Property Description

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the David A. Barnes House in Murfreesboro is one of the most prestigious and historically significant homes in northeastern North Carolina. Built in 1875, it is among the final and most elaborate residences designed by master builder Jacob W. Holt. The estate spans over 8 acres, much of it fenced, and includes several original contributing outbuildings that enrich its authenticity and charm.
The main residence is an Italianate two-story, three-bay-wide, wood-frame home with a whipped roof. Inside, you'll find 12-foot ceilings, refinished heart pine floors, eight fireplaces, and original doors, windows, and baseboards. A broad front porch welcomes you into a dramatic foyer, where a central hallway divides the two front and two rear rooms on each level. A grand staircase anchors the front hall, while a simpler service staircase is tucked to the rear. The downstairs rooms are more elaborate, with decorative plaster crown moldings, while the two formal parlors feature original sliding pocket doors that open to side porches. A den or library provides flexibility as a main-level bedroom with full en suite.
The main floor also offers a dining room, breakfast room, laundry, half bath, full bath with antique fixtures, and a modern kitchen with high-end appliances. The rear hall opens to a covered porch and deck overlooking the private backyard. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms and a full bath. Exterior details include horseshoe trusses with jig-sawn trim, elegant quatrefoil gable windows, and paired chimneys rising at the hip breaks.
Contributing outbuildings include a hay barn, stable, four-seater privy, chicken shed, garden shed, cabin, and a restored cook's house with mini-split HVAC—ideal as a home office or studio. The cabin offers excellent renovation potential.
Protected by historic covenants and eligible for tax discounts, this estate offers a rare chance to own not just a home, but a page in a living piece of history.
