About this home

Room for Everyone, and a Backyard Worth Coming Home To!! Some houses make you choose: space for guests or space to work, a big kitchen or a big yard. This one in Matthews doesn't ask you to pick. It offers six bedrooms and four and a half baths on two floors, with a covered front porch that runs nearly 30 feet across the front and mature trees all around. Step inside and the foyer sets the tone with wainscoting, crown molding, and a staircase with iron balusters. Beside it, a dining room with a tray ceiling and columns, and beyond a pair of French doors, a main-level bedroom that would make a bright home office. The heart of the house is the kitchen. A big granite island seats four, with white cabinetry, a gas cooktop, a wall oven, and a pantry close at hand. It opens to a living room with a corner stacked-stone fireplace and a wall of windows facing the backyard. A breakfast nook leads straight out to the patio. A second main-level bedroom has a full bath right next door. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like its own retreat: a tray ceiling, a large walk-in closet, and a bath with a soaking tub, a glass-enclosed shower, and a double vanity. Three more bedrooms, a 24-foot bonus room under dormer ceilings, and a laundry room with a utility sink round out the floor. Out back, two paver patios, a river-rock dry creek bed, and a stepping-stone path wind through a wooded yard with a black metal fence. A two-car side-load garage and a mudroom bench handle the everyday traffic
