16728 Ashton Oaks Drive, Charlotte, NC

The Ashton Oaks enclave within The Palisades provides a controlled-access environment for this French Provincial estate, a residence defined by its substantial 5,521-square-foot floor plan and classical 2005 architecture. The interior volume is anchored by site-finished hardwoods and a kitchen equipped with honed Carrara marble and a Wolf range, catering to a specific standard of culinary utility. With five bedrooms and five bathrooms, the layout prioritizes privacy, positioning the primary suite on the main level while dedicating the finished basement to recreation or multi-generational requirements. Buyers focused on the southwest Charlotte corridor will note that while The Palisades offers a resort-scale lifestyle, the limited inventory within the gated Ashton Oaks section maintains a layer of exclusivity often absent in larger master-planned developments. The property represents a disciplined balance of traditional craftsmanship and functional scale for the contemporary collector. Private viewings may be coordinated through Peters & Associates.
