Charlotte, NC 28211

This Modernist home was designed by architect W. Stanley Russell of Charlotte. The home combines the latest in building technology with modern design concepts for today’s modern lifestyle.

The design is reminiscent of classic mid-century modern design with elements of Wright’s Prairie Style intertwined. The floorplan is open and the dramatic great room provides a large versatile space for dining, entertaining and relaxing. The home opens onto numerous outdoor patio spaces which provide a seamless connection to nature. A beautiful blend of honed granite, large Riviera Gold granite slabs, maple ceilings and floors, custom steel stairs and front gate, brick pillars, cherry cabinetry, glass tiles and walls of glass equal a warm and textured living environment that is beautiful, dramatic and extremely functional.

The home also has a separate detached garage and guesthouse that provides an additional 1,000 plus square feet of flex space; perfect for artist studio and workshop, exercise room, or additional sleeping quarters with a full bathroom.

This unique modern home is built on a large .72 acre lot in the beautiful Cotswold neighborhood. Centrally located and minutes to Southpark, Cotswold Mall and easy commute to Uptown.
