About this home
This exquisite 1924 Neoclassical home beautifully marries timeless architectural character with contemporary luxury. Per seller, the home was originally built for Frederick A. Thompson, personal accountant to the Broyhill family, who selected its Neoclassical design. Nearly a century later, many of the distinctive details that defined the home remain beautifully preserved.
Original picture molding graces the dining room, living room, sitting room/bar and sunroom, while the original marble fireplace and mantel remain in remarkable condition. Five crystal chandeliers add another layer of period elegance, casting prisms of color throughout the rooms in the late-afternoon light. Stained hardwood floors, intricate crown molding and thoughtfully selected wallcoverings further complement the home’s historic character.
The exterior makes an equally impressive statement with a newly installed Ludowici clay tile roof with decorative accents, complemented by new copper gutters and downspouts. Over the past 6–7 years, the home has undergone more than $500,000 in improvements, per seller, carefully balancing preservation with modern comfort. Updates include completely new plumbing, replacement of the former knob-and-tube wiring, upgraded 200-amp electrical service, three new heat pumps with all-new ductwork and R-30 attic insulation.
The fully renovated kitchen offers modern appliances and fixtures, while the primary bath provides a luxurious retreat with a 70-inch acrylic air soaking tub and beautifully tiled shower. Additional bathrooms have been remodeled with updated cabinetry, sinks and fixtures. Conveniently located off the kitchen, the family room features a striking fireplace surround with wrapped beams that adds warmth and architectural interest.
Outside, mature landscaping creates a private garden setting designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. Japanese plum, fig and crepe myrtle trees mingle with roses, azaleas, colorful perennials and culinary herbs. A pergola provides an inviting place to relax and enjoy the established gardens.
Located near downtown Lenoir with convenient access to Highway 321, the property offers small-town living within easy reach of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Blowing Rock and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Rich in history, architectural detail and thoughtful modern improvements, this remarkable property offers something increasingly difficult to replicate: the character and craftsmanship of a 1924 Neoclassical home paired with the substantial updates and comforts expected today....
