1916 Lela AvenueCharlotte, NC 28208Price: $624,900

Wesley Heights has the kind of character city center neighborhoods are known for - historic homes, a canopy of shade from mature trees, and views of the skyline. 1916 Lela is the rare newer house right in the middle of it: built in 2006, 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths with an attached two-car garage, and just one mile from Uptown. The home was just freshly painted and now has updated lighting fixtures throughout. Every bedroom has its own bath. Off the entry, a bedroom and full bath offer a private guest suite, or an office you can take calls in without the rest of the house hearing. The bright middle floor is where you spend your days - kitchen, dining, and living all open to one another, with a balcony facing the street, perfect for an evening sit. Up top the two bedrooms offer private space. The primary has a walk-in and a roomy en suite. The second has a bath of its own, too. The laundry is conveniently on the same floor. Outside your door, you can walk to coffee at Rhino Market, grab a beer at Town Brewing, and the greenway runs towards uptown making game days and concerts, or dinner out, a short walk away.
