About this home
Discover one of Hickory’s most historically significant and beautifully renewed residences — The Lavitt Legacy Estate, a timeless home that perfectly bridges the city’s storied past with the sophistication of modern luxury living. Built by Paul and Pauline Lavitt, founders of Paul Lavitt Mills, this home stands as a testament to craftsmanship, leadership, and community heritage. The Lavitts’ textile company became a cornerstone of North Carolina’s legwear industry, employing hundreds and gaining national recognition for innovation and environmental stewardship. Their residence, built with the same precision and pride that defined their business, represents the enduring standards of an era when quality and community went hand in hand.
Set on the original homesite plus an additional adjoining lot, for a total of 2.5 acres, the property now forms a rare in-town sanctuary—an expansive, private estate feel nestled within Hickory’s most desirable district. Mature hardwoods, professionally curated gardens, and a seamless blend of old-world architecture with contemporary comforts create a lifestyle unmatched in the region.
Inside, the home’s renovation honors its rich character while delivering every modern convenience. Remodeled bathrooms provide a perfect balance of high-end fixtures with period-inspired details that respect the home’s origins. One bathroom has been artfully converted into a custom barbershop, a conversation-worthy space that celebrates classic style. The kitchen and living areas embrace open, natural light, featuring restored hardwoods, modern lighting, and updated electrical and plumbing systems that bring 21st-century reliability to a historic setting. A whole-house water filtration system and tankless water heaters ensure efficiency and comfort, while a Level 2 EV charging station provides readiness for today’s electric vehicles.
The landscape transformation, designed by Linda Greenberg Landscape & Design—a Charleston-based firm featured in Homes & Gardens and Charleston Home + Design—further enhances the estate’s appeal. The result is a timeless, sophisticated outdoor living environment with lush plantings, elevated garden beds for accessibility, a smart irrigation system, and year-round seasonal interest. The balance between elegance and sustainability is apparent at every turn. This is more than a beautifully restored home—it’s a living piece of Hickory’s heritage, reimagined for the modern buyer who values both authenticity and refinement. Few homes offer this blend of architectural integrity, privacy, and proximity to Hickory’s downtown amenities, medical centers, and cultural attractions. For those relocating from larger metropolitan markets, this estate represents extraordinary value and a rare opportunity to own a piece of North Carolina history—without sacrificing contemporary luxury or convenience.
Every inch of this residence speaks to thoughtful preservation and intentional enhancement. The Lavitt Legacy is not just a home—it’s a story, a statement, and a sanctuary. Many furnishings and artwork are available for purchase as well.
