Some renovations update a house. This one reimagined it from the studs out.
Located in Sherwood Forest — one of Charlotte's most sought-after in-town neighborhoods, known for its mature canopy, pocket parks, and vibrant community calendar — 5515 Doncaster Drive is a complete, high-finish renovation with every detail chosen with purpose.
The original hardwood floors were refinished, not replaced, delivering warmth and character that new floors simply cannot replicate. The original interior doors were refinished to match, preserving the home's midcentury character while giving it an entirely new story to tell.
The living room makes a statement: a designer light fixture anchors the space above a beautifully textured fireplace wall featuring a recessed 50" electric fireplace — ambiance and warmth without the mess or maintenance of a traditional firebox.
The kitchen commands its own moment, with two-tone semi-custom cabinetry, quartz counters, and an upgraded appliance package finished in white with antique brass accents — including a professional 36-inch six-burner FORNO gas range with pot filler, FORNO microwave drawer, brushed gold waterfall faucet, and a thoughtfully integrated beverage bar with under-counter wine fridge and warm open shelving. Every finish and fixture was chosen with both beauty and function in mind, creating a kitchen equally suited to weeknight dinners, holiday entertaining, or slow Saturday mornings.
A sunroom off the main dining area serves equally well as a lounge, home office, study, or flex space. The laundry room carries its own personality — a subtle speakeasy vibe that makes even the utilitarian spaces feel considered. Closets throughout feature motion-sensored lighting — a simple, elevated touch to everyday living.
A split-bedroom floor plan provides exceptional privacy. Two secondary bedrooms are elevated on a raised platform accessed by distinctly broad recessed steps, creating a unique architectural transition. One features a private en suite bath with a spacious tiled shower, while a beautifully appointed guest bath with a soaking tub, floating vanity, and designer tile serves the second.
The primary suite occupies its own newly constructed private wing with large transom window. A generous closet and separate walk-in wardrobe with abundant natural light offer plenty of storage. The spa-inspired shower features a large rain head, handheld wand, multiple body jets, and custom glass — an exceptionally designed experience. A dedicated HVAC system provides independent climate control year-round. The suite also offers its own private access to the outdoor lounge, creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor living.
Outside, a generously sized patio — with separate lounge and al fresco dining areas — is designed precisely for the way Sherwood Forest lives: outside, together, and often.
Three bedrooms. Three full bathrooms. Sunroom. Split-bedroom design. Private primary patio access. A complete renovation with nothing left to do but move in.
