Historic William Lee House in Charlotte Listed for $4.2 Million After Extensive Restoration
The William Lee House, a historic property in Charlotte, North Carolina, has been listed for sale at $4.2 million. This four-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom home, situated on a 2.34-acre parcel, is notable for its rich history dating back over 200 years. Recent renovations have sparked interest among historians, suggesting the house may be older than its previously believed 1828 construction date. The restoration revealed architectural details, such as mortise and tenon joints, indicating a possible original build date in the late 1790s. The property, which has had only six owners, retains many of its original features, including hand-hewn floors and fireplace mantels. The home is one of the few remaining historic structures in Charlotte, a city known for replacing older buildings with new developments.
