The James A. Blakeney House is an historic
landmark and is the setting for the Blakeney community. The Blakeney Farm
operated for nearly a century beginning in the late 1800s and is chock full of
rich history and brimming with character! If only these walls could talk!
This home is bright and open with
high ceilings and lots of windows to ‘let the sunshine in.’ An
unbelievable large gourmet kitchen is the center of the home, featuring an AGA cast
iron cooker, Viking dishwasher, tumbled tile countertops, custom cabinets with
organizers and soaring ceilings. The expansive kitchen overlooks the lush
gardens and the newly installed salt water pool.
There are two master suites - one on
the main level, one upstairs. All plumbing and baths have been updated in
the home. The master suite on the second level features a lovely
centerpiece fireplace and the bath, a gorgeous claw foot tub and double
shower. All closets are custom organized. All electrical has been
rewired in the home as well. Newer appliances, HVAC and roof have been added
to the home, although some of the original slate has been maintained on the
roof.
Eight working fireplaces grace this
fabulous home with stunning antique mantles, making them the centerpieces of
each room. Period lighting has been restored throughout the home.
The slate roof and copper gutters
have been meticulously maintained. The wrap-around front porch with
4 ceiling fans is over 1,000 square feet of amazing space overlooking the
breathtaking gardens that span nearly 2 acres. The current owners have
added nearly 1,000 SF of space atop an oversized, detached 3-car garage
with the ‘living’ side of the guest house boasting a lovely covered porch
overlooking a fabulous salt water pool.
This is truly one of the most
amazing homes in all of Charlotte! Enjoy tremendous tax breaks in this
home as well! This lovely historic home offers the feeling of a rural
existence, yet is situated in the heart of vibrant Blakeney (Ballantyne
West). It’s new owners will enjoy award-winning school assignments and
the convenience of nearby shopping, dining and entertainment in Blakeney,
Ballantyne and Stonecrest as well as being just a quick drive to the Ballantyne
YMCA.
