Welcome to Eleanor One half of a duplex with no HOA, it is a 106-year-old, three-story Victorian thoughtfully updated for modern living while reserving the historic character that makes the home special. From the moment you walk inside, Eleanor feels distinctive. The home features a gorgeous imperial staircase, beautiful architectural details, and an indoor gas fireplace that keeps the house wonderfully warm and cozy during the colder months. And the location is hard to beat. Eleanor sits in Charlotte's historic Fourth Ward, just blocks from the heart of Uptown. From the house, you can walk to Bank of America Stadium for Panthers games and major concerts, Truist Field for Knights games, and the restaurants, bars, entertainment, and cultural attractions throughout Uptown. It's a rare combination: the privacy, space, front and backyard of a standalone historic home, with the center of Charlotte right outside your door. The first floor has an open and inviting layout connecting the living room, dining area, chef's kitchen, and a separate office overlooking the private backyard. Whether you work from home, entertain regularly, or simply want room to spread out, the layout provides distinct spaces without making the home feel closed off. The chef's kitchen is designed for someone who genuinely enjoys cooking and entertaining. It features a six-burner commercial-style gas range with indoor grill, two separate sinks, two brand-new premium wall ovens valued at approximately $5,000, a brand-new refrigerator, generous preparation space, and plenty of room to host family and friends. Eleanor offers three bedrooms across the upper levels. The spacious primary suite includes a private full bathroom and its own patio. A second bedroom is located on the opposite end of the second floor and also includes an attached full bathroom, providing excellent privacy for guests, family members, or roommates. Between the two bedrooms is a comfortable second-floor lounge, perfect for reading, relaxing, watching television, or creating an additional work-from-home space. The third floor offers perhaps the most unique room in the house: a private bedroom featuring a custom mural commissioned from local artist Nico, giving the space a creative personality all its own. The third floor also provides access to a large attic with substantial additional storage space an especially valuable feature for anyone planning to make Eleanor home for several years. Outside, the home includes both a private front yard and private backyard, along with an outdoor wood-burning fireplace that makes the backyard a wonderful place to entertain or spend cool Charlotte evenings with friends. Although Eleanor is more than a century old, the home has been extensively modernized and updated. Recent improvements include a brand-new HVAC system, brand-new refrigerator, brand-new dryer, two brand-new premium ovens, and numerous additional updates throughout the property. A washer and dryer are located inside the home. The home is privately owned and managed directly by the owner who wants Eleanor to feel like your home while you're living here not simply a rental property. If you're looking for a home with genuine historic character, modern comforts, generous living and storage space, private outdoor areas, and exceptional walkability to Uptown Charlotte, Eleanor offers something that is increasingly difficult to find: the charm and privacy of a historic single-family home with the energy and convenience of the city just outside your door.
