Hat’s Off to Rosewood Condominiums!
At the corner of Providence Road and Sharon-Amity in Charlotte, NC…there was a lovely two story yellow colonial home…white trim, stately, rose gardens, winding drive, green fields stretched to the back acreage. For years. On one corner resides St. Gabriel’s, a handsome edifice joyously anchoring the southwest corner and across the street a full brick and white column church and then across from the 85 year old home of the Rowe’s was a small strip shopping and a small office building…neither well done but heck, it was Cotswold. And Cotswold is a neighborhood with brick ranches and a charming shopping center that used to be a mall…it is real and personable.So when Rosewood was announced, there were of course the naysayers. Here was going to be an elegant complex, three eight story towers designed in the manner of French Renaissance-style…in Cotswold. If you looked ahead, if you caught a whiff of Charlotte’s bustle, you would have seen these dreamers were sailing into the future and doing it well. Oh, I am sure they at time wondered what they were doing and why…but the corner changed. The small office building is gone and in its place…newer, taller, more sleek commercial and retail, restaurants and service shops. And the shopping center has changed. It’s still personable but the little coffee shop is now more comfortable and there is seating outside. We like to drink coffee outside and dine outside…we like to watch the passers-by. I have visited Rosewood. Shown property at Rosewood. And it is stunning. Rosewood is like leaving the city and going to a fabulous resort...in Europe. The grounds are ample, the parking is elegant, the roses are tended and the benches are perfect for watching passers by.I thank the builders for their vision. Some say they will have a hard time competing with Uptown. As though we always have to be competing. Rosewood is unique. Hands down. It is gorgeous. And Uptown, people, is still just minutes away. We are still a small southern town. Rosewood has South Park, Cotswold, Myers Park, and Cotswold. Here’s to the folks who dreamed of a place that is right out of the same book as The Biltmore Estates…and here’s to the folks who had the foresight to buy into a lovely community.
More detail and pictures…on the way.
