3220 Commonwealth Avenue, Charlotte, NC

This 1941 residence presents a disciplined study in privacy, positioned as a secluded sanctuary within striking distance of the city’s primary cultural corridors. Spanning 2,567 square feet, the four-bedroom, three-bathroom home has been fully reimagined as a modern smart estate, anchored by a deliberate transition between its sophisticated interiors and its grounds. The property is defined by a resort-caliber saltwater pool system—featuring heating, cooling, and integrated spa functions—framed by expansive terraces and a dedicated pool bath. In a submarket where proximity to Uptown often necessitates a compromise on quietude, this acreage manages to retain an atmosphere of total detachment. Serious collectors of Charlotte real estate will note the increasing rarity of finding such comprehensive outdoor infrastructure already matured and integrated within these established urban boundaries. The residence represents a rare convergence of historical footprint and contemporary utility. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
