105 maple street

Step back in time to 1913, when Badin was established by a French aluminum company drawn to the immense hydroelectric potential of the Yadkin River. Named after corporate executive Adrien Badin, the town was later expanded by Alcoa to support a thriving, classic industrial community. Today, this rich history lives on through the town's distinct early 20th-century character, a nostalgic feel, and local landmarks like the historic 1913 Badin Inn, which adds a wonderful layer of timeless Southern elegance to the area. Immerse yourself in this vibrant heritage at 105 Maple Street, a stunning residence proudly part of one of Badin's classic French-style quadruplexes and officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Following a meticulous, down-to-the-studs total remodel, this property seamlessly blends updated modern living with authentic historic character. Curb appeal is effortlessly maintained with a neat artificial turf front lawn. A welcoming front porch opens directly into a bright living room featuring high ceilings and a cozy fireplace with warm gas logs, while an open staircase frames the view into the large, open-concept kitchen and dining area. The main level also includes a convenient bedroom, a full bath, and a laundry area, with a spacious covered back porch just outside that overlooks a private, fenced-in backyard that is just waiting to become a cottage garden. The upper level serves as a private sanctuary, showcasing an expansive owner's suite with dramatic cathedral ceilings, a large, well-appointed bath, and a private den. Practicality meets convenience at the rear, where a back alley leads to a dedicated car parking court and an outbuilding ideal for storage or hobbies. Ample street parking. Beyond its fascinating roots, Badin offers an incredible lifestyle framed by natural beauty and small-town charm. Residents enjoy immediate proximity to the sparkling waters of the 5,000-acre Badin Lake, a paradise for boating, fishing, and weekend water sports. Just down the road, the rugged peaks of Morrow Mountain State Park provide miles of scenic hiking trails, panoramic views, and outdoor adventure. Back in town, you can explore the inviting historic downtown area, featuring local small shops, friendly gathering spots, and a welcoming community spirit—all while remaining just a short drive from modern conveniences in nearby Albemarle.
