In the heart of Plaza-Midwood, Salins Group has transformed the historic Shaw house, exceeding expectations for modern living, while preserving its classic architecture of the 1920’s. As it is on the registry of the CharlotteMecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission, the owner will enjoy a 50% tax exemption on the entire property. The sweeping front yard creates a park-like setting, so close to Uptown. Step into the grace of the grand foyer flanked by the living and dining rooms. A quiet study has a corner fireplace and access to a private covered porch. The chef’s kitchen opens to the breath-taking great room that overlooks an expansive patio and the community green. Equipped with a scullery and wet bar, the home was made for entertaining. The primary suite- a true retreat features a luxurious bath and two very custom walk-in closets. All secondary bedrooms are ensuite and everyone appreciates a back staircase. The room above the garage offers abundant storage. Charm meets function.
