Property Description

Welcome to ''Vine Villa,'' a remarkable 1888 historic residence set on a corner lot in Henderson, NC. With very little alteration from its original appearance, this fifteen-room, two-story clapboard home stands as a rare surviving example of 19th-century craftsmanship — reminiscent of the beloved Mistletoe Villa (constructed 1883-1885), reportedly built from plans by renowned Philadelphia architect Samuel Sloan. Sloan famously designed the North Carolina Governor's Mansion in Raleigh, along with many other notable landmarks across the state. Inside, this grand home offers exceptional character and space, including: 3 bedrooms 2 full baths Formal living room Formal dining room Sitting room Utility room Main-floor flex room that can serve as a 4th bedroom 7 fireplaces Original hardwood floors Historic architectural details remain beautifully preserved — from the wrap-around porch and curved staircase to the pocket doors, pressed tin ceilings, beaded board, and vintage clawfoot tub. The property sits on 1+ acres with mature pecan, oak, and magnolia trees, brick walkways, a grape arbor, and a detached garage. With city water and sewer, modern wiring, gas heat, and storm windows, the home offers essential updates while maintaining its original charm. Additional potential: the generous acreage may offer an opportunity for subdivision (buyer to verify). Vine Villa is more than a home — it's a living piece of Henderson's history with endless potential for restoration, preservation, and renewed beauty.
