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.
Charming 1935 built Dilworth home with all the modern conveniences. Large flat rear lot with the specific CCR's for this home allowing for an extensive expansion. Walking up to the home notice the large covered porch, stone walkways and stone front facade. The remainder of the home's exterior is full brick with the roof replaced in 2020. Entering the foyer you'll find refinished hardwood floors and an open floorplan to the living room, dining room and family room. A warm and casual paint scheme plus plantation shutters are throughout the home. The remodeled kitchen has beautiful granite counters, newer cabinets, newer high level stainless steel appliances, gas range and beverage refrigerator. Two bedrooms and full remodeled bath are on the back side of the house. Side entrance leads to the drop zone and laundry area. Upstairs is the 728 foot primary bedroom suite area with remodeled bath, office space plus a sitting area. The walk-in attic storage options are accessed from the upper level. The side lot shared driveway has plenty of room for owner parking plus a gated entrance into a huge rear yard paved area. Out back you also find a paver patio for casual sitting, stone plant beds, rear grass area and storage shed. In the beds and garden plot and during the correct season the owners enjoyed fresh strawberries, watermelon, tomatoes, beans and cucumbers. Like many homes built in this era this home has a 400sf basement with a workshop and workout area. A new gas hot water heater was added in 2025 plus the plumbing was replaced to current materials and standards. The owners love the quaintness and charm of this area as well as enjoying the very short walk into Freedom Park and many fine restaurants located in the East Blvd and Dilworth area.
