About this home

THE SHEPARD HOUSE: HISTORIC SCALE & UNBEATABLE VALUE. Now offered at an incredible $144/sq ft, this breathtaking 6-bedroom estate in the Fayetteville St District is a substantial investment opportunity or a rare find for a large family. Unlike typical 1920s builds, major systems are updated: over $30k in recent improvements includes new HVAC ductwork (2024), a 75-gallon water heater (11/2025), updated plumbing, and extensive roof work. The turnkey interior features a show-stopping grand double staircase, soaring ceilings, gleaming original hardwoods, modernized kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances, and cozy gas fireplace. FLEXIBLE 6-BEDROOM LAYOUT: Ideal for growing families needing dedicated home offices and guest space, or as a high-yield rental targeting the NCCU student market (estimated gross rent $5k+/mo). Prime location just minutes from NCCU, Duke, and Downtown, and 5 blocks from the American Tobacco Trail. Private parking pad for 2-3 vehicles. Fenced yard
