828 Old Bell Road

Tucked away on 1.44 wooded acres in a prime Charlotte location, this one-of-a-kind tri-level retreat offers a rare blend of architectural character, privacy, and modern updates. Surrounded by mature trees and natural landscape, the setting feels more like a mountain escape than a city address, yet is ideally situated next to McAlpine Creek Greenway, just minutes from SouthPark Mall and The Arboretum Shopping Center, and approximately 20 minutes to Uptown Charlotte.

At the center of the home, the gourmet kitchen is designed for both function and statement, featuring a six-burner range, custom exhaust hood, Thermador double ovens, Sub-Zero 48-inch refrigerator, maple cabinetry, and concrete countertops. Rich wood detailing and updated maple hardwood flooring throughout all three levels add warmth and continuity. The main living area is anchored by a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone gas log fireplace, creating a warm and dramatic focal point.

The true showpiece is the architect-designed, timber-framed screened porch and wraparound balcony, creating a breathtaking treetop experience. With Brazilian hardwood flooring, cable railings, infrared heaters, and built-in Bose speakers, this award-winning space seamlessly extends the home outdoors and offers year-round enjoyment.

The primary suite is filled with natural light and includes a sunroom retreat with bamboo flooring and updated windows, along with a fully renovated primary bath completed within the past year. Additional living space includes a walk-in wine cellar and a flexible fourth bedroom ideal for a home office, bonus room, or guest space. Extensive updates provide peace of mind, including a new roof in 2024, HVAC replacement in 2019, water heater and garage doors in 2022, and updated siding, windows, and doors in 2015. Fresh interior paint, updated gutters with guards, and recent exterior improvements further enhance the home. See the list of features / updates in MLS attachments from agent. The property also features a poured concrete retaining wall, aluminum fencing, and underground drainage routed to a cistern for water management. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that offers privacy, design, and character in one of Charlotte’s most desirable and convenient locations.
