An open breezeway connects the house to a semi-detached two-car garage. Above it, a catwalk links the upper level to a bonus room over the garage. Inside, 4 1/4-inch white oak floors run throughout. In the living room, 15-foot panoramic doors open to a vaulted porch with a fireplace. Continue below to tour the rest of this European home…

A Triple Gable Exterior

Interesting Fact: Anthony Moore and Matt Connolly founded Pike Properties in 2008. They started out flipping houses before moving into new construction. Today the company focuses on infill homes within about 15 minutes of uptown Charlotte.

What We Love About This Home

We love how the three gables give this house so much curb appeal. The panoramic doors blur the line between the living room and the porch. The catwalk over the breezeway is a clever way to reach the bonus room. And the framed tile behind the range is a beautiful detail.

For the cabinets with description: “The cabinets are painted in Hale Navy, Benjamin Moore. Floors are White Oak in Rubio Monocoat – Mud Light⁠.”, what style/brand is the copper face of the cabinet? Love this!

Hi Stephanie, great eye! Those cabinet doors have decorative brass mesh panels set into navy-painted frames. Unfortunately, the builder didn’t share the brand, but you can find similar decorative metal grille inserts from cabinet hardware and grille suppliers. Pike Properties may also be able to tell you the exact source. Thanks for reading!

What size Fletcher aged zinc kitchen pendants: 13.5″, 18″, or the 22″ ?

Hi Becky, thanks for your question! Unfortunately, the builder only listed the Fletcher pendants in aged zinc by Hinkley Lighting and didn’t share the size. Pike Properties would be the best ones to ask for the exact size used over this island. Thanks for reading!
