🏡 Some homes just feel different the moment you walk in…

213 Union Street North is one of those homes.

Built in 1949 and lovingly cared for by the Morrison family since 1973, this is the kind of place where history isn’t just preserved—it’s lived in. You feel it in the original oak floors, the arched hallway, the quiet corners of the Den, and the warmth of fireplaces that have gathered people together for decades.

Over time, the home has grown in all the right ways. A beautifully designed Family Room invites everyone to slow down and stay awhile. The private garage suite offers space for guests, family, or whatever life calls for next. And throughout, pieces of local history—from Cannon Mills to Locke Mill—have been thoughtfully woven in.

Step outside and it only gets better. A slate patio, a peaceful yard, a place to sit with coffee in the morning or unwind in the evening… all just a short walk from the heart of Downtown Concord.

This isn’t just a house.
It’s where memories have been made for generations—and where the next chapter is ready to begin.

📍 213 Union Street North / $1,290,000 / Historic Downtown

Coming Soon. Showings begin Friday, April 10, 2026.

My buyers adore the home they’re in, truly love it, but sometimes, life opens the door to a dream too good not to walk through. 🌿

For them, it’s 10 acres of peaceful, undisturbed woodlands just beyond the Concord city limits — a sprawling, gated equestrian community where they’ll soon build the custom home they’ve imagined their entire lives.

No traffic. No noise. Just the whisper of trees, the rhythm of hooves in the distance, and the promise of rest, renewal, and living life on their own terms.

Congratulations, my friends — you did it. You found your freedom.

If you’re ready to chase your own version of home — whether that’s a downtown condo, a family home, or a retreat in the woods — I’m here to help. Concord, NC, is where I live, work, and love to help people find their place. Let’s make it happen.

🎃 CLOSED on HALLOWEEN! 🏡
226 Union Street South officially closed this past Friday — and there was nothing scary about it! 👻

A beautiful historic home from one loving family has now been passed on to another, ready to make memories for years to come. And in true South Union spirit, the new owners already had Halloween decor out the very next day — so it looks like we’ve got another awesomely spooky house joining the block! 🕸️💀

Huge thanks to my amazing sellers for trusting me and Craven & Company REALTORS to get the job done. Concord is full of incredible homes and even better people — and it’s always an honor to help connect the two.

Closed in Concord! 🏡✨

230 Ravine Circle is officially closed, and I couldn’t be more proud of my buyer for seeing it through!

Tucked in a quiet corner of the Winecoff Hills neighborhood in Downtown Concord, NC , this one hit close to home—passing from a longtime Concordian who made this house a home with his wife and family to a lifelong local and first-time home buyer with roots in the same neighborhood. It’s a beautiful thing when both sides share such heartfelt ties to the land and the home.

Wishing both sides the best ahead, and a big thanks to the local pros Benjamin (EXP Listing Agent), Bruce (Novus Custom Mortgage Group), Jessica (Byrd Agency), and Ryan, Emily and Aspyn (Ferguson Hayes & Hawkins ,PLLC) for helping make this deal seamless. No stress real estate is a true practice.

With rates now below 6.3%, the lowest in almost a year, it’s a great time to talk about your next move in or around Concord.
Call Craven today and let’s get you settled!
