712 Louise Ave

The Rutzler is a low-rise, early 20th-century masonry apartment building in Charlotte’s Elizabeth/Plaza Midwood corridor, originally completed in 1920 and extensively renovated in the 2000s. Its High Renaissance–inspired façade and solid concrete-and-steel construction reflect historic craftsmanship while interior modernizations bring contemporary systems. Most residences are one-bedroom configurations with generous ceiling heights, hardwood floors, plaster walls, original wood doors and decorative hardware retained or restored. Kitchens have been updated with granite counters, gas cooktops and stainless appliances; many units include built-in shelving, breakfast bars, pantries, and open-plan living areas. Bathrooms often preserve vintage tile details alongside modern fixtures. Common areas are modest and practical: a secure basement level with individual storage lockers, shared laundry within unit closets or communal areas, and a maintained rear yard with a firepit and grill. Exterior upkeep includes lawn maintenance and in-ground irrigation; some units enjoy Juliette balconies or end-unit exposure for extra light. Parking is street-oriented with easy access to I-77 and nearby Uptown corridors. The building accepts long-term rentals and permits pets per building policy; it sits within immediate walking distance of local cafes, restaurants, parks, greenway access and neighborhood retail, offering a historically rich, walkable urban lifestyle close to transit and employment centers.
