Atomic Ranch in Madison Park - Charlotte

5310 Glenham Drive: Atomic Ranch 

Wow!  We love this Madison Park Atomic Ranch has been renovated with much love.   When you pull up to the house it's hard not to notice it's sleek landscaping and smart style.  The low pitched roof spans across it's modern carport. Don't miss the cool planter on wheels that provides privacy for the patio.

Inside the owners have updated the kitchen with sleek contemporary cabinets, mosaic tile backsplash and Silestone countertops.  They also opened it up to the large family room so it's great for entertaining.  The fireplace covers the back wall with floor to ceiling thin stack brick with a copper fireplace surround.  

Rolling Planter and New Metal Roof!

Through out the house has vaulted beamed ceilings.  The standing seam metal roof will last for years to come - and looks great too.  

There is terrific out door space too!  Off the master suite there is a private patio on the side yard. The back yard is beautifully landscaped and there is a large new patio with room for a hot tub.  

There are few fab mid-century modern homes in Charlotte in this price range - so don't miss this one.   Fantastic location, swell style, and nothing to do but hang the art.   

Super Cool modern back yard.

"Mayberry Modernism"

Think all the South has to offer is Aunt Bee's fried chicken dinner with Ang and Opey?   Then don't miss George Smart (Triangle Modern Expert Extraordinaire) as he talks about all the cool houses the Triangle has to offer.  This Thursday at 5 pm,  at the Historic Salisbury Station Smart will present "Mayberry Modernism:Why the Triangle is America's Hotspot for Way Cool Houses.  He will point out some of Salisbury's best examples of Modernist architecture including the work of John Erwin Ramsay.   The event is sponsored by The Historic Salisbury Foundation in partnership with Stout Studio Architecture.  It should be a great event so pack up the station wagon (remember the wood paneled siding?) and don't forget to stop and get some Richard's Bar-BQ after the lecture.  Get your Mayberry and Modern Groove ON!
