A Mediterranean Florida-style estate at 8371 Providence Road has sold for a Charlotte record of $8.4 million, according to the real estate agency that represented the buyer.

The sale of the home in the gated Greenwood community surpassed the previous record sale by $800,000, said Realtors Lena Horrigan and Nilou Henderson of Charlotte-based Henderson Ventures Inc. in a news release Tuesday. That was for an 18th-century-style chateau at 7330 Baltusrol Lane in Quail Hollow.

The buyers in the $8.4 million sale “have requested to remain private,” Horrigan said in an email. The closing is scheduled for Wednesday morning, she said.
