Since its inception in the 1890′s, Dilworth has been one of Charlotte’s most distinct neighborhoods. Developed as the city’s first suburb, Dilworth was connected to downtown by Charlotte’s first electric streetcar. The success of the initial development of Dilworth led its creator, Edward Dilworth Latta, to expand the neighborhood in the 1910′s, under a plan by the Olmstead Brothers, then the nation’s preeminent landscape designers.
Although their plan was never fully implemented, the Olmstead’s curved roads and dramatic landscaping set the tone for much of Charlotte’s future character. In 1987, Dilworth was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
This 100 year plus beautifully restored Victorian is not to be missed. The over sized front porch is perfect for family and neighborhood gatherings which makes Dilworth special and unique. Original woodwork has been beautifully preserved throughout , including four decorative fireplaces with original mantles and period crown moulding in the public rooms, all complimented by soaring ceiling heights. The Primary suite is a true retreat... a decorative mantle, dual period closets flanking a window, and a spa style ensuite bath with a spa style walk in shower, all thoughtfully updated while preserving the rooms original character. The Kitchen and all bathrooms have been fully renovated, with new electrical and plumbing throughout the home. Pull down attic stairs to access partially floored attic for additional storage space. The private rear lawn is an entertainer's dream, with future ability for a parking pad or garage (with HDC approval) using the fully paved alley way running behind the property . Walk to all that Dilworth and South End has to offer from this incredible location... If you appreciate the charm of an older updated Victorian, this is your new home.
