Luxury single-family homes on large lots with mature landscaping
From refined Greek Revivals to ornate French Provincial mansions, Montibello’s single-family homes are eye-catching and diverse in architecture. Some homes date back to the 1960s, but new construction is common. “A lot of what you’re seeing is teardown rebuilds and complete gutting,” says Sarah Rutkowski, a Realtor with Re/Max Executive. Here, smaller ranch-style homes, Cape Cods and contemporary designs sit alongside larger Colonial Revivals, Tudor Revivals and New Traditional homes. Spacious and meticulously manicured front lawns enhance the curb appeal, along with curving driveways that connect to the neighborhood’s wide, tree-lined streets, where residents can walk the dog or go for a bike ride. "It’s a beautiful place to drive through," says Lindsay Patton, a longtime South Charlotte resident and a Realtor with The Redbud Group. Some properties have golf course views, and lots often exceed half an acre. There are also townhouse and condo communities.
