Overview

The Bates Glass House, circa 1960, was designed by prominent Charlotte architect Charles Bates as his family home, drawing inspiration from Philip Johnson's iconic New Canaan, Connecticut Glass House built a decade prior. The avant-garde nature of steel and glass pavilion homes from the mid-century era contribute to their rarity both locally and nationally. As much a work of art as it is a residence, The Bates Glass House is one of few Charlotte residences which can claim elite Trophy Property status. Nestled on a serene wooded lot overlooking a pond in what was once rural Charlotte, the residence today is centrally located in our expanding city, yet still retains its original sense of seclusion. The interior teak wall panels and built-ins combined with terrazzo brick flooring create a warm and balanced aesthetic juxtaposed to the glass and steel facade. Seamless integration with the natural surroundings extends a soothing connection to the natural world. The Bates Glass House is truly exceptional in every way. Stay tuned for additional photos to be released throughout the week leading up to Active status on Friday October 17th. This home is expertly staged by Charlotte Vintage with over 50 pieces of period authentic vintage furnishings and decor, all of which are for sale.
