4 Bedrooms Single Family Detached

A Rare Modern Estate on 1.45 Private Acres in Charlotte’s Prestigious Pellyn Wood
Perfectly positioned in one of SouthPark’s most coveted neighborhoods, this extraordinary 4,672-square-foot luxury residence offers a level of privacy, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design rarely found inside the city. Set on 1.45 acres of lush, park-like grounds overlooking Pellyn Wood Pond and Creek, the home has been extensively reimagined to create a sophisticated retreat where architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony, with serene views from every room. Expansive walls of glass frame the mature trees and tranquil water beyond, creating an atmosphere that feels worlds away while remaining just minutes from SouthPark’s fine dining and luxury shopping, Uptown Charlotte, Ballantyne, and premier private schools.
Designed for effortless everyday living and exceptional entertaining, the heart of the home is a true chef’s kitchen with a barrel vaulted ceiling. A professional-grade Dacor six-burner dual-oven gas range with pot-filler faucet, double-front refrigerator/freezer, built-in microwave and coffee maker, and a leathered dolomite island with seating for four combine beauty with exceptional functionality. A dedicated dining area with its own fireplace, a pass-through wine bar and refrigerator, and a butler’s pantry featuring a second refrigerator, sink, and dishwasher complete one of the most impressive kitchens available in today’s market. The adjoining dining room, expansive living room with fireplace, and sunroom are surrounded by walls of windows overlooking the wooded valley and pond.
The main-level primary suite is a private sanctuary featuring a wall-to-wall window seat with peaceful pond views. The spa-inspired bath showcases a custom copper soaking tub, waterfall shower, matte black fixtures, and separate his-and-her vanities. Remarkable walk-in closets feature skylights, a convenient sink, and generous custom cabinetry. Just off the suite, a flexible room provides the perfect space for a private office, library, nursery, or fitness room. A spacious mudroom and laundry room complete the main level.
Seamless indoor-outdoor living defines the property with easy access to a private paver terrace, striking outdoor fireplace, and built-in barbecue overlooking the woodlands and pond, creating an ideal setting for both intimate evenings and large-scale entertaining. A custom slate front porch with a swing offers another peaceful place to relax and enjoy the surrounding landscape.
Upstairs, three additional bedrooms, including one en suite and two connected by an oversized Jack and Jill bath, provide comfortable accommodations while capturing beautiful long-range views of the surrounding trees and water.
Luxury extends beyond the interior with four dedicated garage spaces: two attached to the home and two in a newly constructed, climate-controlled detached building with epoxy floors, equally suited as a workshop, collector’s garage, fitness studio, or hobby space. The expansive paver driveway provides abundant guest parking.
