Tucked onto a quiet cul-de-sac street in the heart of McAdenville, this stunning 5-bedroom Craftsman-style home blends timeless Southern charm with thoughtful modern updates, all on one of the most private, tree-lined lots in the neighborhood. From the moment you pull up, the curb appeal is undeniable: a welcoming covered front porch, classic board-and-batten siding, navy shutters, and professional landscaping set the tone for what's inside. Step through the front door into a light-filled foyer featuring rich hardwood floors, crisp white board-and-batten wainscoting, and staircase. To your left, the formal dining room is framed by elegant archways and oversized windows, perfect for holiday gatherings and dinner parties. A butler's pantry with granite counters, glass-front cabinetry, and a built-in wine rack connects the dining room to the heart of the home. The open-concept main living area is where everyday life unfolds. The kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, tile backsplash, a center island with bar seating, and a walk-in pantry. It flows seamlessly into a sun-drenched breakfast nook surrounded by windows overlooking the backyard, and into the spacious family room anchored by a gas fireplace. A main-level bedroom currently being used as a home office offers the perfect work-from-home setup, and a full bath completes the first floor. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite is a true retreat with a tray ceiling, and tons of natural light. Three additional generously sized bedrooms, the third bedroom can also be utilized as a bonus room, a full hall bath, and a convenient upstairs laundry round out the second floor. But the real showstopper? The backyard. This extra-deep, fully fenced lot backs up to a mature tree line for unmatched privacy, a true rarity in the neighborhood. Whether you're sipping morning coffee on the porch, letting the kids and dogs run free, or hosting weekend cookouts, this outdoor space delivers. Plus, you're just steps from the community's walking and nature trails, giving you instant access to the outdoors right from your backyard. Living in McAdenville means you're part of something special. Known as "Christmas Town USA," McAdenville offers small-town charm, and walkable access to local shops, restaurants, parks and the Thread Trail along the South Fork River. You're just minutes to Belmont, 20 minutes to Uptown Charlotte, and an easy drive to Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Lake Wylie, and US National Whitewater Center.
