Transitional turns Modern in Charlotte NC's Cloisters

2515 Cloister Drive may be slightly traditional on the outside but a total WOW on the inside.  This unique modern ranch home on the pond in The Cloisters in Charlotte, NC has  loads of style and a super location.


Once you step inside the doors you find custom modern details at every turn.  The open floor plan leads you thru the formal living room with it's two sided fireplace to the family room.  The ceiling soars above the stacked stone fireplace in the comfortable family room with a wall of windows looking out to the pond.
The kitchen is a knock out with it's stainless wrapped island, zebrawood custom cabinetry and five burner LaCornue stove.  There is also a prep pantry with a custom concrete sink, wine cooler and loads of storage with modern style.

One of my favorite rooms is the curved sun room that with views of the pond.  You won't find a room like this on many other houses.  Also curving is the outside stair case that circles down to the slate patio.  
The stairs are so 60's Mod - 
I love them.


There are walls of glass everywhere including the basement.  Here you have a cozy playroom and a vintage  kitchen with original gas stove - so cute.

Charlotte NC Most Modern Neighborhoods: The Cloisters

Although Charlotte, NC doesn't have any neighborhoods that are exclusively modern it does have few neighborhoods that have an above average concentration of mid-century modern homes and what is usually dubbed the atomic ranch.

The first in this neighborhood series:

The Cloisters - This enclave of homes off Providence Road about half way between  Sharon Road and Fairview.  The Cloisters consist of only three roads, a large loop around a pond called Cloister Drive, and two other roads, coming in to it, Pickwick, and Warrington.   A few of my favorite modern homes are in this neighborhood.  When you enter the neighborhood at the corner of Warrington and The Cloisters, 1818 Cloister Drive captures the fun of Modern with it's custom mod metal column to greet you.   Further down Cloister Drive other great homes are 2535 Cloister Drive  currently being restored by Bill and Sue Davis, and  The Solomon and Shirley Levine house at 2300 Clositer Dr. According to the Charlotte Mecklenburg Landmarks Commission, "The Cloisters is one of Charlotte's best preserved examples of upscale suburban landscape planning".
