Stowe Manor, one of the most iconic properties in Belmont and the greater Charlotte area, is now available for purchase for the first time in its storied 100-year history. The prominent 3-acre property is on one of the highest points in Belmont, just a short walk from the bustling downtown. Designed by noted architect Hugh White, the Renaissance Revival house has many unique features, including 12-foot ceilings on the main level, laundry chute, and central vaccum from 1924! The exceptional materials and craftsmanship are reminiscent of a bygone era. Stowe Manor currently operates as an event venue, but it could transition to a bed/breakfast or private estate. Plenty of land for a pool and outdoor entertaining space. Approved renovations eligible for NC and federal tax credits, depending on use. See list of features and history of home in Media. Inquire with listing agent about subdivision potential - schematic plan for 3 total lots in Media. Listing agent to accompany all showings.
