Property Description
Built in 1900, 505 Riverside has stood the test of time and is ready for someone with the vision to bring its original beauty back to life. This is not a move-in-ready home—it is a true restoration opportunity—but many of the historic details that make a house like this special are still waiting to be uncovered.
Inside, you'll find two bedrooms, two bathrooms, soaring 10-foot ceilings and a spacious kitchen. The dining room offers flexible possibilities as a potential third bedroom, home office or additional living space. Original hardwood floors have already been discovered beneath layers of old shag carpeting, while the home's original baseboards and crown molding remain intact. Behind the dated wall paneling is vertical shiplap, and the small ceiling tiles may be concealing even more original woodwork.
All of the original windows remain and will need TLC, but they are another important piece of the home's historic character. Over the years, the house has been altered and covered up—but it has not lost its story.
Outside, the welcoming front porch and magnificent live oak shading the front yard create the kind of Southern charm that cannot be manufactured. Centrally located in Pineville and just steps from the Red River, this property could become a distinctive primary residence, investment property or memorable Airbnb.
Bring your contractor, your creativity and your appreciation for old homes. With the right restoration, 505 Riverside could once again become the shining star it was meant to be.
