2107 Mandarin Boulevard

Welcome to a rare and special property in the highly desirable Oakhurst/Amity Gardens neighborhood. Located just 4 miles from Uptown Charlotte, with easy access to public transport, shopping, restaurants and schools, "The Poets Cabin" is nestled on over an acre of very private, natural property. Hand-built with gorgeous solid woods in the early 1930s, here everyday living feels like a peaceful mountain retreat in the heart of Charlotte - a perfect place emphasizing quality of life without sacrificing convenience.

This home offers timeless charm and character at every turn. Come down the natural walkway surrounded by magnificent plants, flowers and trees. Enter the large, screened front porch perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. Step through the vintage Dutch door adorned with custom ironwork and you’re immediately greeted by soaring ceilings and exposed wooden beams in the family and dining areas creating a light, airy feel. Historic details are thoughtfully preserved throughout, including crank-operated windows, white oak floors and original wall sconces. The large stone fireplace anchors the main living space, complete with decorative iron convection vents and a hearth crane designed for large pots for open fire cooking, an extraordinary nod to the home’s history. A small greenhouse is tucked away off the back of the home for plant enthusiasts.

The generous gardens and stunning woods filled with countless song-birds offer their own unique outdoor living spaces. They invite to plant, take walks, play games, watch nature, listen, rest and meditate. There is a designated fire-pit area and a private well in original well-house that is used mostly for watering. Privacy is further protected by a 15 foot natural area easement on adjacent property. Natural area is noted on survey.
