1016 Ladera Drive, Waxhaw, NC

Situated within a private gated enclave in the sought-after Marvin corridor, this 2018 residence exemplifies the contemporary brick estate designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The 5,705-square-foot floor plan is anchored by a two-story volume that transitions through retractable glass walls to a screened terrace, overlooking a custom saltwater pool characterized by its tanning ledge and waterfall features. A sophisticated culinary suite, equipped with dual dishwashers and floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, serves both the formal dining spaces and a generous five-bedroom layout, which includes a primary retreat and a guest suite on the main level. While the Waxhaw submarket has seen a significant influx of development, the scarcity of relatively recent construction within established gated communities continues to drive long-term value for estates of this caliber. This property offers the rare combination of architectural permanence and the functional versatility required for modern professional and athletic pursuits. Private viewings may be coordinated through Peters & Associates.
