Abundant natural lightBeautifully proportioned living spacesThoroughly updated throughout
A rare opportunity to own one of Charlotte's most significant historic residences, the Bishop John C. Kilgo House is a distinguished architectural landmark prominently sited along The Plaza in the heart of Plaza Midwood. Designed by renowned architect Louis H. Asbury and completed in 1915 as the residence of Bishop John C. Kilgo, former president of Trinity College (now Duke University), the home beautifully blends Colonial Revival elegance with Craftsman influences, creating a residence of exceptional character and enduring appeal.
Thoroughly updated throughout, the home masterfully marries contemporary design with historic integrity. Thoughtful renovations preserve the craftsmanship, proportions, and architectural details that define the property while introducing modern finishes, systems, and amenities that complement today's lifestyle. The result is a home that feels both timeless and remarkably livable.
Grand yet welcoming, the residence offers beautifully proportioned living spaces, abundant natural light, and an effortless flow for both everyday living and entertaining. Original architectural details—including rich millwork, gracious staircases, expansive windows, and period fireplaces—have been carefully preserved, while every update has been executed with a respect for the home's remarkable history.
Set on a prominent corner lot with mature landscaping, this iconic residence offers a rare chance to become the next steward of one of Charlotte's treasured historic homes—where more than a century of history meets sophisticated modern living.
