Spotlight: Kristen Lake

If you are interested in a lakefront home without the noise and busyness of Lake Wylie or Lake Norman, Kristen Lake might be more your speed. This small infill neighborhood is currently under construction in South Charlotte by builder Peachtree Residential. There are only 9 homes in this 4.2 acre enclave of luxury homes with a small picturesque lake.

Homes in Kristen Lake have rich architectural details reminiscent of the Georgian style. Homes are grand in scale ranging from 3,200 to almost 5,000 square feet of living space. Many of the homes have lake frontage and there are options for finished basement living areas for walk-out lakefront orientation. Homes have front and side-entry garages, many with three car garages.

Homes hare are two story with 4 or 5 bedrooms and 3.5-5 bathrooms. Three homes are already built included a finished and furnished model home. The remaining 6 lots allow you to customize and truly create the home that is right for you and your family. There are seven floor plans to choose from. These allow you an almost endless list of ways to truly make the space your own. Prices start in the $700,000’s and can go higher if you add finished basement spaces and additional bedrooms.

Even though Kristen Lake is a small neighborhood, the builders have made sure it will have fantastic details making it rival larger neighborhoods. There is an emphasis on pedestrians and this theme is seen in the home elevations, gas lanterns, brick pavers, porches, trellises, brick walls and landscaping. Kristen Lake compels you to walk around, visit with your neighbors and enjoy being outside.

Located at the intersection of Providence Road and Lakeside Drive, Kristen Lake is currently zoned for award winning schools. Children currently attend Providence Springs Elementary, Crestdale Middle, and Providence High Schools. Charlotte Latin and Carmel Christian are close by if you are interested in private schools.

The location of Kristen Lake is also great for easy access to Uptown Charlotte, Myers Park, the Arboretum, SouthPark, I-485, and Ballantyne. This means a commute will be no trouble. You are also poised to enjoy fine dining, entertainment, fitness, outdoor recreation and more.

If you are interested in being one of the few families to get in on Kristen Lake, give us a call at (704) 525-4045. You can also view current listings and create custom searches on our website here.

Kenwood Sharon Lane Luxury Residences Coming to Foxcroft

Foxcroft has long been an exclusive SouthPark neighborhood. There are limited opportunities to buy into one of these luxury homes, but there are about to be 10 more chances. Developer Jim Gross Co. is developing 10 lots to be known as Kenwood Sharon Lane. This enclave community will break ground soon and early buyers will be able to customize their homes.

After a prolonged and controversial rezoning case, the site on a cul-de-sac on Sharon Lane is ready for building. Estimated completion date will be late in 2018. The original rezoning petition was for attached homes on the site to be built by Simonini Homes and Saratoga Asset Management. After vehement opposition from nearby residents, Charlotte City Council voted against the project in March of 2017.

Builder Jim Gross Co. has now taken over the project and they plan to build 10 single-family homes on the property. Homes in Kenwood Sharon Lane will be two story with 3,917 to 4,619 square feet. There will be options for up to 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms and first floor master suites will be in all homes. Prices for the homes will range from about $1.5 million to just under $1.8 million.

Jim Gross Co. has recently completed two other Kenwood projects. The first in on Selwyn Avenue in Myers Park and the second off Providence Road in Eastover. They are currently building the Opus Myers Park condominiums near Queens University. These luxury communities have sold out quickly attesting to the need for more of their kind.

Homes in Kenwood Sharon Lane will have all of the luxury features we have come to expect from Jim Gross Co. Don Duffy architecture and Thomasson construction are working in partnership on the project. There will be custom finishes, multiple fireplaces, “smart” wiring, optional elevator, attached rear-load two-car garages, gourmet kitchens, hardwood floors, and much more.
