403 McReynolds St, Carthage, NC 28327
Located on McReynolds Street in the Carthage Historic District, the Charles T. Sinclair House is a charming property with 12 beautifully designed rooms, perfect for a home or a bed-and-breakfast. Though the grand semicircular front porch with Corinthian columns was removed and needs restoration, many of the original exterior features are still intact. These include the blonde brick facade, a porte-cochère, a one-story side porch with Corinthian columns and balustrades, and an impressive double-leaf main entrance framed by an elliptical fanlight of art glass and large sidelights. You’ll also find stunning tripartite windows with art glass fanlights, a balcony supported by Craftsman-style brackets, a front dormer, pressed metal shingles, ornamental wrought iron cresting, and tall corbelled brick chimneys.
Inside, the grand entrance with a sweeping staircase framed by columned arches and a lighted newel post sets a magnificent tone. The spacious parlors feature coved ceilings, elegant woodwork, pocket doors, tall mirrored mantels, wood floors throughout, and period lighting. The house is habitable with functioning HVAC and a few half baths, but it lacks a full bathroom and has a large catering kitchen that could use some updates.
There are areas that need attention, including water infiltration, soffit repair, reconstruction of the front porch, repainting, and other necessary upgrades. The Charles T. Sinclair House is a key part of the Carthage Historic District and is eligible for historic preservation tax credits, making it a fantastic opportunity for anyone passionate about historic restoration.
