Welcome home to this renovated all-brick ranch in Charlotte's Druid Hills, just minutes from NoDa, Camp North End, the NC Music Factory and Uptown. Taken down to the studs and rebuilt with care, this 4-bedroom, 2-full-bath home blends 1960s character with the updates today's buyers want. Fresh light gray paint, crisp white trim and recessed lighting give the whole home a bright, clean feel. The living room is built around a painted white brick fireplace and mantel, with a ceiling fan overhead and a separate dining area by the front door. The kitchen is the showpiece: white shaker cabinets, granite counters and a large granite island with room to gather, plus stainless steel appliances including a side-by-side refrigerator with water and ice, electric range, over-range microwave and dishwasher. Rich plank floors run through the main living areas. Big-ticket items are already done, with new windows, doors, HVAC and furnace, and a tankless water heater. Out back, a spacious privacy-fenced yard is ready for weekend cookouts, gardening or simply unwinding. Washer, dryer and refrigerator convey. One-level living, a full brick exterior and a location close to the best of Charlotte make this one worth seeing soon.
