Residential: Charlotte's Best Kept Secret

This private estate in Charlotte is one of the area's best kept secrets. The property is steeped in history with a rich background. Though we aren't disclosing the property's location, Solow Design Group does want to share the magnificence beyond it's majestice entrance! 

  • This private estate in Charlotte is one of the area's best kept secrets. The property is steeped in history with a rich background. Though we aren't disclosing the property's location, Solow Design Group does want to share the magnificence beyond it's majestice entrance!
  • Through a complete upgrade of the property's driveway including the area that begins with the brick pad at the street, we installed a cobblestone border that shapes and defines. In addition, Virginia river rock extends throughout the roads within the property.
  • The stone planting bed serves as the first focal point upon entry and delights the senses featuring Mazus, a flowering ground cover, as well as other carefully selected perennials.
  • Enter friends & family; this tranquil meanering stepping stone path leads to the kitchen (side) entry of the residence. Culinary exploration is encouraged with the family's private herb garden located just steps away out the kitchen door...
  • The private kitchen herb garden delights with aromas, textures and savory additions to tempt the palette.
  • As if standing guard: Boxwoods relocated from another spot within the landscape now call the area flanking the sidewalk and kitchen entrance home.

  • This area heralds the entrance to the main house. Complete with angelic-inspired statuary and adorned with a carefully planned container garden filled perennials, flowing vines and annuals such as geraniums, sweet potatoe vine, roses and decorative grasses.

  • Angelina Sedum shines brilliantly from the patio's edge.
  • Looking out into the spacious landscape, the backyard pool is accessible through an irregular Flagstone path.
  • Gentle lamb's ear keeps watch over visitors entering the pool area from the enchanting path.
  • The vintage columns that mark the entrance to the pool promise solace and sanctuary for the senses.
  • Ornamental grasses add seasonal drama and soften the lines of the raised brick beds within the pool surround.

  • A secondary, rear entrance is where friends and family come to call.
  • The secondary entrance is flanked by a classic brick columned wall that expands the perimeter. Using the existing wax myrtles trees we also encompassed new complimentary plants such as Yuccas and Ajuga to add depth and dimension. The addition of outdoor lighting also brings ambiance to the space.
  • Yucca and Ajuga nestle along the curve of the rear entry flanked by stunning copper outdoor lighting
  • A center stone planting bed filled with the homeowner's flagpole and colorful perennials ushers you to the main entry up to the home, or to the private parking area.
  • A freestanding garage located at the back entrance of the property is outfitted with river rock and perennials to help combat erosion and add character to an otherwise forgotten space.
