Frank Gehry said, “Architecture should speak of its time and place but yearn for timelessness.” The home we’re about to see, 4536 Fox Brook Lane, exemplifies that philosophy. Spanning 14,000 square feet, this French Provincial residence is a master class in luxury, balance, and authenticity. It’s also possibly the largest and most extraordinary property ever to grace the Charlotte market.
“Nothing like this has ever come up for sale in Charlotte. No hyperbole. There’s been nothing like it,” says Steve Lonnen, Owner of SL Home Group with REAL Broker “There’s so much history and character in every detail it’s almost impossible to tell the whole story. It took four years to build because every material was thoughtfully selected, bespoke fixtures were sourced from all over the world, and expert craftsmanship was applied to every detail. Every piece of stone on the exterior and hardscaping was hand-chipped. That’s the level of attention that went into building this home.”
This Harry Schrader designed residence is situated within the exclusive Morrocroft Estates, nestled in the heart of South Park, the home and its carriage house are surrounded by lush, mature landscaping, creating a verdant fortress. “The location is unparalleled. It’s private, secure, and remarkably serene for its central Charlotte setting,” Lonnen says.
The stately exterior offers a glimpse into the meticulous craftsmanship, luxury, and elegance that define this exceptional home.Inside, discover six bedrooms, six bathrooms, three powder rooms, terraces on all levels, a gourmet kitchen with scullery, a library, a spa room with gym and
yoga studio, offices, a game room, a movie theater, and an expansive wine cellar. The secondary living quarters includes an additional bedroom, full bathroom, living room, and full kitchen.
Some of the exceptional details include a chef’s kitchen with a Classique Lacanche stove, oversized marble islands with sweeping views of the pool and lush backyard, high, coffered ceilings and custom millwork, hand-scraped Versailles parquet floors, and wood flooring repurposed from beams from a historic local building.
The library feels baronial, with a large stone fireplace, walls of windows, and French doors. There are seven large fireplaces, four have antique French mantels. It’s easy to imagine entertaining friends or toasting life with someone special at the Blue Roma quartzite tasting table that sits at the entrance of the 700+ bottle wine cellar.
Outdoor spaces are a private retreat featuring meticulously landscaped grounds, a sparkling saltwater swimming pool, and multiple patios for al fresco dining and entertaining. “This home has hosted some of the biggest, best and most exclusive parties,” Lonnen says. “Once, the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra played here on the green space overlooking the pool for over 250 distinguished guests.” Whether enjoying a quiet afternoon by the pool or entertaining under the stars, this oasis ensures every moment is savored in style.
For those seeking a private residence that seamlessly blends European sophistication with modern luxury and comfort in a prime location, 4536 Fox Brook Lane is the penultimate example of refinement and elegance in one of North Carolina’s most coveted communities.
“This home is all about timeless beauty combined with contemporary luxury living,” Lonnen says. The combination of everything the estate has along with its location offers everything you could want living in Charlotte.”

How innovative mortgage solutions can meet the complex needs of high-net-worth individuals
Traditional mortgages often can’t accommodate the complex financial situations of high-net-worth individuals (HNWI). Seasonal, variable, or complex income streams such as royalties, lottery winnings, rental income, or venture capital or angel investment income can mean a buyer is asset-rich but cash-poor. Though they’re more than capable of paying the loan, their proof doesn’t check the right boxes for a traditional mortgage.
To learn more about how innovation solutions can help HNWIs, we caught up with Tomeka Lynch-Purcell, President of PMG Worldwide Inc., an expert in creative financing for HNWIs with complex financial situations.
Q: What’s a high-net-worth mortgage, and who is it for?
This is a mortgage for homes that range from a million dollars to 20 million dollars and up. Ninety-nine percent of the time, clients in this price range have income challenges. For example, when you have seasonal income, like a professional athlete or actor, your income is seasonal or contract-driven. Sometimes, buyers haven’t filed taxes yet or have a lot of write-offs. I can use different programs that consider their assets and use them as income.
Q: Why wouldn’t HNWIs just pay cash?
Why liquidate your portfolio? That’s not what real estate is for. You never want to use liquid funds to buy a primary residence, especially if you get paid seasonally, like basketball or football players who may move every three years. We have to think logically and think about the future. I never recommend handing over cash unless it’s an investment property.
Q: Are more people buying luxury homes as legacies?
Legacy is huge now, and not just in homes. In general, we’re building legacies for generational wealth. As an African American woman, I want to leave generational wealth for my family, and real estate is how you do that. My own home is my legacy for my family.
Q: How is PMG Worldwide different than a traditional mortgage broker?
We have over twenty years of experience, and we can handle complex situations. Recently, we helped someone buy a 56-acre horse farm; many lenders can’t do that. I’m tapped into this market; they call me the creative financing lender. Our difference is we communicate, and we educate. We talk about what you want and how it can benefit you. I have a deep understanding of the luxury market, and this is a tailored experience that covers all the bases; whether it’s a jumbo loan, interest-only mortgage, bank statement loan, or something else, we’ll find a solution that fits the client’s broader financial plan.
Q: What creative ways can you help HNWI qualify for luxury home loans?
For example, we can use your assets as income or collateral; you can use real estate or rental properties you own as income or show a profit and loss document from your accountant to prove income. We help many people with seasonal income, like professional athletes, but we also have pathways for white-collar clients in complex situations.
