About this home

Step into the timeless charm of 202 S Oak Street, where historic character meets thoughtful modern updates on a rare and oversized .62-acre in-town property. Comprised of two combined lots, this exceptional homesite offers a backyard far larger than most city properties, complete with partial fencing and abundant space for entertaining, gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying added privacy. This beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath home showcases original hardwood floors, 10-foot ceilings, picture molding, and a striking ventless gas fireplace featuring the home's original coal grate. Adding even more versatility, the property includes approximately 1,490 heated semi-finished square feet in the fully conditioned basement. The extensively renovated kitchen (2022) features new cabinetry, countertops, appliances, beadboard backsplash, and an exterior-vented hood. A formal dining room and spacious laundry room—with updated plumbing and electrical—provide both charm and functionality. The original cellar was transformed into a conditioned basement in 2022 with new windows, concrete flooring, and exterior access, creating exceptional storage and future expansion opportunities. The newly completed upstairs primary suite (2025) offers a private retreat with two walk-in closets and a beautifully designed tiled walk-in shower with dual shower heads, thoughtfully crafted to complement the home's historic details. Major system updates include two HVAC systems with new furnaces, air conditioners, and ductwork, updated PEX plumbing, all-Romex wiring, new lighting and ceiling fans throughout, and restored original windows that have been reglazed and re-hung. Outside, you'll find numerous additional improvements, including gutter guards, motion-activated security lighting with cameras, a SimpliSafe security system, a 30-amp RV hookup, a utility room with exterior access, and an impressive 20' x 30' three-bay garage built in 2023 with 12-foot sidewalls. Offering the perfect blend of historic charm, modern convenience, and an exceptionally large city lot, this one-of-a-kind property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places while not being subject to the restrictions of the Statesville Historic District.
