Sunday Night Steals and Deals- Myers Park- Charlotte

Back from a trip out east (more on that tomorrow) it is Sunday night and I've been thinking about Myers Park. I grew up in Washington DC and the area there most like Myers Park? Chevy Chase or upper Northwest. Well Myers Park is just 5-10 minutes to Uptown and has housed Charlotte's elites since the earliest days. Wide boulevards and 100 year old oak trees are common, as is original construction dating to the 1930' and 40's, with some a bit older still. These pictures should offer some flavor... so my Sunday Night question is how far would $1M go in Myers Park, a close in suburb of Charlotte, NC?
If you are going large, (over 3500 sf) you'll be getting houses on large roads, Runnymede, Providence and Sharon, with only one exception, a contemporary that don't sell well here. So I went after smaller restored home and found a beauty on the less crowded end of a popular street, Selwyn Avenue. Since this one has a website, I can show you this (non-mls) graphic

3300 heated square feet, plus 1900 sf unheated, with 4 br and 3 baths. This tastefully restored home has a great in town location, curb appeal for $709,000... any one like to try 675K and see where it takes us?
