About this home

Long before SouthPark became one of Charlotte's most sought-after neighborhoods, this 1920s residence was already part of its story. Today, it offers over 4,700 square feet of finished, usable space on a private half-acre in the heart of it all. Believed to be one of the original homes in what is now Old Saybrook, this century-old residence has been thoughtfully updated while preserving the character that makes it so special. From the grand entry foyer and sweeping staircase, to the soaring ceilings and abundant natural light, the home strikes a rare balance between historic charm and modern functionality. With 3,457 square feet of HLA plus more than 1,200 additional finished square feet across the finished basement and attic, there is an incredible amount of space to spread out, gather, and adapt as your needs evolve over time. One of the home's most compelling features is a flexible main-level wing with its own separate entrance, fully remodeled kitchenette, and adjoining room currently styled as a dining room. Together, the spaces open up countless possibilities—formal dining and entertaining, private guest quarters, multi-generational living, a dedicated home office, or a combination of uses entirely your own. At the heart of the home, the kitchen has been fully reimagined with new cabinetry, quartz countertops, and an oversized island that connects naturally to the main living areas. Upstairs, the primary suite features a fully renovated bathroom with a soaking tub and custom closet built-ins. Just outside the door, a bookshelf-lined loft opens to a charming balcony, creating an unexpected spot for reading, working, or play.The finished basement and attic add another layer of flexibility, with room for movie nights, a playroom, home gym, hobbies, guests, or simply the luxury of having space to grow into. Outside, two separate driveways provide ample parking, while the fully fenced half-acre lot offers the kind of privacy and breathing room that's increasingly difficult to find this close to SouthPark. A putting green and expansive lawn provide plenty of room to entertain, relax, or envision a future pool. And yet, for all the space and privacy, you're still right in the middle of it all—walkable to Strawberry Hill shopping and dining, minutes from SouthPark, and convenient to some of Charlotte's most sought-after public and private schools. More than a century after it was built, this home offers something nearly impossible to recreate today: historic character, remarkable flexibility, and a private half-acre in the heart of modern-day SouthPark.
