Historic Plaza Midwood-area mansion sells for $2M under original asking price

CHARLOTTE — A historic mansion on the edge of Plaza Midwood recently sold for $3.75 million — $2 million less than its original asking price.

The property on Maymont Place, known as both the Barnhardt-Cramer House and the Charles E. Barnhardt House, entered the market in January 2024 at $5.75 million. It underwent several price reductions in the subsequent months, selling on April 23, according to Mecklenburg County real estate records.

The home was purchased by the managing partner of a global law firm’s Charlotte office, records show. The seller was Matt Ewers, owner and president of Charlotte-based luxury builder Grandfather Homes.

Ewers had owned the home since 2019, moving in with his family while the property underwent an extensive renovation.
