The home
First impressions
Built in 1914 and set just outside the South Union Street Historic District, 479 Union Street South is a farmhouse completely remodeled as a Mission-style bungalow. It keeps the charm of an early-1900s home while adding the modern comforts today's buyers want.
The home sits back beneath a canopy of mature oaks and Japanese maples. At the street, slate steps with custom-designed wrought-iron railings lead to a custom brick-paver walk that runs across a deep lawn, bordered by stacked-stone beds and layered plantings, up to the wraparound porch. Stacked-stone piers topped with 2-inch-thick Tennessee Crab Orchard stone caps carry tapered white cedar columns, and the stacked stone continues around the side porch. At 8 feet deep, with three Hunter ceiling fans overhead, the porch has room for rockers, dining and evening conversation. It's the kind of porch where neighbors stop to say hello.
Entry and foyer
Step through the recently added Mission-style front door, with leaded glass and matching leaded-glass sidelights, into the foyer. A staircase with a newel post crafted by a local woodworker and a reclaimed pine handrail with wrought iron rises to the second floor. Pocket doors open into the dining room and study.
Living and gathering spaces
Heart pine floors run through the main living areas, framed by custom crown molding and 10-foot ceilings. The dining room, finished in neutral tones, is filled with light from a wall of windows overlooking the front gardens, dressed in custom embroidered Roman shades beneath a solid brass chandelier. It comfortably seats a family table for holidays and Sunday suppers.
A separate study, wrapped in windows with embroidered Roman shades and lined with two sets of built-in bookcases, has its own original mantel and tile surround. It makes an ideal home office, library or homework room.
The den is warm and inviting, with a fireplace set in a wood mantel original to the house, custom-made industrial-style track lighting, and space for deep sofas and reading chairs.
The central hallway adds practical storage: an under-stair closet, a Craftsman stained-glass hanging light, and a utility closet housing a Rinnai on-demand gas water heater.
The kitchen
The kitchen was designed for people who love to cook and entertain. Crisp white shaker cabinetry climbs to the ceiling, finished with lighted glass-front uppers and built-in shelves for cookbooks or display. The counters are Atlas granite, quarried in Brazil, with a pattern that resembles a topographic globe, a true statement piece. A subway-tile backsplash, textured in varying tones of white for added depth, surrounds a ZLINE professional 48-inch range with a wall-mounted pot filler and a custom 48-inch baffled range hood.
Three layers of lighting set the mood: up-lighting above the cabinets, interior lighting in the glass-front uppers, and under-counter task lighting. A triple-bowl apron-front farmhouse sink sits beneath a garden-view window.
A slate blue island with seating offers contrast and anchors the room. Stainless appliances include a two-in-one convection microwave oven, a dishwasher and a French-door refrigerator. A lantern pendant adds a final touch, and a newly installed side-porch entry door with rain glass and a storm door brings in natural light.
Primary suite
The primary bedroom is a quiet retreat with soft carpet, custom crown molding and a ceiling fan. A built-in audio-visual wall, with a TV mount and oak cabinet custom built for the space by a cabinetmaker, keeps the room clean and uncluttered.
The all-marble bath feels like a boutique hotel. A heated marble floor features a custom inlaid mosaic rectangle of 2-inch hexagon tile at its center. A white double vanity with marble countertops and custom cabinetry, an oversized tub/shower clad in marble tile with built-in marble niches, a heated towel warmer and a dedicated makeup vanity add everyday luxury.
The walk-in closet is a full custom wood closet by Closets by Design, built around a center island with eight drawers accessible from both sides.
Bedrooms and baths for the whole family
Upstairs, three bedrooms with ceiling fans and built-in storage give kids and guests their own space, and the landing opens to each room. A full bath with a white vanity and marble counter serves the upper level.
On the main level, a full bath and laundry room combination is finished with clear pine tongue-and-groove, a glass-door shower with a seat, built-in shelves and drawers, a mini farmhouse sink and an oversized marble counter.
A back hallway leads to a tiled mudroom with drawers and a marble countertop, where a Craftsman-style door opens to a garden gate and the backyard.
The grounds
The backyard is a private garden courtyard, completely enclosed by a 6-foot double brick garden and privacy wall with wrought-iron connections at the corners. Three large, custom-designed arched wrought-iron gates lead inside. A covered pavilion with a ceiling fan shelters an outdoor dining and lounge area on a concrete patio, and strung lights set the scene for evenings outside.
Gardeners will find cedar raised vegetable beds, a compost bin, arbors, a potting bench along a brick-paver side path, and established perennial beds. An outdoor shower sits by the back entry, perfect after yard work or a summer day. A detached one-car garage and a gravel parking court round out the property.
Family life and location
This is a sidewalk neighborhood, where kids ride bikes under the oaks and families stroll to downtown. Historic downtown Concord is a short trip up Union Street, and it has never looked better:
- The Downtown Social District. Pick up a drink at a participating restaurant or bar and sip and stroll through downtown.
- The greenway and neighborhood parks. Concord's roughly four-mile Downtown Greenway Loop follows Union Street South and links Les Myers Park, the McEachern Greenway and McGee Park, with Memorial Garden a short walk away downtown.
- Dining, shopping and events. Local restaurants, wine and bottle shops, boutiques and year-round downtown events, from the holiday tree lighting to the Christmas parade.
Beyond downtown, Concord puts families within easy reach of Charlotte, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Concord Mills and I-85, while keeping the feel of a close-knit hometown.
