1222 Burtonwood Circle

Description

Mid-century modern architecture, more than an acre of land, and one of Charlotte's hidden-gem neighborhoods; Burtonwood. Built in 1960 and set on an incredible 1.2-acre homesite, this sprawling one-level residence captures the character that makes Burtonwood so special—from its low-slung profile and walls of windows to warm wood accents, clean architectural lines and an effortless connection to the outdoors. Inside, approximately 2,500 square feet offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths and an exceptionally versatile layout with refinished hardwood floors throughout the main living areas. Multiple gathering spaces include a light-filled living room, dining room and spacious keeping/family room, while two gas fireplaces add warmth and character. A separate office provides valuable work-from-home space, with a dedicated laundry room conveniently located nearby. The kitchen maintains the home's retro-modern personality while incorporating thoughtful updates, including stainless appliances, a farmhouse-style stainless sink, gas range, penny-tile backsplash, generous cabinetry and casual counter seating. The private primary suite delivers an unexpected level of space and function with a beautifully updated bath featuring dual vanities and an oversized custom-tiled shower with seamless glass, bench and dual shower heads. An enormous walk-in closet features custom industrial-style shelving plus additional laundry hookups—an especially convenient second laundry option. Outside is where this property becomes truly exceptional. The expansive 1.2-acre lot feels more like a private retreat than a typical city homesite, with mature trees, broad lawns and tremendous possibilities for future outdoor living. A custom concrete-paver patio with integrated turf creates a distinctive entertaining space complete with an outdoor fire pit and in-ground gas grill. The fully fenced rear yard features a custom gate, while a rear-load two-car carport preserves the home's clean architectural presence from the street. Burtonwood itself is part of the story. Known for its collection of mid-century and Modernist homes, the neighborhood offers an increasingly rare combination of architectural character, mature trees and substantial homesites—all within Charlotte. Updated where it counts yet still filled with the details and personality that make a true mid-century home special, 1222 Burtonwood Circle is equally compelling as it stands today and for what it could become tomorrow. Live in it, personalize it, or take its remarkable architecture and 1.2-acre setting to the next level—the opportunity here is as unique as the home itself.
