Charlotte NC Neighborhoods - Myers Park
There is no better introduction to Charlotte NC than a tour through historic Myers Park, via Queens Road. Here some of the city’s grandest homes are framed by a canopy of massive, old willow oaks. Myers Park Charlotte NC emerged from a large cotton farm in 1911, when landscape architect John Nolen was hired to create a “garden suburb.” John Nolen & others, including Earle Sumner Draper, used the winding paths, following the natural landscape to create, what many think is now Charlotte's most beautiful community. Most of the historic homes in Myers Park reflect the Classic style from traditional brick Georgians to English Tudor.
In recent years upscale condominim buildings have been erected along the Myers Park Selwyn Avenue corridor and many of the older homes have been revitalized and are simply spectacular. Myers Park Charlotte NC is within walking distance to Freedom Park (which has some of the best lit public tennis courts in the area), Queens University, fine dining, upscale shopping and is only about 3 miles from Uptown Charlotte NC.
Homes in Myers Park Charlotte NC have retained their value over the years and shown steady but, not over-inflated appreciation. A Myers Park address remains one of the most sought-after in the city!

Hi Debe-What a picturesque place. Bet it would be a great place to live. Love the pics. Happy New Year. May it be your best one yet. <SMILE>
love the house - is your background different ? feels different? :-)
Hi Sharon! Thanks so much--this is one of my absolute favorite places in Charlotte! I just love it here and can't say enough wonderful things about Myers Park in Charlotte NC!
Hi Liz: Thanks! There's a great story about this house: I was asked to list and sell this house after 2 years of several agents not being able to sell it. I could not understand why they had so much trouble but, I went in as though it were a brand new listing--it was vacant and the seller would not do any staging. So I had my cleaning crew clean the inside, the yard crew fluff up the exterior and put a little stereo playing classical music inside (for an historic home, it just had to be classical)! Turned on the lights for showings and voila! TWO offers in two weeks! Sold and closed in just over a month!! My sellers were shocked!! So, like you, I love that house too!! LOL
As for the background--nothing's changed--I did start using blue font more lately. Could that be it?
Have a wonderful week...
