Now offered at $1,299,999, it presents a compelling opportunity along one of Charlotte’s most established corridors. Designed for lock-and-leave living, the home features generous interior spaces and a fully enclosed private courtyard that functions as a true extension of the living area. Hardwood floors span the main level, complemented by fresh interior paint and timeless finishes throughout. Formal living and dining rooms provide elegant, well-proportioned spaces, while the family room features custom built-ins, a gas fireplace, wet bar, and direct courtyard access—creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The updated kitchen is anchored by a substantial island and includes stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, and sun-filled windows. A striking central staircase adds architectural presence, while a secondary rear staircase enhances flow and functionality throughout the home. Upstairs, two spacious primary suites offer exceptional flexibility—one ideal as a guest retreat, bonus room, or office—along with two additional bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. The main primary suite features a luxuriously renovated bath designed for a refined daily experience. The outdoor setting is further enhanced by a stately brick perimeter wall and a deeper rear yard, creating distinct spaces for entertaining, relaxation, and added privacy. Recent improvements provide meaningful peace of mind and include a new roof, two new HVAC systems, and refreshed exterior trim and woodwork—helping make ownership simple and low-maintenance. For buyers prioritizing location, privacy, and ease of ownership in SouthPark, this home presents a differentiated opportunity.
