About this home

There's a version of homeownership most people only dream about: a house with real age and real character, built back when craft actually meant something, and not a single thing left to fix, replace, or worry about. 503 Kenmore Ave is that house. Built in 1920, it carries the bones and presence a brand-new build simply can't replicate. The proportions. The depth. The kind of soul that only accumulates over a hundred years.

But step inside and you're looking at a complete reinvention. The roof is new. The windows are new. The doors are new. The plumbing is new. The electrical is new. The HVAC is new. The ductwork is new. The kitchen is new. The bathrooms are new. The cabinets are new. However, the original hardwoods? They are still there and are as beautiful as ever.

That's not a renovation. That's a full rebuild wrapped in a century-old shell, and that combination is genuinely rare. You get to own a piece of Louisburg history and actually enjoy it from day one. And the character that drew you in? Still here. The proportions, the presence, the connection to something built with intention. It's just that everything underneath that character has been rebuilt to last another hundred years. If you've been waiting for the right older home, this is the one that won't let you down.

201 Cedar Street

Sold Oct 28, 2025
Sold for $30k more249 sq ft smaller$52 higher per sq ftWell-maintained but older finishes

503 Kenmore Avenue offers significantly more living space and a lower price point than this home on Cedar Street. While the Cedar Street property is a solid 2008 build, the home for sale has been completely rebuilt from the studs up, giving it a newer interior feel with modern systems. You are getting more square footage and a higher level of finish for a better price here.

Bottom line
The home for sale is a standout option compared to this listing, offering more space and a full renovation for less money.

117 E Franklin Street

Sold Oct 9, 2025
Sold for $90k less250 sq ft smaller$38 lower per sq ftNeeds significant TLC

This property on Franklin Street sold for a much lower price, but the photos reveal it needs a lot of work, with dated finishes and visible maintenance needs throughout. In contrast, 503 Kenmore Avenue has been fully modernized with new systems, a new roof, and a fresh interior. The price premium for the home for sale is well-justified by the move-in ready condition and the extensive list of upgrades that this sold home lacks.

Bottom line
While the Franklin Street home was cheaper, 503 Kenmore Avenue is the better choice for anyone wanting a worry-free, fully updated home.

403 Ridley Street

Sold Jan 30, 2026
Sold for $47k more284 sq ft smaller$70 higher per sq ftNew construction vs. full rebuild

Comparing the home for sale to this brand-new construction on Ridley Street highlights what a strong value 503 Kenmore Avenue is. Even though the Ridley Street home is brand new, it is smaller and sold for a higher total price and a much higher cost per square foot. The home for sale provides that same new home peace of mind thanks to its total rebuild, but with more space and historic character.

Bottom line
503 Kenmore Avenue offers a similar new feel to this construction but with more square footage and a more attractive price tag.
