THE WILL MONDAY HOUSE c. 1920The low pitched roof reduces vertical scale to help the home integrate seamlessly with its landscape. Unlike older styles that masked roof framing, Craftsman properties celebrate it. This roof incorporates wide overhanging eaves and exposed rafter tails along the roofline. The large front-facing shed dormer breaks up the long roof slope while adding living space and light upstairs. Look at the granite details! - 1023 N Main Street, Mount Airy NC 27030, Mount Airy

About this home

NOW PRICED $32K BELOW RECENT APPRAISAL! The Will Monday House c. 1920, carries a documented history that most homes can only hint at. Will Monday was a civic leader and businessman who shaped Mount Airy's early commercial identity. The home’s preserved Craftsman architecture still reflects the character of that era: tapered columns, original hardwood floors, a welcoming front porch, and the kind of craftsmanship that you don’t find in modern construction. The home has been thoughtfully updated - not renovated into anonymity, but brought carefully forward. It sits in the Lebanon Hill Historic District, just blocks from downtown Mt. Airy, the real-life town that inspired Mayberry. The Balladeer Hotel-the first boutique hotel and conference center in downtown Mount Airy is less than a mile away! That combination-named provenance, preserved architecture, walkable location, & a living connection to one of America's most beloved small-town stories-is an extremely rare find!
