Welcome to 1716 Umstead Street in Villa Heights — a showstopper in one of Charlotte’s most sought-after neighborhoods and home to some of the best walkability in the city! The light rail, breweries, coffee shops, restaurants, greenway access, and Uptown are all just steps away. No detail was overlooked in this gorgeously renovated bungalow! You'll love the open and transitional floorplan that features beautiful arches and an oversized main hallway, with wainscoting adding texture and character in the hallway and the primary suite. LVP flooring and trendy tile, modern wallpaper accents in the dining area, and drop zone are some of the many details that make this home stand apart from the rest. The layout features a split bedroom plan with two secondary bedrooms connected by a stylish Jack-and-Jill bath. The owner’s suite feels elevated and private, with an oversized walk-in closet and a spa-like bath showcasing an oversized shower and gorgeous finishes throughout. The kitchen features a gas range, semi-custom cabinets, an island and trendy modern selections— perfect for everyday cooking or hosting friends and family. Combined with the open layout, it sets the stage for easy flow that is perfect for entertaining. The outdoor space is a host’s dream! The backyard is fully fenced with a large, oversized deck — partially covered for year-round use — and plenty of room for grilling, gatherings, gardening, or letting the pups run. It’s rare to get this kind of outdoor hang space this close to Uptown. Close to Optimist Hall, NoDa, Cordelia Park, Uptown, and the light rail — all the spots that make Villa Heights such a coveted pocket of Charlotte. And with no HOA and no short-term rental restrictions, you’ve got flexibility to live, rent, or host on your own terms. New roof, HVAC, water heater, plumbing, electrical & windows. Bonus: $3,000 in lender-paid credits available for qualified buyers who use the seller’s preferred lender — can be used to buy down your rate or offset closing costs.
