About this House

Welcome to 115 Brackett Street—an extraordinary opportunity to own a true piece of North Carolina history. Known as the Etta Baker Estate, this property is the original homeplace of legendary Piedmont blues musician Etta Baker, whose influence shaped generations of American music.

Born in Caldwell County and raised in Morganton, Etta Baker became one of the most celebrated traditional blues guitarists of the 20th century, inspiring artists such as Bob Dylan and Taj Mahal with her distinctive fingerstyle sound. Her music, rooted deeply in the culture and spirit of the Appalachian region, continues to resonate around the world today.

This home is more than a residence—it is a legacy. The very grounds carry the story of a woman whose life, music, and perseverance left a lasting mark on American heritage. For the discerning buyer who values authenticity, culture, and historical significance, this property offers a rare chance to preserve and be part of that story.

Whether envisioned as a private residence, a curated restoration, or a tribute to its rich musical roots, 115 Brackett Street invites you to step into history and carry it forward.

Opportunities like this are exceedingly rare—where place, provenance, and purpose come together in one meaningful offering.
