A brand-new 60’ x 14’ patio and custom fire pit create the perfect setting for entertaining or quiet evenings surrounded by nature.
Inside, the light-filled main level features hardwood floors throughout much of the home and stunning floor-to-ceiling windows that frame serene backyard views. Multiple living areas provide effortless flow for entertaining, while the gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and abundant custom cabinetry. The primary suite offers a private retreat with two walk-in closets, en-suite bath and sliders to the backyard, complemented by two additional well-appointed bedrooms on the main level. Upstairs, a massive walk-in attic presents outstanding potential for future expansion, along with a private 12’ x 6’ balcony overlooking the backyard making it an ideal spot to enjoy morning coffee and local wildlife.
The fully finished lower level adds remarkable flexibility, featuring a spacious living space great for many uses, a private bedroom and full bath, and a separate flex space ideal for a home office, media room, or bar. A private exterior entrance with access to the side driveway provides an ideal setup for guests, in-laws, or multigenerational living. The attached two-car garage includes a dedicated workshop or hobby space that is both heated and air conditioned, offering both function and versatility.
Additional highlights include upgraded electrical systems with whole-home GFI protection and a premier location close to Charlotte’s top private schools, places of worship, the McAlpine Creek Greenway, and the prestigious shopping and dining of SouthPark.
An exceptional opportunity to own a private, acreage estate without compromise, combining space, privacy, and convenience in one of South Charlotte’s most desirable locations.
