George Stephens developed a plan for a streetcar suburb on his father-in-law’s (John Spring Myers) farm in 1905. The neighborhood was designed by the Harvard-trained landscape architect, John Nolen, and work was underway by 1911.
Myers Park is distinguished for its winding tree-lined streets, large historic homes and architectural variety. Due to its landscaped beauty, it is one of the most-visited parts of Charlotte.
For those short on time, a simple drive through the neighborhood is worthwhile in order to view the large, historic mansions along the main streets.
The most charming historic Myers Park home. This is one of the original classic Tudor homes in the highly sought-after Myers Park neighborhood. The location truly does not get better — right in the heart of it all. From the beautiful tree-lined street to the incredible proximity to shops, parks, restaurants, and everything Myers Park has to offer, this home is perfectly situated for enjoying the very best of Charlotte living. The home backs up to Myers Park Traditional School, though you would never know thanks to the mature privacy landscaping. The sellers absolutely loved being able have the convenience to walk straight from the home to the playground and soccer field — truly like having your own personal park right in the backyard. This home has been lovingly cared for by the same owners for many years and has been exceptionally maintained throughout. It is now ready for its next owner to bring their own vision and style to such a special property. The classic layout offers wonderful flow and timeless charm. The front entry opens to a welcoming foyer leading into the large formal living room with fireplace, as well as a cozy den/office space. There is a beautiful dining room that connects to the kitchen, and the sellers thoughtfully added a spacious back family room with an additional fireplace — the perfect place for entertaining or everyday living. A half bath and side entrance from the carport provide convenient access. Upstairs features three spacious secondary bedrooms, two full guest bathrooms, a laundry room, and a large primary suite complete with a huge bathroom and walk-in closet. One of the best aspects of this home is that it already has such incredible bones and a functional floor plan that major renovations are not necessary. Most updates would simply be cosmetic, aside from potential kitchen and back family room improvements. The kitchen could easily be opened to the large family room to create the ideal layout — open yet still traditional and full of character. Attached are quotes and concept drawings from builder Wiebler Two Designs showcasing options for this transformation. There is also tremendous opportunity to expand the home further if desired. The back right side of the house could easily be enclosed for additional square footage, and plans/quotes are attached for a detached two-car garage with heated living space above, including a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette — all at an extremely reasonable cost. Opportunities like this are incredibly rare in Myers Park: a dream location, beautiful lot, timeless historic charm, and the ability to update and add value while still remaining well below surrounding market values. Don’t miss the chance to make this special home your own.
