Chic Modern Bamboo Bungalow

From the moment you navigate the short curved gravel drive into the heart of this little forest up to the soaring covered deck (the full length of the house), you are captured by the desire to just kick back in the Adirondack chairs or take in the view of the treetops from the hammock in the rear. Cleverly placed in a bamboo and hardwood grove set far off the street behind the streetfront houses, you will find this home a quiet respite from the city life, but still just 5 minutes from downtown.

All about Charlotte

Cosmopolitan Charlotte is North Carolina’s largest city, with towering Uptown skyscrapers, unique museums, and a plethora of lively neighborhoods steeped in history. The municipality rose to prominence in the early 19th century during Carolina’s gold rush, and later prospered thanks to thriving cotton, textile, and banking industries. If you hear someone call it the Queen City, that’s because Charlotte is named after the wife of King George III.

The weather is suitable for adventuring in nature year-round, and the number of indoor and outdoor attractions is staggering; in the morning you can hike the trails in Little Sugar Creek Greenway or spike your adrenaline at the U.S. National Whitewater Center — the world’s largest manmade whitewater river. Later on you can marvel at the NASCAR Hall of Fame or wander the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. Finally, you can finish the day strong by sampling craft beers or catching a show at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. These are only a few of the many reasons this place regularly makes lists of the best U.S. cities to live in.
