This is a rare opportunity to become the third steward of this remarkable home. You won’t be its owner; you will become its steward because it is remarkable indeed! Built in 1938, the house was designed by prominent Charlotte architect Charles W Connelly and shares many of the hallmarks of his early work which include a distinctive large entrance door pediment, slate roof, second story horizonal siding and a delicate colonnaded side entrance. Commissioned by Troy physician Dr. William Harris this Georgian inspired house contains so many beautiful details they are too numerous to list. As you enter the house through a lovely foyer, you step down into a large living room with a caduceus embellished fireplace honoring the doctor’s medical profession. A preservationist's dream, the house is filled with many details, unchanged and original. Intricate crown moldings in both the living and dining room, a lovely staircase with a delicate balustrade, a round window, a warm and welcoming study are just a few of the elements that make it unique. The original kitchen, with its enameled tiles harkens back to a European feel but awaits your creative re-do. The three full baths upstairs are clad in original tile built with quality that has stood the test of time. A large primary bedroom addition, built in 1985 and accessed from the study hallway, mirrors the quality of the original house in its details and affords comfortable one level living. It includes both a his and her bathroom with individual walk-in closets. Although elegant in its appearance, the house is more than a showplace, with five bedrooms and six full baths it is a house to be lived in and loved as it has been in the past. A new HVAC system was installed in 2024 and new copper guttering was installed to replace the original and to complement the slate roof. The house is beautifully situated on a double lot nestled among mature trees in a parklike setting. Several brick, slate roofed outbuildings designed to complement the main house include a greenhouse, smoke house and a larger building most recently used for processing honey. A lush private backyard and a charming slate courtyard garden space accessed from the back of the house help to create this memorable and one-of-a-kind home. Situated on a quiet street you are within easy walking distance of Troy Elementary school, the hospital and Troy’s charming downtown district
