*Showings start 9/8/26* Some neighborhoods are just a place to live - Merry Oaks is a community. Monthly social gatherings, an annual neighborhood festival, and streets where people actually know each other make this one of Charlotte's most genuinely connected pockets, and 2220 Arnold Drive puts you right in the middle of it. Built in 1951, this 4 bed and 2-bathroom home is set on an exceptional .3-acre lot, the home delivers the kind of character only a house of this era can offer. A spacious living room greets you just inside, flowing naturally into the dining room and on to the expanded kitchen — a generous footprint that's ready for a new owner to make it their own with a unique upgrade. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level, while upstairs offers two additional spacious bedrooms and a second full bath, giving the two-story layout real flexibility for families, guests, or a dedicated home office. Outside, towering mature trees frame the property and create a shaded, private setting that newer construction simply can't replicate, with room to garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the canopy. Quiet, tree-lined streets keep everything feeling tucked away, yet you're just minutes from the energy of Plaza Midwood and its restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and independent retail, plus easy access to Commonwealth, NoDa, Optimist Hall, and Uptown Charlotte. Character and land are hard enough to find in 28205 - finding them alongside a community like Merry Oaks is truly one of a kind.
