An 1875 Farmhouse on 6 Acres in Advance, on the National Register, $399,900
2177 N.C. Highway 801 S., Advance, Davie County
The John Edward Belle Shutt House
National Register of Historic Places
- $399,900
- 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1,526 square feet, 5.9 acres
- Price/square foot: $262
- Built in 1885
- Listed January 12, 2026
- Last sales: $256,000, December 2022; $200,000, July 2022
- Neighborhood: Located just south of Advance, 5.3 miles south of I-40, Exit 180.
- Note: The property includes five outbuildings, fruit trees, a chicken run and coop and a small creek/branch.
- “A fully furnished tiny home is included and permitted as an accessory building with its own septic tank, offering flexible guest or supplemental living space.”
- The listing says seven mini-split systems have been installed. How the interior components of the systems fit into the rustic look of the house is an intriguing question, but none are visible in the listing’s interior photos (a couple of the exterior photos show the outside units).
“The J.E.B. Shutt House, a typically conservative dwelling, blends delayed architectural details of Greek Revival and simple Italianate in the 1885 block with simple Queen Anne detail in the 1905 block. As such, the J.E.B. Shutt house personifies the traditional farmhouses of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and relates to their characteristics in general form and detail.
“The house is also a reflection of J.E.B. Shutt’s craft in that while the 1891 extension of the Southern Railroad allowed more access to manufactured goods, including mass-produced millwork, he elected to produce the woodwork for his new addition in his shop.
“Although J.E.B. Shutt was not a trained architect, evidence shows he had some knowledge of the architectural fashions of the day. This is exemplified by the entrance hall staircase which reflects the craftsmanship of J.E.B. Shutt while conveying his effort to achieve style.”

- Note: The 2024 listing showed 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.
The restoration required immense work, and it looks well done. But the price per square foot is wildly beyond anything seen in the neighborhood. It even would be high for an Irving Park mansion.

Its irregular plan is marked by numerous projecting bays covered by gables extending from a central high hip roof, all of standing seam tin. The tall corbeled interior chimneys and shingled gable ends are further links to the Queen Anne style.”

- Neighborhood: Located about a mile and a half south of Eden.

The house apparently has had only two or three owners. The property was part of a larger tract bought in 1931 by brothers James Frank King (1884-1962) and Edward Burdette King (1875-1940), founders of the Leaksville Light & Power Company. J. Frank bought Edward’s interest in 1936. His widow, Katie Millner King (1891-1980) sold the property in 1965.
The property was part of more than 130 acres bought in November 1965 by Lonnie Leo Pulliam (1920-2015) and Espie Marie Lawson Pulliam (1925-2016). Their sons sold this property to the current owners. Born in King, Lonnie was a graduate of Draughon’s Business College and an Army veteran of World War II. He worked for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. until returning to North Carolina as vice president of People’s Bank in Rocky Mount in 1960. In 1963 he became president of the the Leaksville Bank & Trust.

His pioneering medical-journal articles from the 1940s to 1970s brought the device into wide use.

Blog post (2018) — Classic House of the Week: A Fine Example of 1920s Westerwood Elegance, $339,500
- $719,000 (originally $339,500)
- 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2,337 square feet, 0.22 acre

- Built in 1926 (per county, but probably a few years earlier; see note)
- Listed May 8, 2018
- Last sale: $295,000, June 2006
- Neighborhood: Westerwood
The price is now twice as expensive as it was when it failed to sell in 2018. This is the fourth time since 2011 that the owners have tried to sell the house, which is odd in Westerwood, an especially popular neighborhood.
The property was bought in 1920 by Dr. Hugh C. Wolfe (1892-1957). He and Ann Elizabeth Bagley Wolfe (1890-1980) were listed at the address in the 1921 city directory. Ann sold the house in 1961. By 1940 they had moved to the newer Starmount Forest neighborhood. They converted the house into apartments, and it remained so for more than 40 years.

The Yancey House Restaurant occupied the house from 2006 to 2012. The house apparently has been unoccupied since then. A larger development was planned in 2004 but didn’t happen. Outbuildings include a smokehouse, tobacco packhouse, barn, remnants of the original law office and a modern event pavilion. The property also includes the Yancey family cemetery.
Bartlett Yancey (1785-1828) was a lawyer, congressman and state senator. “The stylish features of the earliest phase hold importance, but it is the decorative features of the 1856 portion of the house that have statewide, if not national, significance as having been created by the workshop of Milton-based cabinetmaker Thomas Day.”
