    Here Is Your Chance To Own A Home That Feels As Though It Was Plucked Straight From The Pages Of Architectural Digest. Built In 1929 And Thoughtfully Reimagined With An Artful Eye For Design, This Quintessential Historic Bungalow Is Positioned On Beloved Thomas Avenue, Arguably One Of The Most Coveted And Cherished Tree-Lined Bungalow Streets In All Of Charlotte. This Is The Kind Of Home That Does Not Come Along Often. The Street. The Setting. The Placement Within The Neighborhood. The Architecture. The Design. The Flow. The Details. It Truly Has It All, And It Has Been Beautifully Considered From Top To Bottom So You Can Simply Move In, Settle In And Enjoy! Inside, Original Bungalow Character Meets Elevated Modern Design At Every Turn. Exposed Beams, Beautiful Hardwoods, An Open-Concept Living, And A Custom Reclaimed-Wood Fireplace Create A Warm, Collected Backdrop That Feels Both Sophisticated And Inviting. The Kitchen Is Equal Parts Showstopper And Workhorse, Featuring A Six-Burner 48-Inch Dacor Gas Range, Concrete Countertops, Custom Cabinetry And A Thoughtfully Designed Pantry. And While The Charm Is Abundant, The Functionality Is Equally Impressive. This Home Was Renovated With Real Life In Mind, Offering The Storage And Spaces That Historic Homes Often Lack—Including An Oversized Laundry Room, Built-In Shelving And A Generous Primary Walk-In Closet. Tucked Privately At The Rear Of The Home, The Primary Suite Feels Like Its Own Retreat. French Doors Open Directly To The Private Back Porch, Creating An Effortless Connection To The Outdoors. The Backyard Continues The Story With Additional Patio Space And Plenty Of Room To Create Your Own Private Urban Oasis. And Then There Is The Detached Workshop—A Truly Special Bonus With Incredible Potential. The Previous Owner Began The Process Of Exploring Its Conversion Into An ADU, With Architectural Drawings Available Upon Request. The Structure Already Has Its Own Electric Meter, Opening The Door To A Multitude Of Possibilities For A Future Guest Suite, Studio, Office Or ADU. Recent Improvements Include A New Vapor Barrier, French Drain And Sump Pump In The Crawlspace (2025); New Tankless Water Heater (2025); New Roofs On Both The Main House And Workshop (2026); New Electrical Service To The Workshop (2026); And Architectural Drawings For The Potential ADU Conversion (2026). This Is More Than A Beautifully Renovated Bungalow. It Is A Home With Soul, An Extraordinary Address, And The Kind Of Design That Makes You Stop And Appreciate Every Room!
