Location Characteristics: Location Characteristics: One of Charlotte's largest surburban neighborhoods consisting of approximately 1,500 homesites with the original lots being 1+ acre homesites. Construction began around 1970 and it is unique in that original buyers purchased a lot and chose a builder of their choice. Providence Plantation offers a wide diversity of homes and homesites (.2 to 3.5 Acres). Home prices vary between $200,000 - $2,000,000. Many of the older homes are being renovated and, because of the high value of the property, homeowners do not have to worry about overpricing their neighborhood. Downtown Charlotte is approximately a 30-minute drive. Everything is conveniently located for shopping, schools, the Sisky YMCA, churches, roads, etc.
Providence Plantation is a beautiful, one of a kind neighborhood. The original Providence Road entrance winds for approximately 1/4 mile through a serene forest canopy. The character of the neighbor was established from the beginning with the philosophy that "We would rather have a 'little jewel' than a 'big monstrosity'." Thus, there is a wide variation of home styles, square footages, quality of construction, and lot sizes.
About Joye Baucom, CRS, GRI, ABR, e-PRO:
Actually being a native, I offer a wide perspective of the area and its appeal. I have been listing and selling real estate since 1980 and am associated with one of the most prominent and successful residential real estate firms in the Charlotte region. I share Dan and John's passion for service, integrity, and going the extra mile for clients and customers. They have provided a family atmosphere where relationships and old-fashioned values are tremendously important. I share their commitment to superior service and value the relationship and support as it translates into working with every seller or buyer.
I embraced the internet technology for serving our real estate needs and became an e-PRO, a technology certification held by about l% of all Realtors worldwide. With on-line home tours, you can virtually see more homes and I can link you to MLS and a system to alert you by e-mail when new homes suiting your needs come on the market or reduce their price.
My husband Don and I have lived in Charlotte since 1960. Charlotte afforded us every opportunity to establish our careers, raise our family, and enjoy life to the fullest. Many people seek retirement destinations but I feel Charlotte has it all.
