Contemporary Mad Deal of the Week

Charlotte's Medearis neighborhood has a handful of Contemporary's and 7045 Burlwood is a pretty nice one.  It is a steal of a deal and my Modern Mad Deal of the Week!   This home had an offer of $280,000 on it a year ago... and the sellers didn't take it.  Now it's bank owned and priced at $229,900!  This house has great style and huge rooms.  It just needs someone with a modern vision to put their mark on it.  The floor to ceiling brick fireplace would look fantastic with some stacked stone!  The floors are pergo and carpet ... so that needs changing but come on... it's huge space... and check it out:

  • The windows have been replaced with real nice expensive ones
  • The HVAC was replaced in the last 5 years or so...with a high end  system
  • The entire crawlspace is sealed... this is the nicest crawl space I've ever seen
  • The roof was also replaced probably in the last 6 years or so
There is a great 2 car garage that shelters a large deck with arbor that is off a family room space.  There is also a nice back deck and a sunroom too.  The bedrooms are all big, two are huge.  There is actually a downstairs and upstairs master.  

What else does it need?  The back yard is "au natural" and could use some landscaping.  The kitchen has corian countertops and the appliances aren't that old, but you might want to open it up to the dining room... you'd have great flow as it overlooks the family room.  At this price you can do everything your heart desires!  

To see this or any other Modern Home in Charlotte  give us a call - we'd love to show you all the great deals.  We are scoping them out - Every Day!
