This property is a unique restoration of a former 1929 Sinclair Station, repurposed into a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home. Located at the gateway to downtown Albemarle, NC, and only three blocks from the town square, this house offers unique elements built within the original 1929 building shell. The exterior combines historic and new stucco, brick, and Hardie board siding. The exterior includes Sinclair-style signage and a gas pump.
The front doors and windows are original and restored. All other windows are new and insulated. Inside, custom doors feature transoms, and several doors are repurposed historic pieces. A large foyer greets visitors. Most of the concrete on the property is new.
The main living space features 12.5-foot ceilings and includes the den, dining, and kitchen areas. The kitchen features custom cabinets, quartz countertops, and a tile backsplash, centered around a large island made from 100-year-old hardware store fixtures. This space opens with three large, glass-insulated garage doors to an outdoor patio.
The home has two primary bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom. The first bedroom (11-foot ceiling) has an open sitting area. Its tiled bath includes a walk-in shower and a floor urinal. Opens to covered patio The second bedroom (10-foot ceiling) offers a walk-in closet, laundry room, and a tiled bath with a double shower and double sinks.
The house has three separate HVAC systems and is insulated with spray foam in the walls and rafters.
Outdoor spaces include a large covered porte-cochère with a tin-pressed ceiling and a screened-in porch, overlooking a fenced-in backyard. The roof structure is new, featuring metal green barrel tile, architectural shingles, and TPO.
All infrastructure is new: interior walls, electrical, mechanical systems, and plumbing. For utilities, new gas lines, water lines, and sewer lines were run from the street to the house. All utilities are buried. Environmental assessments were completed, and the tanks were removed. The property has the potential to be divided into a second lot or used for an Auxiliary Dwelling Unit (ADU).
