This is a beautiful ranch-style house that is located in Montibello, in South Charlotte. The Queen City is proud of its tree heritage, and this property pays homage to that. The professionally landscaped yard provides extraordinary privacy, with the house tucked away in its own little glen. In the back yard, a large wood deck has stairs and a pathway to an elevated 450 sq ft pool, with landscaping throughout.
At 4050 sq ft, the house is larger than it appears from outside. The 2.5 car garage has a refrigerator and chest freezer. There is also a 120 sq ft storage room with lockable door. The attic area is rough-finished for over 300 sq ft of storage and is accessed by a pull-down ladder.
The kitchen features granite countertops and ceramic tiled floor. Appliances are all top brands, including a Jenn-Air flat cooktop. The “breakfast nook” seats four comfortably. The great room has a vaulted ceiling, a wood-burning fireplace with chimney and hearth in rough-cut stone, and an entire wall of windows looking at the backyard area. The dining room easily seats eight, also with a large, glazed area overlooking the deck and yard. The master bath includes a jet-tub, shower, dual sinks, a private toilet, a skylight, and a private exterior door opening on to the deck and pool area. The house also includes a water softener system. The sunroom has two entire walls of windows, one with direct southern exposure. The bedroom area of the house is carpeted. The sunroom, front foyer, kitchen, nook, and laundry room are floored in ceramic tile. Hardwood floors are an excellent feature in the dining room and great room.

What the owner loves about this home
There are windows everywhere! These give beautiful views of the landscaped exterior. The seclusion offered by the greenery obscures neighboring properties so that it feels like you are just out in the middle of the woods.
Montibello is a quiet mid-upscale neighborhood. Groceries, pharmacies, etc. are less than 5 minutes away. Nearby public schools are Beverly Wood grade school, Carmel middle school, and South Mecklenburg high school. There are also several private schools within 5 miles including Charlotte Country Day, Charlotte Catholic HS, Charlotte Christian, Charlotte Prep, and Providence Day school.
This house and property stand a bit apart from the usual Montibello arrangement. The house is set on a small hill and is largely screened from the street by the huge trees and landscape greenery. This sense of seclusion wraps all the way around the house. You can see the neighbors, but you have to work at it. With the array of wildlife in the area, it is very easy to sit outside and feel like you are nowhere near a city. This house is a ‘hidden’ gem!
