About this home
Welcome to a truly rare offering in the heart of Hickory — a residence rich in character, history, and timeless appeal, now presented with a substantial price improvement and the added benefit of an adjoining 1.25-acre lot that conveys with the property. Whether you choose to build, hold, or sell, this additional parcel creates exceptional flexibility and long-term value seldom found in an in-town setting.
Known as The Lavitt Legacy Estate, this historically significant home was originally built by Paul and Pauline Lavitt, founders of Paul Lavitt Mills, whose company became a cornerstone of North Carolina’s textile and legwear industry. Their legacy of craftsmanship, innovation, and community leadership is reflected throughout the home, which stands today as a beautiful bridge between Hickory’s storied past and the comforts of modern living.
Set across approximately 2.5 total acres including the additional lot, the property offers a private estate atmosphere within one of Hickory’s most desirable districts. Mature hardwoods, thoughtfully designed gardens, and a graceful blend of classic architecture with modern updates create a setting that feels both refined and welcoming.
Inside, the renovation carefully preserves original character while introducing contemporary functionality. Updated bathrooms feature high-end finishes with period-inspired touches, including a distinctive custom barbershop space that adds charm and personality. The light-filled kitchen and living areas showcase restored hardwood floors, updated lighting, and upgraded electrical and plumbing systems. Modern enhancements such as a whole-house water filtration system, tankless water heaters, and a Level 2 EV charger provide comfort and efficiency for today’s lifestyle.
The grounds were reimagined by Linda Greenberg Landscape & Design, resulting in a sophisticated outdoor environment with curated plantings, raised garden beds, smart irrigation, and year-round visual interest — perfectly complementing the home’s historic presence.
This is more than a residence; it is a meaningful piece of Hickory’s heritage thoughtfully updated for modern living. With close proximity to downtown, medical facilities, and cultural amenities, the estate offers a rare combination of privacy, history, and convenience — an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking authenticity without compromise.
Select furnishings and artwork are available for purchase.
