About this home

Welcome to this beautifully restored historic Charlotte home, situated on nearly an acre (.99 acres) just 15 minutes from Uptown Charlotte and 12 minutes from the restaurants, breweries, and shops of Plaza Midwood. Located on a quiet street in the desirable Cedar Cove neighborhood with no through traffic, this property offers privacy, convenience, historic character, and extensive modern updates. The home features 4,476.66 square feet of heated living space, including 2,800.35 square feet on the first floor and 1,676.31 square feet on the second floor. An additional 2,440.5 square feet of non-heated space brings the combined total to nearly 7,000 square feet. This flexible floor plan allows for a primary suite on either the main level or the second floor. The land has been surveyed, and the back portion of the lot has direct road frontage and access to city water. This portion may offer the new owner an opportunity to subdivide and sell it separately as a future investment, subject to applicable approvals and independent buyer verification. The backyard features a saltwater swimming pool, an expansive fenced yard, and 29 mature perimeter trees that provide exceptional privacy. It is an ideal setting for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying peaceful evenings at home. Since purchasing the home in 2015, the sellers have invested extensively in preserving its historic character while updating virtually every major system and finish. Improvements include a complete kitchen renovation, two fully remodeled bathrooms, refinished hardwood floors, HVAC and ductwork, electrical and plumbing upgrades, basement waterproofing with a Dry Pro drainage system, a sump pump, crawlspace encapsulation, new siding, gutters, insulation, appliances, lighting, paint, brand-new carpet, fencing, a garage door, landscaping, and much more. The saltwater pool was added in 2016. The roof was replaced in 2020 with Camelot architectural shingles, and new living room windows were installed in 2025. The refrigerator, mini fridge at bar, microwave, pool equipment, playground, and flat screen TV in great room to convey. Built in 1951, this unique home traces its roots to a 41-acre tract purchased directly from William Thomas Harris, founder of Harris Teeter and owner of historic Vernedale Farms. Local legend also holds that the expansive field stretching between Vernedale Road and what would later become Hanna Court once served as a private grass airstrip. This is a truly move-in-ready home where the hard work has already been done. Few properties this close to the heart of Charlotte offer this combination of documented history, nearly an acre of land, exceptional privacy, flexible primary suite options, a backyard pool retreat, extensive modern improvements, and potential future investment value while preserving the distinctive character of a 1951 home.
