A
AMY AND DAVE SMITH
were having a beer at a Haymount
bar one Sunday aernoon when they
started talking about how nice it would
be to live in the area.
e couple picked up their phones
and scrolled through property listings.
ey saw a house they liked and began
calling real estate agents. One, Jennifer
Lockart, said she'd meet them at the
house in 10 minutes.
A few weeks later, in the early spring
of 2016, the Smiths le their 9-year-old
home in Hope Mills for the 76-year-old
home they'd found in Haymount.
eir 2300-square-foot Hope Mills
home had been open, airy and modern
but both it and the neighborhood felt
a little cookie-cutter to the Smiths,
who are Air Force service members
stationed at Fort Bragg.
"We wanted something with a little
more character," Dave said.
e couple loved historic Haymount,
with its bohemian jumble of styles, its
neighborhood feel, its cozy business
district and its proximity to downtown,
where they already spent a lot of their
free time.
And they loved their new house,
especially its possibilities.
e 2000-square-foot wood-frame
home had plenty to recommend it,
including three bedrooms, all upstairs,
a large family room that had been
added to the rear of the house, two
fireplaces, a basement, a carport, a
raised brick terrace, a detached garage
and workshop and a big yard, as well as
its Haymount location.
It also had an interesting tie to local
history having been the longtime home
of the late F.D. Byrd Jr., who headed
the Cumberland County schools for 27
years. Douglas Byrd Middle School and
Douglas Byrd High School are named
for him.
