938 Hargrove Street

Henderson, NC 27536

A Rare Blend of History, Space, and Possibility — Welcome to 938 Hargrove Street! Set on 2.5 acres just steps from Henderson's walkable downtown, this stately Colonial Revival offers something incredibly rare: the kind of architectural presence that feels rooted in history, with the space, updates, and flexibility to grow into whatever you need next. Built in 1945, this home stands tall in both style and substance. The high ceilings, traditional brass details, and original hardwood floors speak to its legacy, while the newly renovated kitchen and refreshed interior make it more livable than ever. It's not a flip. It's not a project you'll spend years untangling. It's a well-loved home with character and care — and now, with the big-ticket items being handled for you. Inside, you'll find more than 4,800 square feet of space, including four true bedrooms, a den, and a large bonus room that can flex as a fifth bedroom, studio, playroom, or second office. There are three full bathrooms and a half bath. The main level flows beautifully for both everyday life and entertaining. A formal dining room offers room for big holiday meals, while the cozy den makes a perfect library, office, or reading retreat. The living room is bright and inviting, with original detailing and views of the expansive grounds. The brand-new kitchen features quartz countertops, and plenty of space to cook and gather. The upstairs bedrooms are generously sized. The flexibility of the layout is ideal for multi-generational living, working from home, or simply spreading out. Downstairs, the basement is ready for whatever vision you bring — whether that's a home gym, creative studio, workshop, or additional living space. Waterproofing is scheduled and will be completed prior to closing, giving you peace of mind and a clean slate to work with. The existing bathroom is there, but hasn't been used and will need updating if reactivated. And the roof? It's brand new. A full replacement with lifetime shingles was just completed- a $30,000 upgrade. One of the biggest expenses in home ownership is already off the table. Outside, this home is just as special. The 2.5-acre lot offers mature trees, tons of privacy, and your own full-size tennis court — a standout feature that sets this property apart. Whether you're hosting friends, raising kids, or just enjoying the space, the large covered patio and rolling lawn create a sense of ease and possibility. Just minutes from downtown Henderson, this home offers easy access to local favorites like restaurants, a coffee shop, a beloved library, and a community music hall. You're close to hospitals, schools, and freeway access — far enough for quiet, close enough for convenience. For recreation, Henderson Country Club is just 6 minutes away with newly updated greens, and Kerr Lake Country Club is only 13 minutes away. Kerr Lake itself is just 15 minutes from your door, offering boating, fishing, and lakeside relaxation. With a wraparound driveway perfect for boat parking and no HOA, you have flexibility without restrictions- just how it should be. This home is for someone who wants a home with presence — something substantial, not cookie-cutter. It's for someone who values space and character, but doesn't want to get buried in never-ending projects. For someone who wants to live close to community and culture — but on their own terms (no HOA). This is the kind of home that rarely becomes available — because homes like this don't get built anymore. And when they do hit the market, they often require overwhelming renovation or lack the updates today's buyers need. But here, the work has been started for you — and the stage has been set. You're not just buying square footage. You're buying space, legacy, and possibility.
