MOUNT PLEASANT, N.C. (June 18, 2025) — A distinguished piece of North Carolina history is now available for purchase. The former Lentz Hotel, an architectural treasure now reimagined as a private residence, is being offered at 1120 N College Street for $700,000. The legacy property is marketed exclusively by Charlie Williams of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Charlotte office. The listing details may be viewed here.
Constructed circa 1853, the Lentz Hotel holds the honor of being the oldest commercial building in Cabarrus County. It stands as a testament to the region’s enduring character and historic charm. In 1980, plans to demolish the hotel were met with dedicated efforts by the Mt. Pleasant Insurance Company and local preservationists, ultimately resulting in its relocation to College Street. With support from Preservation NC and the Daniel J. Stowe Foundation, the building was carefully moved and thoughtfully restored. In recognition of its cultural and architectural significance, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
Now a four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom residence, the home retains its original hardwood flooring, fixtures, and interior craftsmanship, preserving the ambiance and elegance of a bygone era. Upon entering, one is immediately enveloped in a sense of timelessness, enhanced by the meticulous restoration work that honors the home’s historical roots.
Modern enhancements seamlessly complement the historic design, including a spacious, updated kitchen, a versatile bonus room, multiple laundry areas, and a two-car garage. Situated within walking distance of downtown Mount Pleasant, the property offers a rare blend of small-town charm and sophisticated living.
“This exceptional home is the crown jewel of Mount Pleasant’s historic landscape,” said Charlie Williams, Premier Sotheby’s International Realty. The rare blend of timeless character and modern comfort is an ideal residence for the discerning buyer seeking character, craftsmanship, and provenance.”
