The property sold for an undisclosed price.
Donald Gilchrist and Nathan McElroy, investment specialists in the firm’s Raleigh office, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller. The buyer, a small investment fund out of North Carolina, was represented by Greg Marks of Triland Properties.
