Property Description

Welcome to one of Charlotte’s most historically significant and architecturally preserved residences, gracefully positioned on over 2.33 private acres in the SouthPark area. Originally dating to the early 1800s, this landmark estate, known as The William Lee House, has been meticulously restored and expanded to integrate its original structure with modern living spaces. Spanning approximately 7,400-plus square feet, the residence offers four bedrooms and five full bathrooms plus additional half baths. The home reflects early American construction methods, with preserved architectural elements including hand-hewn wood flooring, multiple original fireplaces, exposed structural components and historic millwork. These features have been carefully maintained and incorporated into a comprehensive renovation that supports contemporary living while retaining the integrity of the original residence. The award-winning expansion was designed to complement the historic structure while relocating modern systems and primary living functions into newer construction. This approach allows the original home to remain intact while providing the scale and functionality expected in a residence of this size. The layout includes multiple formal and informal living areas, a kitchen designed for both daily use and entertaining, and a series of interconnected gathering spaces that create flexibility for a range of lifestyles. The property’s setting offers a combination of privacy and accessibility, with mature landscaping, open lawn areas, and a natural buffer that separates the residence from surrounding properties. Outdoor features include a pool, pool house, and additional space suitable for entertaining or future customization. The grounds support both large-scale use and more private residential enjoyment. Located within close proximity to Charlotte’s primary retail, dining, and business districts, the property provides access to SouthPark amenities while maintaining a distinct residential setting. The William Lee House is a designated Charlotte historic landmark. The designation may qualify for a property tax deferment program, subject to buyer verification and compliance with applicable guidelines. This offering represents a rare opportunity to acquire a historically documented residence with preserved architectural integrity, expanded living space, and a location within one of Charlotte’s most established areas.
