Property Description
The wall enclosing the backyard was built in 1988, helping define the private garden that remains central to the property today.
The home's second major renovation, in the mid-1990s, added new crown moldings throughout, a new living room mantel, renovated kitchen cabinetry, the first renovation of the large bathroom, a new side entrance to the patio, and custom desk/bookcases in the third bedroom. The side entrance and third-bedroom built-ins share a special history: a close friend of the owner's — a well-known architect — sketched both ideas on a napkin over dinner at the house. The new entrance replaced the home's original butler's pantry. Around this time, the owner also brought English boxwood from his family's mountain property and planted it along the side patio, where it remains today.
In 2019, the crawl space was sealed, and the large bathroom was renovated with a new shower and light fixtures — while the home's original "spray shower" was carefully retained and restored.
The third major renovation, beginning in 2021, brought a renovated primary bathroom with heated floors, new backyard columns, a bluestone patio and pergola, new front columns and porch, and Bevolo gas lanterns.
Work resumed in late 2022 after a brief pause and continued for roughly two years in a comprehensive renovation and modernization. The basement was fully renovated into finished living space with a new laundry room, custom cabinetry, and interior access. The kitchen received new cabinet doors and pulls, glide-out shelving, and a custom pantry, and the primary suite's vanity and closet were further improved. Additional work included all-new windows, a complete roof replacement, full interior and exterior painting, new breakfast room blinds, a greenhouse, a whole-house generator, a basement sump system, new exterior awnings, new living room gas logs, and extensive landscaping — including a backyard design the owner hand-drew, completed as the final phase.
Since 1927, 1820 Dilworth Road East has evolved through nearly a century of Charlotte history — from careful restoration in the 1980s to the thoughtful renovations that followed. Each phase aimed to make the home more livable without sacrificing the character and details that make a historic Dilworth home so distinctive.
Dilworth is a neighborhood where tree-lined sidewalks invite you to slow down, connecting you on foot to boutique shops, beloved restaurants, and neighborhood parks. Uptown Charlotte is at your doorstep, the light rail is nearby, and SouthEnd's creative energy is just around the corner. Here, you don't just live in a great location — you live a great life.
This is a one-of-a-kind home in a neighborhood that doesn't often let go of houses like this.
