About the home

New price, now with more land: the adjoining 1.19-acre lot is included, bringing the property to 6.92 acres across two recorded lots. Room for a guest house, a barn or simply more privacy (buyer to verify permitted uses). The beautifully upgraded home blends modern comfort with country charm. This is a great opportunity to have all the convenience of the city, while enjoying privacy and space that is a rare find this close to Charlotte. Enter down a long driveway to take you to a serene escape from the city. The fenced in backyard has been cleared, leveled, and seeded with premium fescue grass that stays lush and green year-round. Professional landscaping frames the space, while a custom chicken coop (which conveys with the property) and a mature fruit garden provide the perfect setup for hobby farming. Enjoy muscadine grapes, figs, pears, blueberries, apples, and plums. Additional exterior features include a gazebo and a workshop that were both just freshly painted. Inside, the home has been completely reimagined with high-quality updates. The entire interior has been repainted in fresh neutral tones, refinished hardwood floors throughout the main level, and elegant wainscoting adds classic charm. The kitchen features refinished cabinets, new countertops, sink, backsplash, and new hardware. All bathrooms have been fully remodeled, with the primary bath transformed into a true spa retreat complete with a jetted jacuzzi tub, large glass shower, dual vanity, makeup desk, and oversized walk-in closet with custom built-ins. The dining room impresses with soaring vaulted ceilings and skylights. Additional interior highlights include all-new lighting, fans, and outlets, a new smart thermostat, and a brand-new downstairs bedroom with a closet.
