Behind a bright red front door and a canopy of mature trees, this custom Charter Place home lives mostly on one floor, with a two-story great room, a primary suite on the main level, and a backyard that feels like a private garden. The porch light is on, the fire pit is ready, and SouthPark, the Arboretum, and Uptown are all close by.
-
Crape myrtles and old hardwoods frame the front of the house, and the red arched door stands out against the stucco. In October the whole drive turns gold and orange, and the porch is exactly where you want a pumpkin.
-
The backyard is lushly planted and fully enclosed by a tall brick wall with a gated entry, so it feels more like a private garden than a typical yard. The paver patio has room for a fire pit, outdoor dining, and a few chairs, and the French doors from the dining area and great room open right onto it.
-
Clerestory windows and tall ceilings fill the main living space with daylight, with hardwood floors underfoot and a fireplace on one wall. An open staircase with an overlook adds some character, and the dining area and kitchen flow straight off the room.
-
White cabinetry, dark countertops, a tile backsplash, and stainless appliances make the kitchen bright and easy to work in. The island gives a spot for homework, snacks, or a bowl of candy, and the dining area next to it is surrounded by windows.
-
Two walk-in closets with custom shelving, plantation shutters, and room for a sitting area set the tone, and the bath has dual vanities, a jetted tub, and a tile shower with a rain head. The first floor was designed with wide doorways and an open plan, so living on one level is easy.
-
A skylit sunroom with tile floors and walls of windows looks into the trees, and a separate office or studio sits on the main level. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a full bath share the floor with a bonus room that works as a playroom, gym, or media space.
More about this home
This custom home sits behind mature hardwoods on a private, landscaped lot in Charter Place. The primary suite, laundry room, sunroom, and office or studio are all on the main level, and a drop zone with a built-in bench keeps backpacks and coats out of the way. The two-car garage is heated, cooled, and fully insulated, and storage is generous throughout.
The location is a big part of the appeal. SouthPark, the Arboretum, and Uptown are a short drive away, and downtown Matthews is minutes in the other direction. Providence Road, Highway 51, and I-485 are all close, Charlotte Christian School is just over a mile away, and the quiet, established streets are the kind where trick-or-treaters actually show up.
