California Cool: Foxcroft Ranch in Charlotte


This Cool California Ranch is the exception- not the rule- in Charlotte.  It's hard to find the low slung lines of a modern home like this.   Situated in Foxcroft, one of Charlotte's premier neighborhoods, this classic has not been "re-muddled".   Set back from the road on over a half acre private lot, it has all the style it did when it was built in 1965.  Strolling up the slate walkway you have expect Don Draper to meet you at the door.




The slate continues into the entry and wraps up to the ceiling in a dramatic wall - perfect for hanging your prized modern art piece. 
This opens up to a enormous living room with vaulted beamed ceilings and a slate fireplace.  This home gives modern a "classic" twist.  It's warm walls of wood just dare you to pour yourself a drink and take a stroll out to the pool and patio.  Relax, there is nothing to do here but make the guest list for your cocktail party.  


Walls of glass look out to the gorgeous backyard and patio.  Every room connects to it! This mid-century modern home has four bedrooms and five full baths.  The kitchen has been updated with simple white cabinets and a cool mosaic tile backsplash. There is a great family room at the back of the house over looking the pool too.

Deals, bargains, steals!  What ever you want to call them.... there are some out there if you are looking for a Mid-Century Modern home in Charlotte.  I went thru the Charlotte MLS and found a few of my best modern bets this week.   Whether you are looking for a total fixer upper or a foreclosure "steal" ... check out my picks of the week.

1]  1238 Lynbrook in Sherwood Forest - This may be the deal of the year.  A foreclosure and they just lowered the price to $134,900.  This house has all the Atomic Ranch lines you love. It was renovated a few years ago by a builder and he put in two new baths and a new kitchen.  They are not modern in style, but they are new.  So you can live with them till you redo it.  It has pretty dark stained wood floors.  It also has lots of other updates that you will not find in this price point.  I bet it'll have multiple offers on it by Tuesday... so move fast!

2]  3131 Dunlavin Way -  This is in Charlotte's Country Club neighborhood near Plaza Midwood. It has been renovated with a new mod kitchen.  They keep dropping the price and at $114,900 this is a great deal especially for first-time buyers.

3] 1833 Academy St.  in Eastwood Park.  Behind the Giant Penny, across from Noda, Eastwood Park has some mods, and a lot of post war bungalows. If you have the "skilz" to remodel and renovate at only $36,500  you can hardly go wrong on this one!  That's right, $36,500 for about 1400 square feet, (3 beds/2baths) of modern potential.

4] 1438 Larkfield Ln.  Located in Starmount near the light rail.  This has been updated and has a new roof and new HVAC.  It's not a screaming deal, at $139,000, but it's a nice clean modern with vaulted ceilings and a flat back yard. It would make a great starter home.

5] 100 Wexford in Madison Park.  This is a short sale, and a good deal. The kitchen has been opened up to the living room and just needs your contemporary style. It's got hardwood floors, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a big sunroom with a fireplace.  You can walk to the light rail from this one too!
