The John Aycock House, circa 1890, is a Queen Anne cottage with locally unusual cross gables and bracketed cornice. The porch has been remodeled and the exterior is asbestos veneer. The interior has three fireplaces, six rooms, large kitchen, washer/dryer connections, and unique architectural features.

The house is located down the street from the recently renovated Wilson County Public Library and adjacent to the rapidly growing downtown district. Wilson, NC is a quaint southern town with a growing cultural district. It is home to Theater of the American South, a three-week festival celebrating southern theater as well as home to many free downtown music events.

Wilson’s location is just 40 minutes east of Raleigh, the state capital. It is an hour from the Raleigh-Durham International Airport, two hours from the beach and five hours from the mountains. Wilson’s ideal location puts you on I-95 half-way between Miami and New York and on the North/South Amtrak railroad line.
