108 Bullock Street · Franklinton, NC 27525

Comparing a 1901 historic home to the 2018 build at 108 Bullock Street is a classic trade-off between character and modern convenience. While this sold listing offers unique charm and four ensuite bedrooms, it lacks the energy efficiency and open-concept flow found in the home for sale. The price difference reflects the premium buyers typically pay for a newer, low-maintenance ranch versus a century-old property that requires more ongoing upkeep and immediate exterior work.

This property is a very strong comparison as it is also a ranch-style home, though it includes a bonus room upstairs. It features a durable brick exterior and sits on a larger lot, which explains the higher total sales price. However, 108 Bullock Street is over 20 years newer, offering a more contemporary interior aesthetic and likely more modern building standards than this 1990s build.

It is very telling that this brand-new home sold for a higher price per square foot despite being a two-story layout. Generally, single-story homes like 108 Bullock Street command a premium because they are more accessible and often more desirable. Seeing that the home for sale is larger and costs less per foot than a new two-story build suggests it is a very strong opportunity for a buyer who wants modern quality without the new construction price tag.
