A charming, single-family home in Charlotte’s sought-after Brightwalk neighborhood has just sold for a record $505,000, the highest-priced sale ever in the community. Located at 2116 Woodward Avenue, the four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home boasts most than 3,000 square feet of living space — including a bonus room above the detached garage. Blake Benfield and Todd Wise, of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Charlotte office, listed and sold the residence.
Brightwalk is a premier, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly community comprised of single-family residences and townhomes. Owners enjoy ample green space and a variety of parks, trails, art and amenities. Located two miles from Charlotte Center City and just a mile from uptown, it’s in close proximity to shopping, dining, arts and entertainment.
The master planned community is also situated in one of Charlotte’s historically significant areas: It is built on the site of the former Double Oaks neighborhood, circa 1950s, which was managed by Fred Alexander, a former North Carolina senator and Charlotte’s first African American city council member. Additionally, it is across from Statesville Avenue, the former home of the Ford Motor Company plant. During World War II, the plant produced several missiles and aircraft as the Charlotte Quartermaster Corps Depot. It also produced items for NASA and military agencies before closing in 1967.

“This record sale price demonstrates the current strength of the Charlotte market, and the high desirability of Brightwalk in particular. Backed by the resources of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, we were confident that we would attract the right buyer at the highest price, and we did.”
