I\u2019m going to go meet with an architect for my house,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s my grandparents\u2019 house. So, I bought their house from my dad and his siblings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The property, a three-bedroom brick ranch in Belmont near Charlotte, sits on a generous lot and comes with a classic layout, including a large rec room with a wet bar and ample living space.
