509 E Tremont Avenue, Charlotte, NC

The architectural integrity of historic Dilworth finds a contemporary counterpart in this 2022 custom residence, where the traditional cedar-shake and brick aesthetic belies a sophisticated modern infrastructure. Spanning 4,865 square feet, the interior composition prioritizes natural materials, featuring expansive white oak flooring and hand-selected marble surfaces. The primary living volume is defined by exposed timber beams and a culinary suite designed for significant entertaining, while the 1,800-square-foot lower level utilizes ten-foot ceilings to create light-filled flex spaces suited for a private gymnasium or executive office. With four bedrooms and five bathrooms, the layout offers a scale rarely achieved within the neighborhood’s established grid. For the discerning collector of Charlotte real estate, Dilworth continues to command a premium due to its scarcity of new construction that adheres to such rigorous design standards. This property represents a seamless transition for those desiring the pedigree of a heritage district without the concessions of vintage systems. Private viewing arrangements may be coordinated through Peters & Associates.

About the home

Behind this cedar-shake Craftsman with a brick chimney and a deep front porch sits something you don't usually get on a hundred-year-old Historic Dilworth street: a home professionally designed and custom-built to the highest standards. The bungalow charm and historic details all over the house read like they've been there for decades. Everything behind the door, all the systems and finishes, are current and move-in ready. Inside, white oak runs through the whole main level. A front sitting room with a marble fireplace opens back to the part of the house where the great room flows into the kitchen under exposed beams. That kitchen, with its custom hood over the range, quartz counters, and an island with room for a crowd, is where everyone will gather. With nearly 4,900 square feet, 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, including an 1,800-square-foot lower level, there is room to spread out. The lower level, with its 10-foot ceiling, lives like the rest of the house rather than a basement. It offers a giant living area, a bedroom, and multiple flex spaces for a gym, an office, or anything else. The back of the house is built for enjoyment. A covered stone patio, a fireplace, and a flat lawn make four-season outdoor living possible. A detached garage for a car and your outdoor toys is just a few steps away. Nestled on tree-lined Tremont in the heart of Dilworth, you're steps to 300 East and Sunflour Bakery, South End and the Rail Trail, or a bike ride to Freedom Park and the Little Sugar Creek Greenway.
