The transition from the quiet, canopy-covered streets of Dilworth to the contemporary pulse of South End defines the lifestyle of this 1905 residence. Spanning 2,361 square feet, the property reflects a precise modernization of a turn-of-the-century structure, now configured with four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The interior focuses on material quality, featuring site-finished flooring and a primary suite finished with custom tile and integrated floor heating. An enclosed three-season room, anchored by a mid-century Malm fireplace, serves as a refined bridge between the historic architecture and the private grounds. For the collector or long-term investor, this specific pocket of Dilworth remains one of Charlotte’s most resilient submarkets, largely due to its immediate proximity to the light rail and the high density of amenities within the South End corridor. It offers a rare equilibrium between the architectural integrity of a legacy neighborhood and the modern convenience of the city's primary growth engine. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
About the home
Looking for the most walkable house in Charlotte? You just found it! This beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 3-bath home is tucked on a quiet, tree-lined street in historic Dilworth right where Southend begins, which allows you walk to work, walk to dinner, walk to drinks, walk to shop, then hop the Light Rail for more. The Rail Trail, the Dowd YMCA, The Rail Yard, and 80+ restaurants, breweries, and bars are all just a few blocks away, with the uptown skyline as your backdrop. Absolutely amazing, site-finished hickory hardwoods run throughout its 2,405 square feet. The chef’s kitchen is a showpiece, with a 6-burner gas stove and generous counter space. The baths are stylishly refreshed, and the primary suite offers a spa-like retreat with custom tile and heated floors. Out back, you’ll love the three-season room with its striking mid-century Malm fireplace and EZ-Breeze windows. Imagine your days here: breakfast at Einstein's, shopping and a long lunch with friends, then dinner and drinks after—all without ever moving your car. Zoned for Dilworth Elementary, Sedgefield Middle, and Myers Park High.
