About this home
Step into history with this stunning 1906 Craftsman featuring five bedrooms, two primary suites, and eight original decorative fireplaces in the sought-after York-Chester Historic District.
This beautifully restored home blends timeless architectural character with thoughtful modern updates and major structural improvements, offering both charm and peace of mind.
The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and built-in cabinetry, creating a perfect balance of historic elegance and everyday functionality. Original craftsmanship is showcased throughout, with carved mantelpieces, rich hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, and extensive custom molding that reflect the home’s early-20th-century design.
This spacious residence offers 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, including two primary suites — one on the main level and one upstairs — providing exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, guests, or work-from-home needs. The main-level primary suite includes a dressing room with abundant storage and organization, creating a private and functional retreat.
Eight original decorative fireplaces are featured throughout the home, including in each of the five bedrooms, as well as the dining room and living room — a rare architectural feature that highlights the home’s rich history and craftsmanship.
Natural light fills the home through large windows, enhancing the spacious living areas and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout. The layout offers multiple gathering spaces, including formal living and dining rooms, as well as comfortable areas for everyday living and entertaining.
Significant improvements completed by the sellers include foundation stabilization with the installation of eight piers, rebuilding a section of the foundation wall, crawl space improvements, including a commercial dehumidifier and sump pump, and a newer roof installed in 2021, providing long-term value and added confidence for buyers.
Located in the heart of the York-Chester Historic District, this home is just minutes from the revitalized FUSE District, CaroMont Health Park, and approximately 20 minutes from Charlotte Douglas International Airport, offering convenient access to dining, entertainment, and travel.
A rare opportunity to own a true piece of Gastonia history — where character, space, and location come together....
