At roughly 3,654 square feet, this two-story Craftsman-style residence offers 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths across an open plan tuned for modern family life. The heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry, a large waterfall-edge center island, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, and a gas cooktop — all flowing directly into a spacious living area anchored by a stone, dual-sided fireplace that also warms a cozy den/sunroom.
Main-level features include wide-plank hardwood flooring, a flexible built-in desk room perfect for a home office or craft space, and a practical drop zone off the garage. Upstairs delivers a roomy primary suite with a dedicated sitting area or workout niche, a spa-like ensuite with a large walk-in shower and soaking tub, dual vanities, and generous closet storage. Secondary bedrooms are well-proportioned with abundant closet space and easy access to full baths. An upstairs laundry adds everyday convenience.
Outside, the nearly 0.20-acre lot gives you space for outdoor living and landscape personalization without the maintenance burden of a large yard. A two-car attached garage and driveway increase parking capacity. Whether you’re entertaining in the open living spaces or enjoying quieter evenings by the fireplace, this home offers a premium turnkey experience in one of Charlotte’s sought-after inner neighborhoods.
Located in the Oakhurst/Elizabeth corridor, you’re minutes from Freedom Park’s trails, local restaurants and breweries in Plaza Midwood, and quick routes to SouthPark and Uptown.

A factual market snapshot around 1607 Chippendale Rd.
Inner Charlotte neighborhoods like Oakhurst and the Elizabeth/Plaza Midwood corridor continue to draw buyers who want larger footprints and walkable access to parks and urban amenities. As of early 2026 the local market shows steady appreciation — estimated roughly +4% year-over-year and stronger multi-year gains — with low inventory in the well-located single-family segment. New construction with premium finishes performs well and typically sees faster sales and smaller concessions than comparable dated stock. For buyers, that means being prepared with pre-approval and clean, timely offers. For investors, the combination of strong rental demand for turnkey larger homes and steady appreciation makes this an attractive addition to a long-term portfolio.
Likely residential single-family zoning (single-family detached), typical Charlotte urban-residential lot rules apply.
