07 Aug Timeless and Contemporary Luxury: Welcome to One of One
Frank Gehry said, “Architecture should speak of its time and place but yearn for timelessness.” The home we’re about to see, 4536 Fox Brook Lane, exemplifies that philosophy. Spanning 14,000 square feet, this French Provincial residence is a master class in luxury, balance, and authenticity. It’s also possibly the largest and most extraordinary property ever to grace the Charlotte market.
“Nothing like this has ever come up for sale in Charlotte. No hyperbole. There’s been nothing
like it,” says Steve Lonnen, Owner of SL Home Group with REAL Broker “There’s so much history and character in every detail it’s almost impossible to tell the whole story. It took four years to build because every material was thoughtfully selected, bespoke fixtures were sourced from all over the world, and expert craftsmanship was applied to every detail. Every piece of stone on the exterior and hardscaping was hand-chipped. That’s the level of attention that went into building this home.”
This Harry Schrader designed residence is situated within the exclusive Morrocroft Estates, nestled in the heart of South Park, the home and its carriage house are surrounded by lush, mature landscaping, creating a verdant fortress. “The location is unparalleled. It’s private, secure, and remarkably serene for its central Charlotte setting,” Lonnen says.
The stately exterior offers a glimpse into the meticulous craftsmanship, luxury, and elegance that define this exceptional home.Inside, discover six bedrooms, six bathrooms, three powder rooms, terraces on all levels, a gourmet kitchen with scullery, a library, a spa room with gym and yoga studio, offices, a game room, a movie theater, and an expansive wine cellar. The secondary living quarters includes an additional bedroom, full bathroom, living room, and full kitchen.
Some of the exceptional details include a chef’s kitchen with a Classique Lacanche stove, oversized marble islands with sweeping views of the pool and lush backyard, high, coffered ceilings and custom millwork, hand-scraped Versailles parquet floors, and wood flooring repurposed from beams from a historic local building.
The library feels baronial, with a large stone fireplace, walls of windows, and French doors. There are seven large fireplaces, four have antique French mantels. It’s easy to imagine entertaining friends or toasting life with someone special at the Blue Roma quartzite tasting table that sits at the entrance of the 700+ bottle wine cellar.
Outdoor spaces are a private retreat featuring meticulously landscaped grounds,
a sparkling saltwater swimming pool, and multiple patios for al fresco dining and entertaining. “This home has hosted some of the biggest, best and most exclusive parties,” Lonnen says. “Once, the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra played here on the green space overlooking the pool for over 250 distinguished guests.” Whether enjoying a quiet afternoon by the pool or entertaining under the stars, this oasis ensures every moment is savored in style.
For those seeking a private residence that seamlessly blends European sophistication with modern luxury and comfort in a prime location, 4536 Fox Brook Lane is the penultimate example of refinement and elegance in one of North Carolina’s most coveted communities.
“This home is all about timeless beauty combined with contemporary luxury living,” Lonnen says. The combination of everything the estate has along with its location offers everything you could want living in Charlotte.”
