About the home

Iconic Main Street Davidson living with a private in-ground pool, exceptional historic character, and an unbeatable location adjoining Davidson College. This circa early-1900s Colonial Revival is a recognized contributing historic building and offers the rare opportunity to own a true piece of Davidson history within an easy stroll of downtown. From the moment you arrive, the wraparound porch, classical columns, and pedimented entry set the tone for a home filled with timeless architectural details. Inside, a dramatic staircase anchors the center-hall floor plan, while original hardwood floors, pocket doors, seven fireplaces with period mantels, beautiful woodwork, built-ins, and beadboard ceilings preserve the character that makes this home so special. The main-level primary suite includes an ensuite bath and attached true study, with the flexibility to expand the primary suite into adjoining space. The thoughtfully updated kitchen features quality wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and a classic design that complements the home's history. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms and a full bath provide plenty of room for family, guests, or flexible living. Step outside to enjoy the best of Davidson living. The large, recently redone back deck creates an ideal setting for entertaining, while the private in-ground pool with a new liner offers a rare amenity for a Main Street property. The home also offers exceptional storage, including generous bedroom closets, a walk-in primary closet, pantry and linen storage, attic access, and additional storage areas. Major updates include the roof (2012/2013), HVAC (2013/2014), and furnace (2018). The location is truly exceptional—adjoining Davidson College and less than half a mile from the town green, restaurants, shops, library, and downtown Davidson. For those who appreciate architectural character, walkability, and the opportunity to enjoy a private pool in the heart of town, this is a rare Davidson offering.
