Property Description
Welcome to 938 Hargrove Street — a rare blend of history, space, and modern flexibility. Set on 2.5 private acres just outside the heart of Henderson's walkable downtown, this stately 1945 Colonial Revival offers architectural presence and property size that simply don't exist in newer homes. With just under 4,800 total square feet — including the basement — this home includes four true bedrooms, a den, and a large bonus room that can flex as a fifth bedroom, studio, second office, or hobby space. There are three full bathrooms and a half bath, with a layout ideal for multi-generational living, remote work, or simply spreading out. The main level includes a formal dining room, cozy den, and a bright living room overlooking the grounds. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops and a thoughtful layout perfect for daily living and entertaining. High ceilings, original hardwood floors, built-ins, and traditional brass hardware highlight the home's character, while fresh paint and updates make it move-in ready. This isn't a flip, and it isn't a fixer upper — it's a solid, character-filled home with soul, structure, and room to make it your own. Upstairs, bedrooms are generously sized and filled with natural light. The walk-out basement includes over 1,300 square feet of functioning flex space with basic improvements. A full bathroom exists in the basement but has not been used and would need renovation to reactivate. The basement does have water intrusion; a professional waterproofing quote of $17,000 is available, and that cost is reflected in the list price. The roof was recently replaced — a $30,000 investment — with lifetime shingles, removing one of the biggest homeowner expenses. Outside, enjoy a full-size tennis court, large covered patio, mature trees, and a large lawn. A wraparound driveway provides ample parking for vehicles, boats, or trailers. No HOA, and based on current zoning, small livestock like goats or chickens may be allowed (buyer to confirm). Just minutes from Henderson's downtown core, the home offers easy access to a growing collection of local gems — including a coffee shop, music hall, beloved library, and a few charming restaurants and shops. The area continues to evolve with new energy and community investment, offering a sense of possibility and small-town connection. Six minutes to Henderson Country Club, 13 to Kerr Lake Country Club, and only 15 to Kerr Lake itself — perfect for boating, fishing, or lake weekends without the waterfront price. Roughly 50 minutes to Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU). High-speed internet available. For out-of-town buyers, this is a rare chance to secure privacy, space, and character — without HOA rules or major renovations. Homes like this don't just check boxes — they stay in families for generations. That's why they rarely hit the market, and why they don't last when they do. This is for someone who wants a home with presence — something substantial, not cookie-cutter. For someone who values space and charm, without the burden of endless projects. This is the kind of home that no longer gets built — and now it's ready for its next chapter. You're not just buying square footage. You're buying legacy, freedom, and potential. If you've been waiting for the right balance of character, value, and readiness — this is your moment.
