207 N 5th Street Aurora, NC 27806

Historic Home, in Beaufort County. Come to Aurora and pay a visit to this Beautiful Old Home in Aurora NC. !2' high, tongue and grove ceilings in most rooms and some walls. Beautiful patterns and moldings. Large halls with 3 staircases. This house was purchased with restoration in mind and the owners have decided to offer it to someone with the skills and time to bring it back to its proper glory. Built around 1895 this home was once the Stately Mansion that the original owners were very proud of. The present owner's hope is that the next owners will be as proud as the first owners were after renovation is finished. The 6'' wood floors will compliment every room in the home. The home comes with 16 rooms and 3 bathrooms. Fireplaces, yes 8, one in every room of the main house, except the two large ''Attic Rooms ''on the 3rd floor. Those rooms are exactly as when originally built, with unpainted tongue and groove boards. A great conversation floor and could be used for bedrooms or other spaces. Probably the best view in town. Aurora was founded in 1880, and this home was built shortly after. This could be the premiere home in town and has always been one of the most noticeable around.

The story is that Mr. and Mrs. Cherry, came to Aurora in the late 1800's and built this fine home along with the Cherry Hotel (Old Heilig-Meyers building) on the corner of Fifth and Main Street. Times were good in Aurora back then.

Aurora is a unique community, built on the banks of South Creek when trade depended on water travel for survival. When farming and fishing was the economy. When the railroad came, potatoes made Aurora the Potatoe capital of NC.

Public boat ramp 5 minutes away for the Fishermen and lots of woods and water for the Hunters. Water, Water Everywhere!

For the right people this could be your ''Dream Home,'' if you think you're the one, please come and take a look.
