The house is located in the Plaza Midwood neighborhood, at the center of the Cramer Pond Development and consists of six bedrooms, four full baths and two half baths. The selling price amounts to $5.7 million.
Designed by Charlotte-based architect Martin Boyer, Jr. in 1939, the house was originally built for the Barnhardt family. However, after Charles Barnhardt drowned in the pond on the property during one of the final inspections, his wife refused to move in.
As a result, the house had multiple owners over the years. It belonged to the Cramer family for 60 years until Grandfather Homes bought it a couple of years ago, but neither of these companies changed the original architecture.

Instead, they protected the historical building, preserving the original doors, doorknobs, pictures and even an old servant’s quarter. To give it a modern touch, they added an open kitchen and living space, a pool, and a wood-burning fireplace.
It truly combines the best of both worlds and there is more. The Carmer Pond Development owns 36 homes, 16 of which were built by Grandfather Homes with the Charles E. Barnhardt House currently used as the personal home by the owner of the company.
