SouthPark Luxury Homes

CHARLOTTE'S PREMIER LIVE-WORK-PLAY DESTINATION

SouthPark Custom Home Builder

Headquartered in the heart of SouthPark, Peters Custom Homes has spent nearly a decade building and renovating luxury residences in Charlotte's most dynamic upscale neighborhood — where walkable retail, world-class dining, and tree-lined residential streets converge.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Where Urban Luxury Meets Residential Charm

SouthPark is Charlotte's undisputed center of upscale living. Anchored by SouthPark Mall — the Southeast's largest enclosed shopping center featuring Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and over 150 luxury retailers — the neighborhood has evolved into a true live-work-play destination that rivals the best urban-suburban enclaves in the country.

Beyond the retail core, SouthPark's residential streets offer a surprising sense of tranquility. Mature tree canopies, established gardens, and generous lot sizes create a neighborhood feel that belies its proximity to Charlotte's finest dining at Phillips Place, The Capital Grille, and the boutiques along Morrison Boulevard.

Peters Custom Homes is proudly headquartered at 4401 Barclay Downs Drive, giving us unmatched knowledge of every street, lot, and opportunity in the SouthPark market. From whole-home renovations of 1970s–1990s homes to ground-up custom construction on teardown lots, we know this neighborhood inside and out.

HOW A SOUTHPARK INQUIRY BECOMES A RESIDENCE

The path from a SouthPark address to a finished Peters home

Most SouthPark 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 SouthPark 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 SouthPark should cost to build well, while the Charlotte Custom Home Building Guide and our neighborhood comparison place SouthPark in context against Charlotte's other elite enclaves — so the decision is made with clarity, not pressure.

CASE STUDIES

Residences behind the SouthPark 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 SouthPark 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 · GOLF COURSE ESTATE

S Baltusrol

Baltusrol is a distinguished golf-course estate set within Charlotte's renowned Quail Hollow community, where mature landscapes, winding fairways, and tranquil water features define one of the city's most established residential settings. Positioned on a beautifully proportioned 1.09-acre homesite, the residence enjoys sweeping views across the course and surrounding greenspace while maintaining a strong sense of privacy and quiet refinement. Originally constructed in 2005, the home underwent a comprehensive to-the-studs renovation completed by Peters Custom Homes in 2021, transforming the property into a fully modernized luxury residence while preserving the scale and architectural presence that define estate living. Every major system, finish, and living space was reconsidered during the renovation, resulting in a residence that feels both timeless and completely renewed. Spanning 7,995 square feet, Baltusrol is thoughtfully composed to support both everyday family life and elegant entertaining. The home offers five bedrooms and nine bathrooms, with a sequence of gracious living spaces that unfold from the moment of arrival. From the dramatic marble foyer and sweeping architectural staircase to the expansive kitchen and outdoor entertaining terraces, the residence balances grandeur with warmth, creating an environment that feels equally suited to quiet mornings or large gatherings of family and friends. Large windows and carefully positioned living spaces frame views of the golf course and water beyond, allowing the landscape to become an integral part of the home's daily experience. The result is a residence that feels deeply connected to its surroundings while maintaining the comfort, privacy, and polish expected of a premier Charlotte estate.
