1300 Queens Rd UNIT 308, Charlotte, NC 28207

Extraordinary condo in one of Charlotte's last two remaining Mid-Century Modern buildings and the only one located in exclusive Myers Park. Queens Towers has been the home to some of the leading philanthropists in Charlotte (North Carolina's Performing Arts Center bears their name) as well as the temporary residence of stars of stage and screen who were the guests of owners while living here. But the history of Queens Towers in not rooted only in the past: current owners include a well-regarded and very popular designer of Ritz Carlton residences as well as spectacular Florida mansions, owners from Europe, leading medical directors of large medical and scientific corporations, leading national patent attorneys, and collectors of contemporary art. Queens Towers modest exterior fools persons looking for obvious displays of wealth, and is not for someone who needs the assurance of a facade to determine their net worth; rather, it is the kind of place where persons of means can be comfortably private, yet still be in the middle of all of the best attractions which Charlotte has to offer. This condo was one of only two in Queens Towers included in Historic Charlotte's Mid-Century Modern Tour in 2014, when two owners decided to let Charlotte see places they had never seen before. The condo for sale has more in common with exclusive properties in older buildings in New York City, Chicago, San Francisco or Los Angeles than it has with Charlotte’s typical "look at me" faux Southern or Colonial properties and indifferent and unexceptional architecture. The modern lines, simplicity & the blending of the indoors & outdoors has stood the test of time & once again is the obsession of design enthusiasts. Wall to wall parquet floors & large windows/walls of sliding glass doors allow for exceptional natural light. Four bedrooms. 3 full baths including an enlarged marble master bath with large walk in two-person shower; Library off large living room with gas fireplace.
