Welcome to this stunning historic home with a story to tell. This rare opportunity to own a piece of Lincoln County history begins with its origin story: Originally ordered from the Sears & Roebuck Catalog, this home was brought to Lincolnton by train and completed in 1910. Now, this magnificent home offers the charm and character of yesteryear with modern amenities for today's discerning homeowner.
This 3217 square foot home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 and a half bathrooms, all nestled within the city limits of Lincolnton. The original pine flooring runs throughout the home, with crown molding adding to the classic elegance of each room.
The main floor is both spacious and welcoming, featuring a large foyer that flows seamlessly into a family room complete with a working wood fireplace. The primary bedroom is also on the main floor, boasting an ensuite bathroom with a jet soaking tub, separate tile shower, heated tile flooring, towel warming rack, and a grand walk-in closet.
A formal dining room is accented by a bay window, working fireplace, and a beautiful medallion ceiling. The kitchen and breakfast room are equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a swinging door to the dining room, another working fireplace, and a dry bar with cabinets and a pantry.
The laundry room includes a pull-down ironing board, utility sink, folding station, and a large storage room. Media speakers are installed throughout the downstairs for your entertainment needs.
Upstairs, you'll find two large bedrooms both with large walk-in closets, a Jack & Jill bathroom with a tile shower, a TV room, an office, and ample floored attic space for storage.
Outside, a 2-car garage with a large storage closet and an irrigation system add to the convenience of this property. The covered patio with brick flooring offers a comfortable spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
