed as a contributing property in Weldon's National Register's Historic District. This property is a candidate for tax credits.
The property is livable but will require complete restoration, mostly cosmetic on the first floor. The second floor will need plaster repair or covering with sheet rock. The exterior will need some boxing and trim work repair. The columns will need repair as well.
New heat pumps were installed in the last 10 years (not sure of exact date) providing central heat and air conditioning on both floors. On the first floor, the plaster walls have been covered over and finished with sheetrock and the kitchen has been updated.
The house has a grand foyer, large formal living room, large dinning room, sunroom, kitchen with butler's pantry, 1/2 bath and a study/bedroom downstairs on he first floor.
The second floor has a large foyer, 3 bedrooms, one full bath with space to add two additional baths. The unfinished attic would make great living space as well.
