205 Grandin Road presents a rare Wesley Heights opportunity offering historic character, modern updates, and exceptional flexibility just minutes from Uptown Charlotte. Originally built in 1940, this full-brick property has been thoughtfully reimagined into two distinct living spaces, each with its own private entrance, kitchen, laundry, bedrooms, bathrooms, and gathering areas. The main living quarters offer a warm and inviting layout with hardwood floors, generous natural light, a fireplace, spacious living and dining areas, and a functional kitchen featuring quartzite countertops, stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, and a center island. Multiple bedrooms and baths across the upper levels provide flexibility for owner-occupants, guests, work-from-home needs, or continued short-term rental use. The lower level is fully self-contained and designed with the same level of functionality, featuring LVP flooring, shaker cabinetry, quartzite countertops, Samsung appliances, private laundry, comfortable living space, and well-appointed bedrooms and baths. This separate living arrangement creates meaningful options for multi-generational living, guest accommodations, long-term tenancy, or supplemental income. With approximately 3,255 total square feet across both living areas, 8 bedrooms, and 5 full bathrooms, the property offers scale and versatility that is difficult to find in this location. The property has been professionally evaluated in the past as a residential income-producing asset, further highlighting its unique flexibility and investment potential. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own independent due diligence regarding value, intended use, and future opportunities. Set in one of Charlotte’s most connected historic neighborhoods, 205 Grandin Road is close to Stewart Creek and Irwin Creek Greenways, Rhino Market, Noble Smoke, Bossy Beulah’s, Town Brewing, Bank of America Stadium, Uptown Charlotte, and the continued growth throughout the West End corridor. Whether used as a primary residence with separate guest quarters, a multi-generational home, an income-producing property, or a long-term investment, 205 Grandin Road offers a compelling combination of location, flexibility, updated interiors, and future upside in the heart of Wesley Heights.
Wesley Heights, located between Uptown Charlotte and the Catawba River corridor, is a historic and walkable Charlotte neighborhood with early-20th-century bungalows and a rail-to-trail edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along West Trade Street near the Stewart Creek Greenway entrance, where coffee counters, taprooms, and small studios keep sidewalks active. Landmark homes and brick mill-era details sit beside newer townhomes, giving the streetscape a layered, lived-in look. The Stewart Creek Greenway threads through trees and creek crossings, linking daily routines to outdoor space. Pinky’s Westside Grill, Town Brewing Company, and The Hop Shop anchor the local scene with food, beer, and bottle-shop culture. Views toward Uptown’s skyline and the nearby greenway network shape the area’s pace.

The adopted Center City Charlotte Urban Design Plan calls for a development district outside the central employment core in which coordinated mixed use development will be permitted in order to encourage alternative development possibilities. The Mixed Use Development District (MUDD) encourages mixed use development and its accompanying support commercial and office uses while maintaining a strong emphasis on pedestrian scale, urban development, and amenities. Conditional zoning districts will not translate. Conditional zoning approved under current/pre-UDO zoning regulations will also use current/pre-UDO land development regulations during permitting process.
