3240 Sunset Drive, Charlotte, NC

The architectural landscape of Sedgefield continues to evolve with this 2026 custom residence, a property that balances contemporary rigor with the warmth of organic materials. Spanning 5,241 square feet, the six-bedroom floor plan prioritizes spatial flow, centering on a chef’s kitchen and light-filled living areas defined by white oak accents and six full bathrooms. The integration of a private office, a loft, and a primary suite featuring a dedicated coffee station reflects a nuanced understanding of modern luxury requirements. Technical specifications are equally considered, utilizing foam insulation and encapsulated crawl spaces to ensure high-caliber energy performance. For the discerning investor, it is worth noting that Sedgefield has transitioned into a premier enclave for new construction, where the premium is increasingly placed on bespoke craftsmanship and advanced building science rather than traditional square footage alone. This transition underscores the long-term appreciation potential of the neighborhood’s tree-lined corridors. Private consultations and viewings are arranged exclusively through Peters & Associates.
