707 Charles Ave

One of the coolest homes in the coolest neighborhood in Charlotte. This 1896 historic mill house is just a few blocks away from all of the NoDa action - close enough to walk to the restaurants, bars, breweries, shops, YMCA; but far enough to enjoy the peaceful quiet of the pedestrian-friendly Charles Ave. Understood to be the oldest standing mill house in NoDa, the home was built in 1896 and thoughtfully remodeled by its current owners to bring out its charm. Inside you'll find newly renovated bathrooms with designer fixtures and tumbled Italian marble, an open kitchen with poured concrete countertops, newly refinished floors and natural light throughout. The home's charm really comes to life outside, where you'll enjoy a raised wrap-around back deck shielded in privacy by lush greenery, a beautifully landscaped and fully-fenced yard with over 40 varieties of flowers, a hand-crafted fire-pit area with a stocked wood shed with built-in cooler, and a cozy front porch to enjoy your morning coffee and meet neighbors passing by. You'll also have a full storage shed for your gear. Purposefully designed with lots of built in storage, a custom wine rack and beverage fridge, the home has modern appliances, including new oversized "smart" washer & dryer. The master bedroom has a thoughtfully crafted custom-built walk-in closet. If you're new to Charlotte, NoDa is arguably its coolest neighborhood. Known as the "Arts District", visitors come to buy art from locals, pop into one of the many shops to browse handicrafts, locally-made provisions, and vintage clothing, as well as to dine at the nearly two-dozen restaurants, bars, and coffee shops - all just a few short blocks from your front door. Three blocks away is the historically famous Johnston YMCA, where a membership includes an Olympic-sized pool, sauna, steam room, yoga and exercise classes. Alternatively, pop into one of NoDa's yoga studios or numerous parks, the closest within eye distance! Five blocks to the nearest light rail station, you can quickly be in Uptown Charlotte (1.6 miles) or the University area (8 miles) without getting in your car. Moreover, you are just a few minutes drive from a number of Charlotte's other notable neighborhoods -- Plaza Midwood, Optimist Park, Villa Heights, and Belmont -- expanding your restaurant, shopping, and wellness options five fold. Conveniently, a supermarket and pharmacy are a half-mile away.
