Since its inception in the 1890′s, Dilworth has been one of Charlotte’s most distinct neighborhoods. Developed as the city’s first suburb, Dilworth was connected to downtown by Charlotte’s first electric streetcar. The success of the initial development of Dilworth led its creator, Edward Dilworth Latta, to expand the neighborhood in the 1910′s, under a plan by the Olmstead Brothers, then the nation’s preeminent landscape designers.
Although their plan was never fully implemented, the Olmstead’s curved roads and dramatic landscaping set the tone for much of Charlotte’s future character. In 1987, Dilworth was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
This charming 1940 bungalow has been fully updated and restored and located in prime Dilworth location just steps from East Blvd. shops and dining as well as Freedom Park. The 3 bedroom 2 full bath home has hardwood floors, restored windows, classic detailing and recent sunroom additions on side and rear of the home. The side sunroom offers a quiet place for reading or enjoying your morning coffee. The rear sunroom with heated floors, heat, air conditioning and a vaulted ceiling is an ideal retreat for entertaining or watching TV year-round. This space overlooks the perfectly manicured lawn and gardens with tons of natural light. The classic brick home has spacious formals and charming kitchen with cozy dinette. The three bedrooms flanking the left side of the home provide functionality and convenience. The third bedroom is currently being utilized as a large home office/dressing area. The fully functional cellar houses the laundry area and plenty of storage. The house has a Kohler whole house generator with an automated transfer switch. The detached garage is fully insulated and conditioned with heat and air and could provide a workshop or convenient home office or gym. The beautiful mahogany garage door is a nice backdrop for the covered parking space attached. This thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained home in such a prime in town location is a must see. Showings start Thursday April 16th.
