About this home
Gorgeous, mountain-retreat. Walk in and life slows down right away. This distinctive property was designed by local architect Alan Eugene Gilstrap, who designed only around 30 homes in the Charlotte area in the 1970's. This upside-down, two-story home sits high on a hill and has wood siding, mature landscaping, and very little lawn maintenance, offering incredible privacy and the peaceful feel of a mountain get away. The main level features a large welcoming foyer, tile flooring, site-built hardwoods, and an open layout with vaulted ceilings and large wooden beams. It includes a wood-burning fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and an updated kitchen with quartz countertops and newer stainless steel appliances that opens to a small terrace ideal for grilling. The fully carpeted lower level features a large primary bedroom, a great room, and 3 additional bedrooms. Most of the interior has been freshly painted, with new lighting throughout, and multiple terraces connected to the house. Don't miss the shaded blue flagstone patio with cultured home grown moss between the stones and a fire pit. Additionally, the home includes a very large basement with plenty of space for a hobby shop and tons of extra storage. You don't want to miss this truly unique spot - all the privacy, yet right in the middle of Charlotte! It all has a majestic organic feeling. Who needs to drive to the mountains? The home is located in convenient and popular Mountainbrook neighborhood in Southpark. Active, but voluntary civic association (www.mountainbrookliving.org) and amazing private park that the neighbors care for right in the middle of the neighborhood with a field and playground (Anne Heinig Park) Adjacent to the park there is a swim & tennis club (membership required - mountainbrookclub.net) Finally, check out the Serenity Garden at the end of the street - a true Southpark treasure every season!
