Lansdowne, located between SouthPark and Cotswold, is a residential and suburban Charlotte neighborhood with winding, tree-lined streets and mid-century ranch homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lansdowne Shopping Center along Fairview Road, where a low-slung strip of local storefronts sets a casual, everyday rhythm. Landmark Restaurant, The Loyalist Market, and The Lansdowne Pub act as familiar community pillars with a distinctly Charlotte feel. Sidewalks and gentle hills frame pocket parks and school campuses, giving the area a calm, lived-in cadence. Architecture leans brick, carports, and deep setbacks, with occasional renovations that keep the streetscape cohesive. Fairview Road and Providence Road shape the geography, linking errands, dining, and green space without changing the neighborhood’s quiet tone.

3 bedroom ranch was converted into a 2 bedroom by previous owners with a large primary suite, featuring a large sitting room/dressing room. Entering as comp only - closing already occured. Price reflects mild cupping on original wood floors, refreshed kitchen with original cabinets, older age of HVAC, and minor structural repairs needed in crawl space. Fresh paint on interior and exterior, front landscaping, and large sunroom with attached screened porch with Trex decking. Newer roof and water heater. A delightful house in a wonderful neighborhood.
