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 grand Eastover home offers a lovely balance of comfort and elegance on a beautiful 1/2 acre lot. You'll find high end finishes and premium materials throughout the inviting floor plan with spacious rooms, soaring ceilings and beautiful wide, heart of pine floors (rumored to be from a Hershey's plant). Five large bedrooms with primary suite on main, and 2 offices, one up, one down. In the heart of the 2nd floor is a space the seller's three girls used for homework - with a large table in the middle and shelving on both sides, it could be an art/craft room, study space or another office. Expansive bonus room and exercise room on 3rd floor along with copious amounts of walk in storage. Room above the garage is floored with windows and electricity, no HVAC but offers even more storage. A screened porch off the family room overlooks the beautifully landscaped, fenced in back yard. Lovely rose garden by the friend's side entrance. This home is an Eastover gem.
