Exterior front featuring wraparound porch
On almost a 1/2 acre, this majestic, fairytale like home sits upon a countrylike setting, however is only a stones throw from uptown Charlotte!
Grand Living Room with original windows
Large, yet cozy rooms, help to make this almost 1700sqft home even more grand! With soaring ceilings, just over 11ft high and oversized, original weighted pulley windows, an amazing amount of natural light fills the room.
Dining room
Notice the thin molding along the entire edge of the living, dining and front bedrooms. This is original period detail was left in place during renovations. It is known as "picture hanger molding". Have an ART GALLERY in your own home. Display your favorite "professional" pieces, along with cherished memories of your family and friends... maybe even include some photos of the original home and owners.
Kitchen facing the dining room
During the homes' extensive rennovations in 2016, the kitchen cabinets were custom crafted for this home by a master furniture/cabinet carpenter. They feature inset doors, some with glass inserts, large crown molding, open shelving above the farmhouse sink, simple, yet modern hardware, tile and trim details finish the look. The size of the kitchen is just right, allowing the owners to live, in the actual living & entertaining spaces. A separate space allows residents to focus on connecting with their family and guests, leaving the kitchen and all of the dishes and mess in the kitchen while you enjoy enjoy your time together!
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmark Plaque
The plaque hanging above the mailbox shown here, announces to all who visit that this is a very special home. It states that this home has been officially designated as a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmark.
Exterior rear with Pump House/canning shed
The rear of the home features an original structure, attached to the home, yet only accessible from outside. This was used as a pump house when there was a well being used, then a "canning room" and regular storage. There are even some pickling jars that the current owners left from when the original owners lived here.
2nd Bedroom - with fireplace
The front bedroom features the original oversized, weighted pulley windows and fireplace.
photo from the mid 1900's
We are unsure of when exactly, but it was taken sometime in the 50's or 60's. It was supplied from the original owner's to the Historic Landmark Commission and the owners who renovated the home prior to 2016.
1 of 3 fireplaces
2 of the 3 fireplaces have been refitted with gas logs, new tile surrounds, mirrors and manicured mantels. The renovations completed in 2016 were done keeping the history of the home alive while ensuring every comfort of a 21st century could be enjoyed.
Rural charm with city location
The old farmland was split up, leaving just under a 1/2 acre lot to still enjoy. Sitting back from the road and requiring a long walk/drive down the pea gravel, rock lined, driveway, it feels as though you are stepping back in time. Follow the same path the original owners did, coming in from the fields after a long days work.
