To some, this 1932 tired home may have been a candidate for a teardown. Now, it’s a beacon of hope for preserving Charlotte’s architecture.
You wouldn’t have noticed this home when driving down Beverly Drive in the Myers Park neighborhood of Charlotte, NC a few years ago. But now, with fresh landscaping, cleaned up exterior and a new, prominent portico, 1633 Beverly Drive is a slow-down, roll your window down and admire the curb-appeal sort of house. In fact, when I was filming this home, a gentleman stopped on his walk to compliment the architect and builder.
While some homes truly cannot be saved, this home is a beautiful example of what you can do, with the help of a creative architect and thoughtful builder, to preserve and update an older home to give it new life for today’s family. Just wait until you see the inside! You can find my complete home tour on Instagram here.
