Charlotte, North Carolina – A Great Place To Live!
Posted by: | CommentsHere’s what makes Charlotte so great. I’ve just come back from a cruise and I still feel that I’m on vacation. Yes that sounds so corny but it’s true! Why? It’s the ease of flying into Charlotte at Douglas International Airport and the ease of driving home. O.K. so that’s one small part of what makes us so great. Charlotte is green, clean and beautiful. If you want to get uptown to an event or dinner it’s easy in and easy out. We have the best of hospitals and a great climate. Speaking about our climate lets examine our work climate. One of the main reasons The Charlotte area continues to out pace the rest of the nation is the opportunity to find employment.
The Charlotte housing market continues to out pace the rest of the nation. What would $300,000 buy you if you lived in New York, Chicago or L.A.?
If you’re interested in knowing more of what I think about living in Charlotte please e-mail me at Irv@TopCharllotteAgent.com. If you have some comments I’d like to hear from you too.
HighGate – Weddington North Carolina $1,725,000 #773879
Posted by: | Comments
Stunning, yet comfortable estate home in HighGate in Weddington, North Carolina features craftsman-inspired styling and architecture. An exterior of brick and stone with cedar accents complements the natural materials found throughout the interior – stone, cedar, slate, and copper. Fireplaces are wrapped in stone with a flared base. Coffered and exposed beam ceilings highlight some rooms, with ten-foot ceilings on the first floor, and nine-foot ceilings on the second floor.
The kitchen centers on the nine foot wide cooking center, with a 48″ dual fuel professional range with double ovens. Surrounded by maple cabinetry, granite countertops, and floor to ceiling columns wrapped in stone and connected by a stone arch, this is the heart of the kitchen. A separate wine bar/drink center has an undercounter wine refrigerator, stem holder, natural stone backsplash, and a copper tile band set between two full height stone columns.
Above the four car garage (two separate two car garages) are a media room, closet space, a full bath, and an additional room. Completely separate from the rest of the home, this area would be perfect as a nanny or in-law suite.
Overlooking the built-in gunite pool is a raised, covered paver patio with an adjacent outdoor entertainment kitchen. A half bath accessible only from the pool area is great for pool guests.
