Unfurnished or furnished?
Furnished rentals carry a significant monthly premium and are built around stays of a few months. Over a year or more that premium adds up to far more than furnishing a house costs, and it makes little sense if you already own furniture that would otherwise be paying for storage. Unfurnished is the cheaper answer for anyone staying a year.
The practical side of moving in
The garage takes two cars and there is free street parking directly out front, so a moving truck is straightforward. The middle floor is open plan, which makes getting large furniture in easier than the three-storey layout suggests, though the top-floor bedrooms are up two flights and worth measuring for anything oversized.
"Unfurnished" means different things to different landlords, so here it is precisely: you bring furniture, we provide the appliances. Refrigerator, range, dishwasher, microwave, a full-size washer and dryer, window blinds on every window and the grill on the balcony all stay with the house.

Frequently asked questions
- What does unfurnished mean here?
- You bring furniture and household goods. The refrigerator, range, dishwasher and microwave stay in the kitchen, a full-size washer and dryer stay in the laundry room, window blinds are fitted on every window, the balcony keeps its outdoor furniture and grill, and the custom bar stools stay with the bar.
- Why rent unfurnished rather than furnished?
- Furnished rentals cost meaningfully more per month and are aimed at stays of a few months. Over a year or more you are better off with your own furniture and a lower rent, particularly if you already own furniture that would otherwise sit in storage.
- Are the appliances new?
- The house was built in 2017 and the appliances are the originals to it, maintained since. If anything fails during the lease, repairing or replacing it is on us, not you.
- Who pays the utilities?
- Electricity, water, gas, internet and any TV service are set up in your name and billed to you. The rent covers the HOA fee, which takes care of trash collection, lawn maintenance and the common areas, so those are not separate bills. The CPI security system is included too.
- What is the lease term?
- Twelve months. Renewals are welcome, and we would rather keep a good tenant than find a new one, so if the first year goes well we will talk about extending well before it ends.
- How big is the home?
- Over 2,600 square feet across three floors. Comparable three-bedroom townhomes in this part of Charlotte typically run 1,600 to 1,700 square feet, so there is roughly 950 square feet more room than you would usually get for three bedrooms.
- Does every bedroom really have its own bathroom?
- Yes. Three bedrooms, three private ensuite bathrooms and three walk-in closets, plus a half bath on the living floor for guests. The ground floor bedroom sits a full floor below the other two, which is useful for a home office or anyone working nights.
- Is there parking?
- A two-car attached garage with epoxy floors, plus free street parking directly out front. No permit to arrange.
- Are pets allowed?
- Dogs are welcome. There is a one-time fee of $200 per pet rather than monthly pet rent. A couple of breed and size restrictions apply, so mention your dog when you enquire. Any pet-related damage is the tenant's responsibility.
- What are the move-in costs?
- The first month's rent and a $1,500 security deposit — under half a month's rent, where North Carolina would allow up to one and a half months on a year-long lease. The deposit is returned after move-out less any damage beyond normal wear. If you are bringing a dog, add the one-time $200 pet fee.
- Where exactly is the home?
- The North End, just north of Uptown Charlotte in 28206. About five minutes by car to Uptown, roughly two minutes to I-77 and I-85, and a few minutes on foot to Camp North End. Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center and Novant Health Presbyterian are both around four miles away.
- What is the rent?
- $2,950 a month, which includes the HOA fee covering trash, lawn maintenance and the common areas, and the CPI security system. Available from October 1.
