Set within the gated community of The Magnolias, this spacious Charlotte residence features more than 4,100 square feet across three finished levels, blending generous living areas, thoughtful design and exceptional flexibility. Built in 2003, the home showcases hardwood flooring throughout much of all three levels, extensive crown molding and abundant natural light from numerous windows and skylights. The main level is designed for comfortable everyday living, beginning with a generous primary suite featuring two walk-in closets and a private bath. First-floor laundry adds practicality, while the expansive kitchen includes abundant cabinetry, a built-in desk area and large walk-in pantry. The kitchen flows easily into the impressive two-story great room, highlighted by custom built-ins. Just off the foyer, the formal dining room creates an inviting setting for entertaining with flexibility for alternative uses. Upstairs, two bedrooms with new carpet share a Jack-and-Jill bath. An open loft overlooking the two-story great room extends the living area and includes built-in shelving, while custom shades over the skylights allow for easy control of natural light. The finished third floor adds another dimension to the home with a full bath, skylights and exceptional storage, including multiple walk-in closets. This private level is well suited for overnight guests, a home office, fitness or media room, hobby area or a combination of uses. A fenced backyard creates a private outdoor retreat, and the two-car garage allows for additional parking and storage. Electronic code-controlled gated access adds to the privacy of the community. One of the notable advantages of living in The Magnolias is the value included through the HOA. Exterior building maintenance, lawn care and landscaping are handled by the association, while water consumption is also included in the HOA dues. In addition, the HOA maintains a master insurance policy covering portions of the property, which may significantly reduce an owner's individual homeowners insurance costs. Together, these benefits can eliminate several expenses and responsibilities typically associated with single family residences. The location places shopping, dining, medical services and everyday necessities within easy reach. Atrium Health and Novant Health services are nearby, as is The Arboretum Shopping Center with its numerous restaurants, shops and services. Uptown Charlotte is approximately 10 miles away via Providence Road, keeping the heart of the city readily accessible while enjoying the privacy of a gated residential setting.
