From Caroline Burman

A historic landmark estate, regarded as one of the most esteemed properties in Charlotte, N.C., is now on the market through Dickens Mitchener, a Member of Luxury Portfolio International® (LPI), the luxury marketing division of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World®.

Offered at U.S. $6.95 million, 1508 Dilworth Rd. was built in 1919. Encircled by lush gardens, the iconic brick retreat has undergone a meticulous top-to-bottom renovation, blending its original craftsmanship and distinct designs with contemporary comforts and conveniences.

Renovated by nationally revered, award-winning architect Ruard Veltman -- in tandem with Whitlock Builders and locally-based mother-daughter interior design duo Cindy Smith and Heather Smith – the home’s entire floorplan has been thoughtfully reimagined to ensure the utmost luxuries for everyday living and entertaining.

Ruard Veltman re-designed the interior spaces, as well as a large screened-in porch with a fireplace, the pool area, and guest house with a kitchen. Additional spaces by the architect include a detached two-car garage and a fully insulated gym with heating and air-conditioning. Whitlock Builders painstakingly updated every detail in the home, including all-new electrical wiring, plumbing, and windows.

The kitchen is a chef’s dream, complete with a professional-grade Lacanche stove, custom cabinetry, Calcutta marble countertops, and a laser-cut stainless steel-and-brass backsplash. There is additionally an adjacent working kitchen with stainless-steel countertops and new SubZero appliances. The pantry features easy-glide pull-out shelves and a spectacular wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, which beautifully frame views of the serene reflecting pool and verdant backyard.

Further highlights in the home include the extremely private master suite, which is set back from Dilworth Road and has been outfitted with automatic drapes. The closet, likened to a luxury clothing boutique, has clothing rods with LED lighting as well as walls of custom cabinetry. The master bath includes a custom walk-in shower, marble double sinks, vanities, and his-and-hers seven-foot, free-standing storage cabinets.

Outside, the professionally landscaped grounds -- which comprise nearly an acre of land -- are replete with private gardens, a family-friendly pool and spa, and a tranquil waterfall.

“This expansive home-site is a rare offering -- a state-of-the-art property that’s not only marked by a rich history and extreme privacy, but a prized location in the heart of Dilworth, one of Charlotte’s most sought-after enclaves,” said Aubrey Grier, a top-producer with Dickens Mitchener/Luxury Portfolio International®. “It is a great honor to unveil this must-see manse to the global market.”
