Mid-century Modern Restoration
The Mitchum House
7212 Benita Drive
Charlotte, NC 28212
This home was built in 1964 and designed by NC architect Aubrey Youngue Arant, Jr for the Mitchum family, founder of The Mitchum Chip (snack) Company of Charlotte.
The current owner has completed a stunning restoration that blends the original 1960’s mid-century modern era with a 2010 modern lifestyle. Original features have been meticulously restored and new details are pitch perfect. Everything from the new kitchen to the fresh landscape design are exact and true to classic modern design. Every detail has been thoughtfully selected with regards to functioning in today’s busy lifestyle, yet encompassing a relaxing zen quality.
The home is filled with original and new custom details. A black granite mosaic tile floor was added to accent the original custom wall tiles and reflects the pattern of the custom iron railings. A Vermont slate floor has been restored revealing its natural beauty. The original details shine and the newly added further enhance the beauty and function. Need directions?
