Step into this exceptional Mid-Century Modern post-and-beam home, designed by renowned Charlotte architect Harold Cooler in 1956. Original slate flooring, white birch paneling, and distinctive architectural details set the tone throughout. The living room features a dramatic 23-foot window wall, clerestory windows, custom built-ins, and views of the mature gardens, with a screened deck extending the living space outdoors.
The updated kitchen and breakfast room blend modern function with Mid-Century style, featuring cherry cabinetry, cork flooring, chiseled-edge countertops, and a classic Louis Poulsen light fixture. The bedroom wing showcases original black walnut veneer doors, custom storage, and a striking African flame wood and ebony feature wall in the primary bedroom.
Outside, a detached studio with a 14-foot peaked ceiling offers flexible space for an office, creative studio, or music room. Mature gardens, terraced walkways, and wooded views surround the home. Conveniently located near Cotswold Village, the Mint Museum Randolph, SouthPark, Freedom Park, and Uptown Charlotte, this is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully preserved piece of Charlotte architectural history.
