About the property

Rare 3-Bedroom Historic Condo with Skyline Views in Fourth Ward

This exceptional three-bedroom, two-bath condominium in The Poplar delivers a rare combination of historic detail and contemporary convenience right in Charlotte’s Fourth Ward. At approximately 1,523 square feet, Unit 308 stands apart from typical downtown offerings — it’s roomy enough for families, remote workers, or buyers who want separate sleeping and office spaces without sacrificing location. High ceilings and the signature fireplace flanked by built-ins give living spaces warmth and architectural presence; wood and tile floors provide a durable, elegant foundation throughout.

The updated kitchen was thoughtfully outfitted with stainless appliances, wall oven, induction/electric cooktop options, generous cabinetry and a separate beverage/bar fridge that’s perfect for entertaining. The primary suite sits privately away from the other bedrooms and includes an ensuite with heated flooring — a small luxury that elevates daily comfort. Two additional bedrooms plus a dedicated sunroom/office create flexible layout possibilities: guest suite, dedicated workspace, or media room.

Practical amenities make urban living easier: allocated basement storage and a common laundry room with multiple machines; building systems include a heat pump for heating and cooling. The building’s rooftop common area is currently being redone as part of a roof replacement project; once completed the rooftop will offer outstanding city skyline views and valuable outdoor living space for residents. The unit’s assigned parking is via the building’s parking lot—verify stall assignment with the HOA prior to closing.

Location is the home’s other major asset: walk to Fourth Ward Park, the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, Truist Field, restaurants and coffee shops, and Uptown’s office core. Whether you’re seeking a distinctive owner-occupied residence or a well-located multi-bedroom rental, this Poplar condo offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Charlotte history with modern systems and immediate access to the city’s best amenities. Schedule a showing to experience the scale and character in person.

Editorial market perspective

Fourth Ward and the broader Uptown Charlotte condo market remain desirable for buyers seeking walkability and proximity to jobs, entertainment and sports venues. Inventory of larger three-bedroom condos is limited, which supports pricing premiums for well-maintained historic conversions. Recent market conditions show modest appreciation year-over-year (low single digits) with five-year gains in the high teens. Days-on-market for centrally located condos typically runs in the 20–60 day range depending on price and condition; this listing’s position — larger footprint, upgraded finishes, rooftop amenity upside — should attract both owner-occupiers and professional renters. Buyers should confirm HOA dues and any rooftop-related assessments; sellers should highlight rooftop completion and parking assignment to maximize buyer interest.
