A Piece of Louisburg History – The Edgerton-Pruitt House
Welcome to a truly distinctive property in the Louisburg Historic District — the Edgerton-Pruitt House, a classic Colonial Revival-style residence built circa 1905. This grand home is recognized for its remarkable architecture and historic significance in the community.
With approximately 6,100 square feet of interior space, this residence was constructed during a period when craftsmanship and architectural elegance were paramount. Enter through the double-door entry to find a grand colonial split staircase that sets the tone for the home’s architectural marvels.
Interior Details & Layout
Inside, the home features wide hallways with elaborate wainscot and chair rail woodwork, wide baseboards, and period details that honor the property’s historic fabric. The interior layout includes:
• Six spacious bedrooms — perfect for large families or future repurposing
