This is a rare opportunity to become the third steward of this
remarkable home. You won't be its owner; you will become its
steward because it is remarkable indeed! Built in 1938, the
house was designed by prominent Charlotte architect Charles
W Connelly and shares many of the hallmarks of his early work
which include a distinctive large entrance door pediment, slate
roof, second story horizonal siding and a delicate colonnaded
side entrance. Commissioned by Troy physician Dr. William
Harris this Georgian inspired house contains so many beautiful
details they are too numerous to list. As you enter the house
through a lovely foyer, you step down into a large living room
with a caduceus embellished fireplace honoring the doctor's
medical profession. A preservationist's dream, the house is
filled with many details, unchanged and original. Intricate
crown moldings in both the living and dining room, a lovely
staircase with a delicate balustrade, a round window, a warm
and welcoming study are just a few of the elements that make it
unique. The original kitchen, with its enameled tiles harkens
back to a European feel but awaits your creative re-do. The
three full baths upstairs are clad in original tile built with quality
that has stood the test of time. A large primary bedroom
addition, built in 1985 and accessed from the study hallway,
mirrors the quality of the original house in its details and
affords comfortable one level living. It includes both a his and
her bathroom with individual walk-in closets. Although elegant
in its appearance, the house is more than a showplace, with five
bedrooms and six full baths it is a house to be lived in and loved
as it has been in the past. A new HVAC system was installed in
2024 and new copper guttering was installed to replace the
original and to complement the slate roof. The house is
beautifully situated on a double lot nestled among mature trees
in a parklike setting. Several brick, slate roofed outbuildings
designed to complement the main house include a greenhouse,
smoke house and a larger building most recently used for
processing honey. A lush private backyard and a charming slate
courtyard garden space accessed from the back of the house
help to create this memorable and one-of-a-kind home.
Situated on a quiet street you are within easy walking distance
of Troy Elementary school, the hospital and Troy's charming
downtown district
