1323 Carolyn Drive Luxury Dog-Friendly Bungalow with Private Fenced Yard - Minutes from Uptown Charlotte Welcome to a beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath bungalow offering a rare blend of charm, privacy, and elevated everyday comfort in the desirable Commonwealth / Douglas Acres area. Located on a quiet, low-traffic street just 8 minutes from Uptown Charlotte and local hospitals and approximately 15 minutes from Charlotte Douglas Airport, this never-before-rented home delivers the convenience of city access with the calm of a private residential retreat. From the moment you arrive, the property feels thoughtfully cared for and distinct from a typical rental. The expansive, fully fenced backyard offers exceptional privacy and space to relax, entertain, garden, or enjoy time outdoors with pets. Mature trees, natural greenery, a charming patio, elegant solar front lighting, and a raised garden bed create an inviting outdoor setting that feels both polished and peaceful. Inside, the home balances original character with modern upgrades. Original 1954 hardwood floors bring warmth and authenticity to the living room, while fresh paint, new carpet, and bright, inviting spaces give the home a clean, move-in-ready feel. The primary suite includes a custom Elfa walk-in closet system, and both full bathrooms feature bidets for an added touch of comfort and convenience. The living room is a standout feature, anchored by a custom Universal Windows Direct bay window installed in January 2025. Designed to fill the space with natural light, the bay window is paired with custom Southern Traditions Windows blinds for a refined look, added privacy, and everyday functionality. The kitchen is equally well appointed, featuring granite countertops, abundant cabinet space, generous pantry storage, a brand-new stainless steel LG glass-top Air Fry convection oven with a striking electric blue interior, a sleek Samsung refrigerator and microwave, and a stainless steel dishwasher installed in 2023. Newly installed Larson Tradewinds storm doors at both entry points bring in additional natural light while adding practical comfort and curb appeal. Additional features include a brand-new hot water heater, recently updated HVAC capacitor, CPI security system, attic storage, and an attached carport with a convenient storage room. A wide sidewalk along the quiet street makes the neighborhood especially enjoyable for morning walks, strollers, and dog owners. This location also offers quick access to Plaza Midwood, Uptown Charlotte, restaurants, hospitals, coffee shops, shopping, major event parking for the Truist Championship and Southern Christmas Show, and Charlotte Douglas Airport. Dog-friendly for up to two dogs weighing no more than 30 pounds each, the home is ideal for tenants seeking comfort, privacy, style, and convenience in one polished Charlotte rental. With its private outdoor space, upgraded finishes, thoughtful maintenance, and close-in location, this bungalow offers a premium rental experience that feels warm, livable, and distinctly special. Pets: dogs only, no aggressive breeds, 30lbs each or under CPI Security System and Exterior Maintenance included in rent
