A rare opportunity to own one of Henderson’s most distinguished architectural homes, beautifully positioned on a private and thoughtfully landscaped 1.15-acre lot. Designed by noted architect Watts Carr, this handsome Georgian residence reflects the permanence, symmetry, and refinement associated with Carr’s best revival-style work. From the Flemish-bond brick exterior, slate roof, copper gutters, and classic proportions to the gracious interior scale, the home offers the kind of craftsmanship and presence that is increasingly difficult to find.

Inside, the residence unfolds with nearly 5,000 square feet of living space, 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, and a floor plan that is both elegant and highly functional. Nine-foot ceilings, heavy moldings, hardwood floors, rich architectural detailing, and three fireplaces create a sense of warmth and formality without sacrificing livability. The main level includes gracious gathering spaces, a formal dining room, a library, a welcoming foyer, and a beautifully scaled kitchen with granite countertops, a center island, updated finishes, and excellent storage.

A first-floor primary suite adds convenience and flexibility, while the additional bedrooms and living areas provide generous room for guests, work-from-home needs, or multi-generational living. The grounds are equally special. The landscape design is attributed to Charles F. Gillette, one of the Upper South’s most respected landscape architects, celebrated for his ability to create formal gardens and outdoor spaces that feel deeply connected to the architecture of a home.

Here, the landscaping gives the property a true estate presence, with mature plantings, established lawn areas, graceful transitions, privacy, and a composed sense of arrival. The exterior spaces feel intentional and timeless, offering both beauty and serenity while framing the home in a way that enhances its Georgian character.

Additional features include updated kitchen and bath spaces, replaced insulated-glass windows, extensive closets and storage throughout, a two-car attached garage, whole-house generator, water feature, city water and sewer, and a setting that offers privacy while remaining convenient to Henderson amenities.

The location further enhances the appeal, with Henderson Country Club just moments away. Known as a longstanding private club in West Henderson, the country club offers golf, dining, pool, tennis, fitness, and social amenities, including access to an established 18-hole golf course. For those who value architectural character, privacy, gracious outdoor space, and proximity to one of the area’s signature recreational and social destinations, 1 Lakeside Drive is not simply a home. It is a legacy property with beauty, substance, and a story worth preserving.

Examining another house that is similar, nearby, and recently sold can help determine if the price of this home for sale is priced appropriately.

Compared to Similar Homes that Recently Sold….

1 Lakeside Drive has a Price per Square Foot of $136.

Here’s how that compares to the surrounding area:

1% above the Henderson Township median ($135)

3% below the City of Henderson median ($140)

3% below the Vance County median ($140)

  • A single-story brick house with white trim sits on a grassy hill at 2118 N Woodland Road in Henderson, surrounded by green trees and bushes under a clear blue sky.
    2118 N Woodland Road, Henderson, NC 27536
    • Price: $255,000
    • $62 Price per Sqft
    • 4,099 Sqft
    • 0.6 Acres
    • Sold on 2026-01-22
    • Price: ⬇️ (Sold for $420k less)

    • Sq Ft: ⬇️ (851 sq ft smaller)

    • Cost/SqFt: ⬇️ ($74 lower per sq ft)

    • Condition: ⬇️ (Needs significant renovation)

    The home on N Woodland Road represents the lower end of the market for this size, largely because it requires a total cosmetic overhaul to match modern standards. Comparing it to 1 Lakeside Drive is a bit like comparing a project car to a restored classic; the price gap is massive because the home for sale is move-in ready with luxury finishes. For a buyer who doesn’t want a multi-year renovation project, the premium for the home for sale makes sense.

    🟡 This sold listing was a bargain for a renovator, but it highlights just how much value is already built into the polished condition of 1 Lakeside Drive.

  • Charming single-story red brick house at 141 Country Club Drive with white columns, a covered front porch, and large front windows, nestled among green grass, shrubs, and trees under a blue Henderson sky with scattered clouds.
    141 Country Club Drive, Henderson, NC 27536
    • Price: $625,000
    • $114 Price per Sqft
    • 5,488 Sqft
    • 1.15 Acres
    • Sold on 2025-11-04
    • Price: ⬇️ (Sold for $50k less)

    • Sq Ft: ⬆️ (538 sq ft larger)

    • Cost/SqFt: ⬇️ ($22 lower per sq ft)

    • Condition: ⚖️ (Similar high-end finishes)

    This property on Country Club Drive is a very strong comparison, offering a similar high-end feel and even more square footage on a single level. While it sold for a lower price per square foot, 1 Lakeside Drive distinguishes itself with its Georgian symmetry and the renowned landscape design of Charles Gillette. The home for sale appears fairly priced when you consider the ‘legacy’ nature of the build and the premium materials used throughout.

    🟡 This was a fantastic value for a ranch-style home, but 1 Lakeside Drive offers a more formal, historic aesthetic that many buyers in this price bracket specifically seek.

  • The Henderson home at 515 S Woodland Road is a two-story suburban house with a gabled roof and brick siding, surrounded by manicured bushes, trees, and a curved driveway leading to the entrance in a wooded area.
    515 S Woodland Road, Henderson, NC 27536
    • Price: $482,500
    • $112 Price per Sqft
    • 4,290 Sqft
    • 1.07 Acres
    • Sold on 2025-08-20
    • Price: ⬇️ (Sold for $192k less)

    • Sq Ft: ⬇️ (660 sq ft smaller)

    • Cost/SqFt: ⬇️ ($24 lower per sq ft)

    • Condition: ⬇️ (Visibly more dated bathrooms)

    While this home on S Woodland Road offers a private pool and over 4,000 square feet, the interior finishes—particularly in the bathrooms—show more age than the refined updates at 1 Lakeside Drive. The home for sale commands a higher price per square foot, but it offers a rare architectural pedigree and a slate roof that this sold listing lacks. You are essentially paying a premium for the superior craftsmanship and the ‘estate’ feel of the Georgian architecture.

    🟡 This sold listing is a great option for those prioritizing a pool, but 1 Lakeside Drive is the clear winner for quality and architectural significance.
