About this home
Built in 1892 and recognized on the National Register of Historic Places, this remarkable Victorian is more than a home. It is a piece of Morganton's history, thoughtfully preserved and beautifully enhanced for modern living. A wraparound porch welcomes you inside, where soaring ceilings, original wood floors, marble and stone accents, pocket doors, and multiple fireplaces reflect the craftsmanship of another era. Gracious formal rooms invite lively gatherings and quiet conversation alike, while the library, study, and beautifully restored dining room offer spaces filled with warmth and character. At the heart of the home, the fully renovated kitchen blends timeless style with modern function, featuring custom cabinetry, quality appliances, generous workspace, and finishes that complement the home's historic architecture rather than compete with it. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms continue the home's story with abundant natural light, distinctive architectural details, and beautifully updated baths. Every improvement has been made with respect for the home's heritage, including a new Presidential shingle roof, comprehensive crawl space encapsulation, electrical upgrades, kitchen renovation, landscaping, and numerous mechanical improvements that provide confidence without sacrificing authenticity. Outside, the beautifully landscaped 0.76-acre lot feels like a private garden in the heart of downtown Morganton, complete with a fire pit, mature trees, and inviting outdoor spaces designed for entertaining or quiet evenings under the stars. A detached two-car garage, sidewalks, and easy access to downtown restaurants, breweries, shops, and community events complete an offering that is rarely found. For those who appreciate historic homes, timeless architecture, and the opportunity to own one of Morganton's landmark residences, this is a home that will be admired for generations.
