THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Why Families Choose Myers Park
Myers Park is Charlotte's most prestigious residential neighborhood — a community of tree-canopied boulevards, historic estates, and enduring architectural character that has defined luxury living in the Southeast for over a century. Established in the early 1900s by renowned landscape architect John Nolen, the neighborhood's winding streets, generous setbacks, and abundant green spaces create an atmosphere of established elegance found nowhere else in Charlotte.
The neighborhood spans approximately 3.5 square miles of South Charlotte's most coveted real estate, bounded by Providence Road, Queens Road, and Selwyn Avenue. Its proximity to Uptown Charlotte (just 3 miles), Freedom Park, and the city's finest dining, shopping, and cultural institutions makes it the preferred address for Charlotte's most discerning families.
Today, Myers Park home values range from $1.5 million to over $15 million, with the most significant estates along Queens Road, Hermitage Road, and Cherokee Road commanding the highest premiums. The neighborhood consistently ranks among the top residential addresses in the American South.

HOW A MYERS PARK INQUIRY BECOMES A RESIDENCE
The path from a Myers Park address to a finished Peters home
Most Myers Park conversations begin with a single question — what should be built here, and what shouldn't. Whether the answer is a generational seat designed under The Peters Legacy or a private custom home shaped to your family, the work begins long before drawings — with a careful read of the lot, the neighborhood fabric, and the life you intend to live inside it.
From there, every Myers Park project we accept moves through The Peters Method — our five-step arc from vision to completion — guided by the design language outlined in our Architectural Vision. For owners who prefer to think slowly, our Private Client Advisory quietly shepherds homesite evaluation, architect selection, and pre-construction stewardship months before a shovel meets the ground.
When the conversation turns to investment, the cost calculator gives a directional read on what a residence in Myers Park should cost to build well, while the Charlotte Custom Home Building Guide and our neighborhood comparison place Myers Park in context against Charlotte's other elite enclaves — so the decision is made with clarity, not pressure.

CASE STUDIES
Residences behind the Myers Park conversation
Each study below documents an actual Peters residence — its architecture, its materials, and the decisions that shaped it. Read them to understand how a Myers Park project would be planned and executed.
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA · TRANSITIONAL ESTATE
Highland Forest
Highland Forest stands as a remarkable private estate set within approximately three wooded acres in Charlotte—an extraordinary residence envisioned as both an elevated family retreat and a defining expression of architectural scale, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design. Constructed by Peters Custom Homes with interior design leadership from Emerald & Oak Design Studio, the estate was conceived as a contemporary residence of rare experiential richness: refined, dramatic, and deeply personal. From the earliest design conversations, the vision for Highland Forest extended far beyond that of a traditional luxury home. The intention was to create a residence capable of delivering both intimate everyday living and grand, memorable experiences. Each space was carefully composed to feel purposeful, immersive, and visually compelling—from expansive entertaining environments and curated architectural moments to spa-inspired wellness amenities, recreational spaces designed for gathering, and outdoor living areas that unfold seamlessly across the wooded landscape. The result is a home where architecture, craftsmanship, and lifestyle converge. Throughout the residence, carefully selected materials, refined proportions, and layered design elements create a sense of cohesion and quiet sophistication. Highland Forest ultimately represents a home designed not simply to impress, but to enrich the lives of those who inhabit it—an estate where every environment tells part of a larger architectural story.

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA · MODERN ESTATE
Winged Bourne
Winged Bourne is a bold modern estate that marries dramatic architectural gestures — cascading crystal chandeliers, a sculptural spiral staircase, and soaring double-height volumes — with a refined material palette of dark hardwoods, polished stone, and blackened metal. The residence is designed for entertainment at scale, with a resort-level rear elevation featuring pool, sport court, and arched loggias illuminated at twilight.
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA · MODERN TRANSITIONAL
N Baltusrol
N Baltusrol is a comprehensive ground-up renovation that transformed an existing residence into a refined modern transitional estate defined by light, proportion, and material clarity. The project reimagines the home as an open, contemporary environment where architecture, interior design, and outdoor living are seamlessly integrated. Originally built with a more traditional interior layout, the residence underwent a full structural and architectural reconfiguration. Walls were removed, ceiling volumes reshaped, and circulation patterns redesigned to create a cohesive open plan centered around a dramatic social core. The result is a home that feels expansive, luminous, and highly livable while still maintaining a sense of warmth and intimacy. Throughout the renovation, the design team emphasized a restrained palette of soft whites, warm natural wood tones, sculptural lighting, and layered stone surfaces. These materials create visual contrast while reinforcing a calm and cohesive architectural language. The home now balances crisp contemporary detailing with welcoming textures, producing spaces that feel both polished and comfortable for everyday living.

