119 N Gulf Street, Sanford, NC 27330 - Marti Hampton Real Estate

$555,000

Welcome to The Warren R. Williams House, a registered historic landmark built circa 1923 and one of the finest surviving examples of Sanford's early Craftsman bungalow architecture. Constructed in striking Flemish-bond brick with dark headers and crowned by a low-pitched, slate-shingled hip roof, this home immediately captivates. A charming hipped… Read More dormer with its petite balcony and decorative balustrade adds to the storybook character, while the engaged front porch gracefully extends into a porte cochere, a signature of the period. The property was further framed by an original brick lattice fence which some of that can still be found around the house and includes a contemporaneous hip-roofed brick garage, a rare architectural companion piece still standing nearly a century later. What truly sets this home apart is its heritage. Built for Warren R. Williams, one of Sanford's most influential civic leaders, the home carries the legacy of a man who served as Sanford's mayor from 1927-1933 and again from 1937-1951. Under his leadership, Sanford experienced notable periods of growth, shaping much of the community we know today. Living here means owning not just a home, but a meaningful piece of Sanford's story. Inside, the home's warmth and craftsmanship shine through every room. Picture rails, rich millwork, and well-preserved details celebrate the home's history, while the layout offers comfort and livability for today's lifestyle. Featuring four bedrooms, including a main-floor primary suite, the home provides flexibility for families, guests, or work-from-home needs. An unfinished walk out basement with a workshop area adds excellent storage and hobby space. While outdoors, the property opens to an amazing backyard. Private, spacious, and perfect for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying quiet afternoons in a timeless setting. A two-car detached brick garage complements the historic character and functionality of the home. Recent improvements include a newer main sewer and water line directly to city hookup, offering peace of mind and long-term value. As an added bonus, the seller is offering a $7,500 seller concession toward exterior painting, allowing buyers to personalize the home's historic beauty. This is a rare opportunity to own a lovingly preserved piece of Sanford's architectural heritage with room to make it your own. Homes like this do not come around often.
