101A S Westover Drive Monroe, NC 28112

A rare opportunity to own an authentic Mid-Century Modern home on nearly three private acres,
just outside of Charlotte. Designed in 1953 by Robert Hudson Longstreet and identified by NC
Modernist as the Dickerson House, the home offers the feel of a secluded country retreat with the
convenience of in-town living.
Mature trees, fruit trees, and an extraordinary variety of plantings create a beautifully established
landscape that changes with the seasons. Multiple paths wind through the property, connecting a
series of outdoor spaces: a large brick patio off the kitchen, another off the sunroom/office, and a
landscaped seating area outside the accessory dwelling unit. Each is a natural place for dining,
entertaining, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet.
Inside, the architecture takes center stage. Glass walls embrace indoor/outdoor living and a
relaxed California vibe, while vaulted ceilings, original architectural details, warm wood, and a
dramatic wood-burning fireplace give the great room the unmistakable character of the mid -
century era. The home's thoughtful proportions and connection to the landscape create an
atmosphere that feels relaxed, artistic, and timeless.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its original charm, with terrazzo
counters, enamel cabinets, and updated appliances. The private primary suite includes its own
bath, laundry, and stairs to an additional heated and cooled space for an office, home
gym, or more. A separate renovated bath offers a steam shower and an oversized soaking tub. A
large media room with a built-in bar is made for movie nights with friends and can easily be
converted back to separate bedrooms.
The fully permitted accessory dwelling unit, designed by Alter Architects, a well-
known local modern architecture firm, includes an attached one-car garage and is perfect for an
in-law suite, guest quarters, or rental income. It features custom cherry cabinetry throughout,
tongue and groove ceiling, a built-in Murphy bed, a movable divider wall with a 360° rotating
TV, a full kitchen with Grohe fixtures, polished concrete floors, and a bath finished in terrazzo
and pink zellige tile. Furnishings are available with an acceptable offer. A separate shed and a
porte-cochère round out the property.
The home has been meticulously cared for, with significant investment in recent years. It has just
been freshly painted inside and out, and improvements include new HVAC systems and
ductwork, added attic insulation, a hardwired EV charger, a renovated hallway with reclaimed
Douglas fir paneling, and extensive work on the grounds. A full list of recent improvements is
available.
This is not simply a home; it is a piece of mid-century architecture. For those who appreciate
original design, mature landscapes, and the rare combination of privacy and proximity, 101 S
Westover Dr #A is a truly special opportunity. Come see for yourself.
Authentic. Private. Architectural. Timeless.
