Victorian

Step into a rare piece of Cherryville history at 207 W Academy Street—an early 20th-century home originally built in 1910, thoughtfully reimagined for today’s lifestyle while preserving its timeless character. Situated just moments from the charm of downtown, this residence reflects a period when craftsmanship, detail, and gracious living defined home design. Homes along Academy Street were known for their architectural presence and walkable proximity to the town center. This home showcases elements of the Victorian / Queen Anne Free Classic style, including its welcoming wraparound porch and classic proportions—beautifully restored and brought forward for modern living. A standout feature of the renovation is the recreation of the upper level, thoughtfully added back to reflect the home’s original design—restoring both function and architectural integrity. Enter off the front wraparound porch through the original Solid, beveled glass front door where inside, historic charm meets elevated design with 10 foot ceilings throughout most of the home and original heart-of-pine and oak hardwood flooring. The front living area parlor welcomes you with an original fireplace surround adorned with mosaic tile surrounding the carved mantle, a true focal point and preserved piece of the home’s history. Just beyond, the dining room showcases a preserved tin coffered ceiling, offering a stunning nod to the craftsmanship of the era. An original beveled glass window centered on the west wall diffuses light in a cascade of rainbow prisms. The heart of the home is an enormous, fully modernized kitchen, beautifully designed with striking green cabinetry, upscale stainless appliances, Calcutta quartz counters, pot filler at the cooktop and ample space for gathering and entertaining around the large kitchen island. Adjacent, a vaulted-ceiling butler pantry and wet bar with Calcutta Maze quartz adds both character and functionality, while the adjacent main-level laundry room provides everyday convenience with quartz folding counter. The primary suite on the main level offers a private retreat, complete with a spa-inspired ensuite featuring vaulted ceilings, a large tiled walk-in shower, a soaking tub, and double shaver's height vanity topped with "leathered quartz"—perfectly blending comfort with luxurious features. The walk-in closet is built perfectly for anyone wanting stylish touches, custom designed. The separate water closet adds much privacy. Upstairs, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed second living area once a "sleeping porch"—ideal for relaxing or entertaining. This versatile space includes a built-in office nook tucked behind doors and an adjacent charming library area, creating flexibility for today’s lifestyle needs. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath with double vanity topped with quartz counters. One bedroom has a large window seat, full wall of built-in cabinets and storage. Set on a generous homesite, this property offers room to enjoy outdoor living while embracing the charm of a historic neighborhood. The rear brick paver patio offers an additional outdoor living space, spanning an impressive 23 x 25 feet—perfect for entertaining and gathering. Every detail of this home reflects a careful balance—honoring its past while delivering the updates and layout of today’s buyer's desire.
