Zen Modern Home in Foxcroft

3847 Columbine Circle
Charlotte, NC

This premier modern home in Charlotte was built in 1973 for the family of Henry Miller, founder of Miller Tile Company. This home was designed by award-winning architect W. Crutcher Ross, whose architectural firm was renowned for its high-end custom projects.

The home is designed in what is known as the "Sea Ranch " style, made famous by the Sea Ranch Community in Northern California. This community was founded upon the philosophy of living "lightly on the land". Its residences achieve a harmonious blend with the surrounding landscape and a seamless connection to the environment.

The Miller Home incorporates an organic blend of materials and showcases the artisan tile for which the Miller Tile Company was famous. The home wraps around an open Japanese-style atrium featuring a magnificent river birch tree. Walls of glass, Douglas fir ceilings and solid doors, cedar shake roof, and cedar siding further enhance the connection with nature. Despite the abundance of light and glass, the interior of the home is private and visually secluded.

This modern Charlotte home in the prestigious Foxcroft neighborhood is situated on an acre adorned with perennial and herb gardens. Outdoor sitting areas and decks provide a restful retreat. Combining a unique blend of thoughtful design and organic elements, this home truly lives "lightly on the land" while at the same time embodying the best in high-style architecture. Centrally located, the Foxcroft neighborhood is only minutes from the Southpark retail and business district as well as Uptown Charlotte, and popular schools.
