THE NEIGHBORHOODS

Tree-Lined Streets & Mid-Century Charm

Sedgefield and Montclaireare quintessential Charlotte neighborhoods that embody the city's mid-century residential character. Developed primarily in the 1940s through 1960s, these adjacent communities feature a cohesive streetscape of classic brick bungalows, ranch homes, and Cape Cod-style residences beneath towering hardwood canopies that create a cathedral-like canopy over every block.

Streets like Sedgefield Road, Montclaire Drive, Edgewater Drive, and West Boulevard are lined with covered front porches, hydrangea gardens, and manicured lawns that reflect the pride of ownership that defines these communities. The neighborhoods' central location — adjacent to South End and minutes from Uptown — has made them increasingly sought-after by buyers who value walkability, character, and proximity to Charlotte's best dining and retail.

Peters Custom Homes has been building and renovating luxury residences in Charlotte's established inner-ring neighborhoods since 2016, understanding how to honor mid-century character while delivering the modern floorplans, finishes, and technology today's homeowners expect.

HOW A SEDGEFIELD & MONTCLAIRE INQUIRY BECOMES A RESIDENCE

The path from a Sedgefield & Montclaire address to a finished Peters home

Most Sedgefield & Montclaire conversations begin with a single question — what should be built here, and what shouldn't.

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.

CASE STUDIES

Residences behind the Sedgefield & Montclaire 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 Sedgefield & Montclaire project would be planned and executed.

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA · CONTEMPORARY ESTATE

Little Kern

Little Kern is a commanding modern estate that explores the intersection of architecture, craftsmanship, and spatial drama. Set within a quiet wooded enclave in Charlotte, the residence unfolds as a series of expansive light-filled volumes anchored by sculptural stone fireplaces, gallery-like interiors, and an uncompromising attention to material detail. From the moment of arrival, the home announces itself as something extraordinary. Clean geometric forms and expansive glazing establish a modern architectural language, while carefully choreographed interior sightlines reveal the scale and drama within. Each space was designed to balance openness with intimacy—allowing the home to function equally as a grand entertaining environment and a deeply comfortable private residence. Little Kern was conceived not simply as a house, but as an immersive architectural experience—where light, texture, proportion, and craftsmanship combine to elevate everyday living.

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 · 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.
