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.
Welcome to 1701 Springdale Avenue. This beautifully preserved 1925 Craftsman bungalow sits on a .29-acre corner lot in the heart of historic Dilworth. The home features high ceilings, well-proportioned rooms, custom millwork, and thoughtful finishes throughout. A classic rocking chair front porch opens to a welcoming living room with an original fireplace and a spacious dining room, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A charming vintage swinging door leads to a beautifully updated kitchen with a large island, custom painted cabinetry, high-end Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, and a sunny breakfast nook. The main level includes two spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets, along with two and a half additional baths, including an en-suite with shower and a hall bath with a vintage clawfoot tub. A cozy, light-filled den or office sits just off the kitchen and overlooks the rear yard. Upstairs, the primary suite offers dual baths, generous closets, a sitting area, and a private rear porch, perfect for morning coffee or quiet reading. An additional bonus room or bedroom and a laundry area add flexibility and convenience. The fenced rear yard is designed for outdoor living and entertaining, featuring a deck, brick patio, and mature landscaping with established trees. Located just one block from Latta Park, with its walking trails and green space, this home also offers easy access to East Boulevard, South End, and Uptown Charlotte for dining, shopping, and commuting. Elegantly preserved with a nod to its historic character while incorporating modern conveniences, this is a truly special place to call home.
