Some homes are built to impress. The Frank Rickert Summers House, designed in 1928 by architect Hugh Edward White and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was built to be lived in. The brick Tudor Revival sits on 6.52 private acres, with more than 5,100 finished square feet, five bedrooms and four baths. The original character is intact, from the brick and leaded-glass windows to the fireplace in the great room. Imagine mornings by that fireplace, summer afternoons at the 20x40 pool, and evenings on the lawn as the light fades through the trees. The 2,250 sq ft workshop and two-car garage are ready for a car collection, a hobby or a private studio. A 2019 restoration took care of everything a house this age needs: updated plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof, windows, kitchen and baths, with copper fixtures throughout. Minutes from historic downtown Kings Mountain, Crowders Mountain State Park and I-85, it's a piece of Kings Mountain history ready for its next chapter.
