I was honored to attend an incredible farm dinner celebrating local farmers and private chef Susanne Dillingham, founder of The Tiny Chef, and the release of her debut memoir. 📕 Susanne’s book, Secret Ingredients of Life, is a deeply candid story tracing her path from adoption, through the kitchens of Italy, to a reunion that changed everything. It’s an unforgettable narrative of identity, appetite, and the hunger for home. 📍 Upcoming Book Release Event: Join Susanne this Wednesday, October 14 for a special reading and book signing at the historic E.H. Montgomery General Store in Gold Hill, hosted by author and Gold Hill historian Vivian Pennington Hopkins. ✨ I’ve placed the direct link to Susanne’s website in my bio so you can learn more about her story, explore her private chef work, and get event details!

Stepping back in time on iconic Queens Road West. ✨ Built in 1937, 1858 Queens Road West sits on a rare 0.46-acre garden-like lot in the heart of Myers Park. With 4,958 square feet, full brick construction, original fireplaces, and a partially finished walk-out basement, walking through this home feels like opening a Charlotte history book. Offered at $2,400,000 as-is, this property sits under the canopy just moments from Selwyn Avenue and Freedom Park. A property like this leaves you with an iconic Myers Park dilemma: 💭 Would you keep the 1937 brick charm and restore it, or build brand new on this prime lot? Let me know in the comments. #myersparkclt #queensroad #charlotterealestate #cltrealestate #charlottelifestyle Marc Bastos | Charlotte Lifestyle Listed by: Callie Kelly with Helen Adams Realty taken in Myers Park by @marcbclt

Mount Holly, NC edition ☕️📖 Met up with an old friend for local coffee and snagged a new read under one roof. Always worth stepping outside your usual routine to support local spots nearby!

Gabe’s Good Goods: A Mill District Design Staple 🌟 If you want to elevate your space with authentic design, skip the big box stores. Tucked away in Lintmen’s right on the edge of NoDa and Optimist Park, Gabe’s Good Goods is Charlotte’s best-kept secret for mid-century modern and Danish furniture. This isn’t just a showroom—it’s a massive community hub for creatives and design purists. 🛋️ The Inventory: An incredible curation of high-quality restored furniture, lighting, and vintage clothing. ✨ The Local Connection: They shine a spotlight on local resident artists and even feature an in-house upcycling designer and seamstress. 💅🏻The Perfect Location: Since it sits right on the Cross Charlotte Trail (XCLT) at Lintmen’s, you can hunt for a vintage credenza and immediately walk over to Seoul Food Meat Co. or the Urban District Market food hall to celebrate the find. Charlotte’s design scene is quietly thriving, and this spot proves it. 📍 2315 N Davidson St, Suite 100 Note: They are closed Tuesdays and Wednesday! #GabesGoodGoods #MillDistrictCLT #MidCenturyCharlotte #LintmensCLT #CLTDesignScene Marc Bastos | Charlotte Lifestyle taken in Noda Historic Arts District by @marcbclt

Monday afternoon resets at one of my favorite Charlotte spots. ☕️✨ If you haven’t checked out Fly Kid Fly down in Ballantyne yet, add it to your list this week. The aesthetic is perfectly done, and the coffee is unmatched.

There is something incredibly rare about a place that feels exactly the same now as it did when you were a kid. ✨ 📚 Established in 1977 right in the Park Road Shopping Center, Park Road Books is officially Charlotte’s oldest independent bookstore. Growing up, this was always one of my favorite stops. Today, as an adult, it is still my absolute go-to spot in the city to unplug, slow down, and hunt for books. In a city that is constantly growing and evolving, supporting and preserving these historic local staples means everything to the small business owners. What is a classic Charlotte spot you love? Let me know below! 👇🏻 #parkroadbooks #parkroadshoppingcenter #charlottelifestyle #charlottehistory #cltliving Marc Bastos | Charlotte Real Estate Agent Charlotte, North Carolina taken in Park Road Books by @marcbclt

There is nothing quite like completely unplugging to reset the mind. ☀️🚢 Just got back to Charlotte after an incredible stretch exploring the coasts of Portugal, Spain, and France. From dodging trolley cars in Lisbon to wandering the cliffs of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, every stop was endlessly inspiring. But honestly, the moments at sea were just as good. Between catching a total solar eclipse in the middle of the Atlantic, Salvador Dalí pieces on board the ship, and golden hour cocktails on the deck, it was the perfect escape. Swipe through for a little visual diary of the trip. It’s so good to be home and back to work, but my travel bug is definitely acting up again. What is the most beautiful place you’ve visited recently? 👇🏻 #charlotteluxuryrealestate #cltlifestyle #explorajourneys #queencityliving #exploreclt Marc Bastos | Charlotte Real Estate Agent Charlotte, North Carolina Charlotte luxury realtor standing in front of historic European architecture in Porto, Portugal. taken in Lisbon, Portugal by @marcbclt
