Charlotte Home Boasts Historic Style and Modern Luxuries
It should go without saying that you’ll experience a warm welcome at this hundred-year-old, renovated family home. Nestled on nearly an acre of land among manicured gardens, sprawling lawns and ornamental pools, this property is a true retreat.
Red Brick Exterior and Front Yard
This red brick charmer is found on a picturesque, tree-lined street in Charlotte, North Carolina. An extensive renovation made the home's five bedrooms, five bathrooms, living areas and acre of land into graceful, enchanting places.
White Contemporary Foyer With Curved Stairs
The slightest curve in the stairs lends grace and little bit of movement to the home's airy foyer.
Neutral Contemporary Living Room With Gray Velvet Chairs
Each of the home's six fireplaces has a custom design; the one in the living room is hand plastered.
Contemporary Living Room With Yellow Ottoman
Golden yellows and browns are a pretty counterpoint to the living room's white walls and coffered ceiling. A long banquette gracefully separates the seating and dining areas.
Contemporary Neutral Dining Room With Banquette
A slim-lined, long banquette joins forces with black wishbone chairs as stylish seating for the rectangular dining table.
Neutral Transitional Kitchen With Black Pendant
In addition to the home's impressive main chef kitchen, there's another smaller kitchen that connects easily to the outside for simplified entertaining.
Brick Fireplace With Arch
The home has a total of six fireplaces, each with its own unique personality. This one gets a handsome brick surround, framed by a large arch.
Brown Transitional Living Room With Arched Fireplace
A series of arches lines this living room on all sides, incorporating huge windows and—the room's focal point—a stately fireplace.
Transitional Chef Kitchen With Gray Cabinets
Dark gray-blue cabinetry gives a handsome snap of formality to the gourmet kitchen. Warmth comes from the hardwood floors.
Gray and White Chef Kitchen With Large Island
In the grand chef kitchen, the coffered ceiling is echoed in the criss-cross pattern of the backsplash. A hint of metallics adds to its luxe, textured feel.
Kitchen With Courtyard View
Stand at the island in the home's tasteful chef kitchen and enjoy serene backyard views including a raised reflecting pool.
White Contemporary Bedroom With Gold Bed
Not much beats a gold velvet bed to give a bedroom an aura of glamour. White everywhere else in the room turns the bed into the centerpiece.
Walk In Closet With LED Lighting
Never hunt for that missing shoe again. The glamorous walk-in closet has LED lighting in its shelves and clothing rods.
White Primary Bathroom With Furry Stool
Long rows of windows let the trees' green into this all-white primary bathroom. The dressing table is perfectly positioned to take in the restful setting.
Gray Green Screened In Porch
Wraparound dark interiors add to the cool, quiet feel of the screened porch.
Screen Porch With Peach Pillows
To take in the serenity of the backyard—and escape the bugs—the screened-in porch with views out to the pool is just the place.
Backyard With Pool and Green Grass
Enjoy the peace of the pool from the screened porch or an open air patio. Surrounded by grass and shaded by big trees, the pool is a green oasis.
Backyard With Pool and Fountain
With green all around it, the backyard pool resembles a secluded meadow pond. It's fed by a fountain and shaded by tall trees.
Formal Garden and Gray Gazebo
The home's formal gardens are captivating places with ponds, peaceful walkways and plants in a beautiful range of colors and textures.
Formal Garden With Purple Flowers
Pretty color is mixed into the formal garden's lush green. The plants' wide variety of texture brings appealing dimension to the outdoor space.

The grounds around the house measure up to almost an acre and have a beautiful range of formal gardens, wandering paths and a backyard with a blissful pool.
Courtyard With Reflection Pool
Pause for a bit of quiet reflection next to this lily pad-topped pool.
