Welcome to a 1929 bungalow home located in downtown Mount Airy. Slow your pace as you walk to Wally's Service Station and spend an idyllic afternoon wandering around Mayberry. Then enjoy some time on the porch swing, watching cars go by.

The home has two bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms. It is listed on the NC Historic Register. Originally owned by E.Q. Benbow, who owned the downtown theater, the stately bungalow features a large porch and porte-cochere with large brick columns.
