Property Description

Cottage Alert! Who’s ready to live on a tree-lined street with sidewalks and walkability in sought-after Merry Oaks? Nestled in an established neighborhood known for mature trees and timeless charm, this home offers the kind of everyday convenience and character that’s becoming harder to find — including rare front-door mail delivery. Vintage Charlotte charm meets extensive modern updates in this beautifully renovated, move-in-ready cottage in desirable 28205. From the moment you arrive, you’ll appreciate the warmth, character, and thoughtful improvements throughout. And the spacious screened-in porch? It’s guaranteed to become your favorite spot for morning coffee, evening unwinding, and everything in between. Set on an expansive 0.34-acre lot (75 x 200 ft) backing to the Golf Course at the Charlotte Country Club with a substantial natural buffer, this property offers a level of privacy that’s increasingly rare this close to the city — no rear neighbors, mature trees, and a peaceful tucked-away setting just minutes from everything Charlotte has to offer. Inside, the thoughtfully renovated home blends preserved 1940s/1950s character with modern functionality and features 2 bedrooms plus a versatile flex room ideal for a home office, nursery, guest room, or creative space. Major recent improvements include a new roof (2024), new HVAC and ductwork, updated electrical, renovated kitchen and bath spaces, updated lighting, newly re-screened porch (2024), new 14' x 20' concrete patio pad, and a gas fireplace with new logs (2024). Original details — including the charming butler’s swinging door and vintage medicine cabinet — were intentionally preserved to honor the home’s historic roots while creating a truly move-in-ready living experience. The deep, level lot also provides incredible flexibility for the future. Enjoy the home and outdoor space as-is, expand over time, or explore long-term development potential in one of Charlotte’s fastest-evolving neighborhoods where new construction continues to gain momentum. Located minutes from Plaza Midwood, NoDa, Uptown, greenways, dining, amazing shopping at Southpark and entertainment — including convenient access to a nearby greenway entrance on Arnold Drive — this is a rare opportunity to own a renovated home with exceptional privacy, a large homesite, and long-term upside in sought-after Merry Oaks. Move in now, build later, or simply enjoy a property where charm, privacy, convenience, and future potential all come together.
