The main living areas transition effortlessly onto the expansive front porch, side deck, and private rear courtyard, offering creating multiple outdoor spaces for dining, gathering, and relaxation while overlooking beautifully landscaped grounds. A dedicated library a with gas log fireplace on the main level provides a refined setting for reading, working from home, or creative pursuits, adding both charm and functionality to the home.

The open layout flows seamlessly to a private courtyard, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor experience perfect for both intimate evenings and larger gatherings.

The primary suite serves as a true private retreat, offering privacy, comfort, and thoughtfully designed bonus spaces rarely found in Uptown living. Just off the primary bedroom, a separate flex room provides the perfect setting for a private office, wellness space, creative studio, dressing room, or craft room tailored to your lifestyle needs.

Connected to the primary ensuite, a tucked-away loft-style reading nook creates a quiet and unexpected escape ideal for reading, relaxing, reflection, or simply unwinding away from the main living spaces. This intimate hideaway adds a distinctive architectural element that makes the suite feel both personal and unforgettable.

Throughout the residence, intentional architectural details, natural materials, and abundant natural light create a refined yet welcoming environment designed for both everyday living and memorable entertaining.

Located moments from Fourth Ward Park, Uptown dining, entertainment, cultural venues, and Charlotte’s business district, the home offers exceptional convenience while preserving the character and charm of one of Charlotte’s most established neighborhoods.
