We built this custom home for a longtime friend of our founder, so we knew the result had to be nothing short of extraordinary. Located in the heart of Eastover, Charlotte, NC, this home is magnificent. 

 

From the very beginning, the collaboration felt natural. The clients brought a clear sense of what they loved, like classical proportions, antique finishes, and custom millwork, and trusted us to bring those ideas to life with care and precision. Our team worked closely with them through every phase, shaping a home that’s both deeply personal and aesthetically pleasing.

 

Every space tells a story, and every decision reflects purpose. This home feels complete the moment you walk through the door.

 

The Craftsmanship Is in the Details

Visitors step into the home and immediately meet one of its most iconic elements: a checkered, black and white marble floor, laid in Venetian marble. This classic pattern makes a bold yet refined first impression that anchors the home in tradition while setting a confident tone for everything that follows.

 

Custom Millwork

Millwork defines the interior architecture of this home. We partnered with ITC Millwork to craft bespoke paneling, trim profiles, and ceiling details that carry from room to room with thoughtful consistency. The study is fully wrapped in custom millwork, creating a space that feels as grounded as it is elegant. In the living and dining rooms, wooden ceiling features add texture, structure, and warmth, framing each space with timeless detail.

 

This kind of detail doesn’t just finish a room; it builds it.

 

Taj Mahal Quartzite

We balanced long-lasting materials with lush beauty and softness. Our team designed the curved island to echo the built-in banquette, creating natural flow and a conversational layout. Taj Mahal quartzite kitchen countertops bring subtle veining and warmth that tie into the wider material palette. Premium appliances from Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Asko finish off the home’s luxe appeal.

 

The homeowner has a sharp eye for antique finishes, and those preferences shaped the look and feel of the kitchen. The space feels collected, not decorated, from custom hardware to curated antique lighting fixtures. 

 

Antique Finishes and Statement Lighting

Across the first floor, we installed wide-plank antique wood flooring from Baba Antique Wooden Flooring. These boards carry natural variation, rich tone, and a soft patina that can’t be replicated. They bring warmth to every space and help the home feel lived-in from day one.

 

In the main living areas, reclaimed wood beams and tailored ceiling details create volume and structure. We added Francois and Co fireplaces, which act as both practical elements and visual anchors, adding just the right amount of weight and proportion to each room.

 

The lighting tells its own story throughout the home. Our client curated every fixture carefully, bringing in character-rich pieces that complement the architectural language of the home. The result is a living space that doesn’t feel staged or styled. Instead, this home feels settled.

 

A Custom Home Gym

We designed a dedicated custom home gym and an adjacent built-in sauna, giving the homeowners a private space to reset and recharge. The design quality and attention to detail of these rooms match the rest of the home.

 

Outdoor Luxuries

This custom home project also went outdoors. We extended the living space for a purpose. At the rear of the home, we built an outdoor home putting green, a daily luxury that reflects the homeowner’s lifestyle and love of the game. Next to it, a fully integrated outdoor grilling station gave our client another space to cook and entertain. 

 

The front yard rose garden introduces softness and formality at the entry. To the side, a peaceful patio garden creates a quiet, shaded retreat that offers a moment of pause just steps from the main living areas.

 

The Detached Garage

Behind the main house, we built a detached garage with an apartment above, with gorgeous finishes and a private entry. This detached garage apartment expands the function of the home, providing space for guests or extended family without compromising privacy or design continuity.

 

An Effort Worth Making

With so many custom and antique-inspired details, this project required thoughtful sourcing and extra lead time. Our team coordinated every piece, from light fixtures to stone slabs, to protect the integrity of the materials and see to it that every detail was perfect.

 

In the end, those extra weeks paid dividends. The home feels cohesive because it was never rushed. It feels luxurious because it was intentionally built to be. This home in Eastover, Charlotte, NC, captures everything we value at Simonini Homes: long-lasting craftsmanship, personal design, and trust that makes exceptional work possible.

 

From the Taj Mahal quartzite kitchen to the putting green in the back, every part of this home serves the people who call it theirs. And to us, that’s the definition of a job well done. You can take a peek at our gallery to see other breathtaking projects.
