Since its inception in the 1890′s, Dilworth has been one of Charlotte’s most distinct neighborhoods. Developed as the city’s first suburb, Dilworth was connected to downtown by Charlotte’s first electric streetcar. The success of the initial development of Dilworth led its creator, Edward Dilworth Latta, to expand the neighborhood in the 1910′s, under a plan by the Olmstead Brothers, then the nation’s preeminent landscape designers.
Although their plan was never fully implemented, the Olmstead’s curved roads and dramatic landscaping set the tone for much of Charlotte’s future character. In 1987, Dilworth was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Welcome to 919 Mt. Vernon Avenue — a timeless 1938 Dilworth treasure nestled on one of the most picturesque streets in the heart of the historic district. From the moment you arrive, the home’s inviting exterior and signature twin chimneys framing the front door set the tone for its distinctive charm. Inside, the main level offers a perfect blend of comfort and functionality, with multiple spaces designed for living, working, and entertaining. The generous living room, anchored by a cozy gas fireplace, flows seamlessly into a spacious dining room, ideal for gatherings. A bright, fresh white kitchen with ample cabinetry has been the backdrop for countless shared meals. Additional living spaces include a warm study with its own gas fireplace, a comfortable family room with built-ins, a versatile flex space/drop zone, and a serene, screened porch overlooking the backyard.
