1931 Chatham Avenue

Some homes are renovated. This one was thoughtfully reimagined, preserving the soul of the original 1940 bungalow while creating the space, comfort, and luxury today's lifestyle demands. Completed in 2021, the down-to-the-studs renovation with rear and second-story additions doubled the home's footprint while honoring the owners' vision that, from the street, it would remain the same modest brick home the neighborhood had known for generations. Original hardwood floors remain in the main living areas, while the restored front door, original fireplace hearth, original interior doors with their original brass hardware, and even a working skeleton-key lock serve as enduring reminders of its history. Inside, an open floor plan creates effortless everyday living and entertaining. The chef's kitchen anchors the home with an oversized island, six-burner gas range, pantry, abundant cabinetry, and adjacent laundry room. Luxurious primary suites on both the main and upper levels offer exceptional flexibility. Upstairs, a spacious loft offers flexible living space, while the expansive walk-in attic offers storage rarely found in homes of this era. Added in 2013, the detached tandem garage with both driveway and alley access offers exceptional convenience, functionality, and storage. Outside, the backyard invites you to relax or entertain with its expansive stone patio and fire pit, creating a seamless extension of the home's living space. The welcoming front porch is the perfect place to greet neighbors and wave to the countless dogs who know this home as a favorite stop along their daily walks. In the heart of Plaza Midwood, you'll enjoy life in one of Charlotte's most sought-after neighborhoods, where restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, parks, and local favorites are just moments away, while Uptown Charlotte is only minutes from home. Well known to many neighbors as the beloved "Dog Treat House," this home carries a community tradition that has made it a favorite stop for countless four-legged visitors over the years. A home with history. A renovation with purpose. A Plaza Midwood lifestyle that's hard to match.
