About this home

A peaceful retreat awaits on this beautiful 1.43-acre cul-de-sac lot in Mineral Springs, where surrounding trees create a private setting and a picturesque backdrop. Two covered front porches bring welcoming Southern charm and offer inviting spots to sip morning coffee and enjoy the quiet of this wooded setting. With three spacious floors, brand-new carpet and neutral paint, this home offers room to spread out inside and unwind outdoors. Step inside to inviting spaces accented by classic architectural details and LVP flooring throughout the main level. Just off the foyer, an office with chair rail molding provides a dedicated space for work or a quiet reading retreat. The dining room’s tray ceiling and chair rail detailing set the stage for memorable dinners, from holiday celebrations to evenings with friends. At the heart of the home, the spacious living room features a fireplace and opens to the kitchen, keeping everyone connected during gatherings. Granite countertops and an adjoining breakfast nook create a welcoming spot for meal preparation and leisurely breakfasts. A mudroom and half bath round out the main level. The second floor opens to an expansive loft accented by chair rail molding, with ample room to create a second living room, media room, or a spacious gathering spot for family and friends. The expansive primary suite offers room to create your own sitting area, along with a ceiling fan and an exceptionally generous walk-in closet. Its adjoining bath pairs dual sinks with a garden tub and a separate tiled shower, creating a comfortable retreat at the end of the day. Three secondary bedrooms offer generous closet space, with details including chair rail molding and a ceiling fan adding character and comfort. An additional full bath completes the upper level. The sprawling third floor delivers two expansive bonus areas and another full bath, offering room for everything from a game room to theater or even a spacious home office or bedroom. The outdoor spaces make the most of this remarkable setting. Enjoy meals on the deck, spend cool evenings beside the outdoor firepit on the stone patio, or settle into the hot tub after a long day surrounded by the beauty and privacy of the trees. A three-car garage with a courtyard-style layout provides ample parking and storage, while a recently replaced HVAC system adds peace of mind. Enjoy the tranquility of this beautiful cul-de-sac setting just a short distance from shopping and restaurants in quaint downtown Waxhaw and Wesley Chapel. Schedule your private showing and experience this peaceful retreat for yourself.
