Huntersville is one of the most intact late 19th- and early 20th-century neighborhoods in the city, distinguished by houses with tall windows, gabled roofs, and deep porches. These traditional homes are oriented toward the street, fostering frequent interactions among neighbors and a strong sense of community. Although the neighborhood has faced challenges, these neighborly traditions continue with current residents. This plan book, authored by Work Program Architects for the city, builds on and supports this strong community identity.
A community’s architectural character plays a key role in its identity, making it essential to ensure that new construction complements and reinforces that character. The Plan Book is designed for existing Olde Huntersville residents, potential homeowners interested in building, and builders committed to contributing to the success of this beautiful, historic neighborhood.
The book features three-, four-, and five-bedroom house plans—customizable, market-rate homes that fit seamlessly into the architectural fabric of Olde Huntersville. Some plans also offer options for accessible bedrooms, making them ideal for aging in place.