MYERS PARK INQUIRY
Considering a residence in Myers Park?
Share a few details — homesite, architectural direction, timing — and Nicholas Peters will respond personally within one business day.
Myers Park is described in the source guide as designed in the early 1900s with landscape work by John Nolen and Earle Sumner Draper. It is defined by Queens Road West's willow oaks, Georgian and Tudor estates, and the nearby Freedom Park, and the guide lists Freedom Park area and Queens Road West as communities within it. As a neighborhood-district, it has a strong designed landscape character, and the guide positions it as one of the city's most sought-after addresses. It names Pharr Acres as a separate nearby subdivision rather than part of Myers Park.
A neighborhood shaped by a designed landscape and mature canopy makes site planning central to any renovation or new build. Tree protection, root zones and grade changes near old oaks can limit where additions, driveways and pools go, and an arborist's input should happen before drawings are fixed. Georgian and Tudor homes carry exacting proportions and masonry details, so additions that respect existing forms need careful design, and matching brick, slate or stone can influence lead times. Older estates may have deferred systems: roofing, plumbing, electrical capacity and moisture management in basements or crawlspaces. The source does not establish any particular regulatory overlay, so confirm with the city whether one applies to the parcel. Each of these is a diligence investigation for the specific address, not a guarantee about the neighborhood.
Which trees on or beside the lot are protected or significant, and how would their root zones affect the addition footprint, driveway or pool location?
If the house is a Georgian or Tudor design, what are the available options for matching masonry, roofing and windows, and what lead times might apply?
What do inspections show about roof, electrical capacity, plumbing materials and moisture in lower levels of the existing house?
The Myers Park Planning Context
Myers Park’s planned landscape setting, Queens Road West canopy, substantial homes and proximity to Freedom Park give renovation decisions a strong site-and-street dimension. The source describes Georgian and Tudor houses, but individual properties vary in age, alteration and condition; document the actual building before deciding what to retain. A major addition may improve circulation and modernize kitchens or service areas while preserving principal street-facing massing, yet can affect mature trees, natural light, neighbor privacy and the balance of the lot. Basement, attic or garage conversions merit early structural, moisture and utility assessment. For a new build, compare the parcel’s topography, driveway access, canopy and neighboring scale alongside the desired floor area; an oversized footprint can conflict with landscape character even where the planning framework permits substantial construction. Greenway or park proximity can bring foot traffic and drainage considerations that warrant a site visit. Do not infer that the larger district has one universal historic designation or review rule. Verify boundaries, parcel records and approvals with the relevant authorities. Nearby Pharr Acres is a distinct community, not interchangeable with Myers Park; where relevant, confirm its boundaries and any covenants independently. Engage survey, arboricultural and building professionals before fixing a footprint or demolition strategy.
Making the Homesite Work Before Designing Rooms
For new construction in an established residential setting, first determine the buildable envelope and how the building can be accessed. A current boundary and topographic survey can reveal easements, slope and conflicts that are not evident from an aerial image. Evaluate tree protection, utility connections and drainage with the responsible professionals. A neighboring house is evidence of a different approved project, not automatic permission for the same footprint on this lot.
Compare at least two massing approaches: a wider ground-level arrangement and a more compact plan with additional upper-floor space. The alternatives affect yard continuity, roof geometry, stair use, accessibility and construction access. Place garages and outdoor rooms so they support daily circulation rather than consuming every remaining edge of the site. Confirm recorded covenants and association requirements separately from public zoning before investing in detailed elevations.

Renovation, Addition or New Construction
The decision to retain a home starts with its structure and site relationship. Investigate foundation condition, roof framing, existing alterations, moisture history and the capacity of electrical and mechanical systems. Removing a wall or extending a room can require more coordination than a finish-only project. Obtain a measured plan and define which elements must remain before asking for a construction estimate.
Compare a carefully planned renovation with an addition that addresses the same functional goals. Reorganizing circulation can sometimes improve a kitchen or primary suite without enlarging the entire building; an addition may provide a better result when the existing geometry cannot accommodate the program. Replacement construction is a separate option only where feasible and approved. Make that choice using comparable scopes, verified constraints and long-term usability rather than an assumption about neighborhood value.
Approvals, Evidence and the Construction Sequence
For Myers Park, use the address and parcel identifier to establish which office handles zoning, building review and any environmental or shoreline work. The linked Mecklenburg resources are starting points, not a determination that every property named in the area falls within that office's authority. Municipal exceptions and boundary differences matter. Ask for a written list of the approvals relevant to the proposed scope, then distinguish those requirements from any architectural-review or association process.
A practical sequence is to assemble the survey, ownership and restriction documents, existing drawings and condition investigations; compare concept alternatives; define the retained and new work; coordinate engineering and systems; and prepare the appropriate submittals. Permits and private approvals should be resolved before relying on a start date. Long-lead selections, temporary access and inspection stages belong in the construction plan rather than being left to informal assumptions.
For renovation, record which spaces can remain occupied, how dust and weather protection will work, and how unexpected concealed conditions will be handled. For new construction, establish utility and site-work responsibilities and identify decisions that must be made before foundations or underground systems proceed. Ask estimates to distinguish building work, design services, site conditions and optional outdoor improvements so alternative proposals can be compared honestly.
What is the parcel’s exact zoning, district status and applicable review pathway for demolition or exterior change?
Which trees, slopes, drainage paths and access points constrain a proposed footprint?
What do inspections reveal about original structure, previous additions and moisture or utility systems?
Are covenants, easements or recorded restrictions applicable to this specific property?
Preparing a Useful Myers Park Project Brief
Bring the property address, survey if available, photographs of existing conditions and a prioritized room or improvement list. Separate essential needs from optional additions. For an existing residence, note known leaks, previous structural changes and any drawings or permits already held. For land, identify known access and utility arrangements without assuming that a listing description proves buildability. A clear brief helps the team identify the right investigation before detailed design.
Peters Custom Homes evaluates custom residences and substantial renovations individually. Inclusion of Myers Park in this guide does not imply a completed local project, a local office, a property for sale or a commitment to accept every scope. Concept images are architectural illustrations rather than site proposals. The useful next step is an address-specific conversation about goals, constraints and whether the project fits the firm's work. Obtain current agency guidance and professional advice before making a purchase or construction decision.
