This exquisite antebellum plantation was built ca.1840 by James E. Hennigan, a prominent Mecklenburg County planter and local politician. Located near I-485 and Providence Road in South Charlotte, the vernacular Upcountry Transitional Federal/Greek Revival home has been painstakingly restored and maintained to its former glory and is ready for you to move in! It is a Mecklenburg County Historic Site, thus receiving a 50% property tax deferment.
This breathtaking 5.45 acre property, with nearly 700 feet of road frontage, is surrounded by trees on every side, insuring privacy. Majestic old oak trees and over 170 azaleas greet you as you drive in. Magnificent landscaping and multiple formal gardens provide a tranquil setting and offer a retreat from the pressures of modern life.
The property provides for two horses with barn (with loft) and over two acres of lush fenced pasture with wooded trails, a two-story carriage house/garage with heat and air, and a lovely well-house/potting shed.
Hennigan Place is ideal as an equestrian estate, or to showcase your collection of fine antiques of any period or style, or to entertain inthe grandeur of the Old South is preserved here!
Hennigan Place is highly original, as it had never been modified, heated, wired or plumbed prior to the current owners acquiring it 30 years ago. The interior features high ceilings, heart pine floors and beautiful plaster and handmade moldings, providing a wonderful backdrop for any style of furniture. The current owners have furnished it from an 1877 Widow's Dowry court record with their collection of fine period country antiques. All three fireplaces work well. The two new heat pumps installed in late 2005 function superbly and economically. The main house features three bedrooms and two and a half baths.
