Charlotte, NC 28205 2400 Mecklenburg Avenue

In the heart of Plaza-Midwood, the historic Shaw house exceeds expectations for modern living. As it is on the registry of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission, the owner will enjoy a 50% tax exemption on the entire property. The sweeping front yard creates a park-like setting, so close to Uptown. Step into the grace of the grand foyer flanked by the living and dining rooms. A quiet study has a corner fireplace and access to a private covered porch. The chef’s kitchen opens to the breath-taking great room that overlooks an expansive patio and landscaped yard surrounded by a brick wall. Equipped with a scullery and wet bar, the home was made for entertaining. The primary suite is a true retreat and features a luxurious bath and two very custom walk-in closets. All secondary bedrooms are ensuite and everyone appreciates the "Downton Abbey" back staircase. The room above the garage offers abundant storage. Charm meets function here.
