Since its inception in the 1890′s, Dilworth has been one of Charlotte’s most distinct neighborhoods. Developed as the city’s first suburb, Dilworth was connected to downtown by Charlotte’s first electric streetcar. The success of the initial development of Dilworth led its creator, Edward Dilworth Latta, to expand the neighborhood in the 1910′s, under a plan by the Olmstead Brothers, then the nation’s preeminent landscape designers.
Although their plan was never fully implemented, the Olmstead’s curved roads and dramatic landscaping set the tone for much of Charlotte’s future character. In 1987, Dilworth was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
This charming cottage on a quiet, cul-de-sac street is a private oasis right in the heart of Dilworth. The 1.5 story/basement home is a cozy retreat nestled amongst the trees. The kitchen includes a beautiful brick floor and is highlighted by oversized windows that give the feeling of being in a treehouse.
