Calling all mid-century modern enthusiasts seeking a piece of Lenoir history. Designed and built in 1979 by acclaimed contractor, Bruce Barlow, as his personal family residence, 2718 Arden Drive has remained in the Barlow family since its completion. This remarkable residence offers a rare opportunity to own a custom-designed home… Read More rich in character and authenticity. The foyer, with parquet wood floors, opens into a dramatic great room featuring vaulted ceilings, a wall of windows, custom floor-to-ceiling built-in wooden cabinets topped with bookshelves, and a stunning, floor-to-ceiling Tennessee Field Stone fireplace with electric logs. Adjacent to the great room is a formal combination dining room and living room that offers flexibility and could easily transition into an additional living or gathering space. The kitchen showcases original custom cabinetry and original appliances, which are functional today, except for the stovetop. Built into the countertop is a fully functioning Nu-Tone Food Center, with all attachments included, for food processing, blending, mixing, shredding and more. A cozy breakfast area overlooks the back porch and rolling pasture, with mountains beyond. Down the main hallway, you’ll find a spacious laundry and mudroom with access to the double-car garage, along with a bonus room, previously used as a sewing room, with floor-to-ceiling custom cabinets with ample storage. The primary suite features a large sliding glass door, dual closets, vanity area with ceramic tile, and an en-suite bath with original tub/shower insert, sink and toilet. A guest bedroom with built-in desk and two closets, along with a full hall bath, complete this wing. The opposite wing offers two additional guest bedrooms and another full bath. The lower level expands the living space with a large game room, complete with a Tennessee Stone Fireplace, with sliding glass doors that open to a covered patio. This level also includes a fourth guest bedroom with en-suite bath, a foyer leading to an additional entrance, and a substantial unfinished but heated basement area that provides exceptional storage or opportunity to create additional finished living space. On 1.23 acres, the property offers privacy and usable front and back yard space. Recent updates include a new roof (2023), heat pump (2019), two electric water heaters (one replaced in 2024), engineered wood flooring and bath tile (2008/2009), and a new pressure tank. Additional highlights include cultured marble vanity tops and recently upgraded lighting above the kitchen cabinetry. Please note a discrepancy between professional measurements and the tax card. The professional measurements show an additional 797 square feet of heated living space. The lower-level suite may not have been included in the tax measurements but was finished at the same time the house was built. All stonework throughout the home is Tennessee Field Stone, further enhancing its distinctive architectural character. A special opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind home that was featured and won the Parade of Homes in Lenoir in 1979, which has been filled with rich history through the decades. Read Less
