About This Home

COMING SOON!!!!

STEP INTO A TRUE MID-CENTURY MASTERPIECE! Built in 1965 by Ronnie and Wayne Simmons, this one-of-a-kind multi-level home blends timeless architectural design with modern comfort. Situated at the end of a quiet street and just steps from Broyhill Walking Park, the property offers exceptional privacy surrounded by mature trees.

The impressive double wood front doors open to a dramatic foyer where a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace immediately captures your attention. The spacious living room and dining area feature vaulted, beamed wood ceilings, creating warmth and character, while skylights fill the dining room with natural light.

The kitchen offers abundant built-in storage, a breakfast area, and a double wall oven with a vintage electric cooktop, blending retro charm with everyday functionality. The refrigerator, separate freezer, washer, and dryer are all included. Just beyond the main living area, you'll find one of the home's most inviting spaces—a covered wraparound deck overlooking the wooded backyard. Freshly painted wood walls create a peaceful outdoor retreat perfect for entertaining or relaxing.

The main level features three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with three closets, one of which is a generous cedar-lined walk-in closet. The primary bath includes both a soaking tub and separate shower.

The finished lower level offers outstanding flexibility with two additional bedrooms, a large family room featuring a brick fireplace, a kitchenette/bar area with a cooktop, a bright sunroom, an impressive open plant terrarium (plants included), laundry and storage rooms, plus an attached double garage. Two separate staircases provide convenient access from both the foyer and kitchen.

Additional Features:

Original designer staircase railing

Contemporary architectural details throughout

Two heat pump systems serviced by McMillan, with a new heat pump being installed for the main level

Security alarm system

Deck stained in 2022

Cedar siding and exterior professionally re-stained between 2023–2024

Most furnishings may remain with the home, with only a few exclusions

This remarkable home is a rare opportunity to own a well-preserved piece of Lenoir's architectural history while enjoying generous living space, unique design elements, and a tranquil setting. If you've been searching for a home with authentic mid-century character, exceptional craftsmanship, and a setting that's just steps from Broyhill Walking Park, 917 Cherokee Circle SW is one you won't want to miss.
