Welcome to this beautifully reimagined residence. Redesigned from top to bottom, this move-in-ready home combines modern style, quality craftsmanship, and the peace of mind that comes from a true, fully permitted renovation. Offering 4 spacious bedrooms, 3 beautifully appointed bathrooms, and a versatile lower-level luxury suite, this home is designed to fit today's lifestyle while providing exceptional long-term value. Unlike many renovated homes that focus only on cosmetic finishes, this property underwent a comprehensive renovation with all required permits obtained and final inspections successfully completed. Every major improvement was completed to above code, giving buyers confidence that the work behind the walls is just as impressive as what they see. Major upgrades include all-new plumbing, updated electrical, a new HVAC system, new water heater, and new energy-efficient windows—providing years of reliability, efficiency, and reduced maintenance. The heart of the home is the stunning, fully remodeled kitchen, thoughtfully designed with new cabinetry, sleek countertops, modern fixtures, and brand-new appliances. It opens seamlessly into the main living areas, creating the perfect space for everyday living and entertaining alike. Throughout the home, every detail has been carefully selected to create a clean, modern aesthetic. All three bathrooms have been completely renovated with stylish finishes and contemporary fixtures, delivering a luxurious feel throughout. One of the home's most impressive features is the expansive lower-level suite, offering incredible flexibility as a private primary retreat, in-law suite, or guest quarters. Designed for both comfort and privacy, this exceptional space includes a spa-inspired bathroom featuring a freestanding soaking tub, oversized glass shower, spacious walk-in closet, and direct access to a private outdoor patio. Step outside to enjoy a large, fully fenced backyard offering endless possibilities for entertaining, relaxing, gardening, or pets. A newly poured driveway enhances the home's curb appeal while providing convenient off-street parking, and the new backyard fence creates additional privacy for outdoor living. This is far more than a simple remodel—it is a true renovation where both the visible finishes and the essential systems have been thoughtfully rebuilt. Homes with this level of craftsmanship, transparency, and fully permitted improvements are increasingly rare. If you've been searching for a home that offers modern design without the uncertainty often associated with renovated properties, this exceptional residence delivers both beauty and lasting peace of mind.
Shannon Park, located between Plaza Midwood and Eastway, is a mid-century and residential Charlotte neighborhood with curving streets and mature tree canopy. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around The Plaza near Eastway Drive, where corner markets, taquerias, and service storefronts set a lived-in, local rhythm. Community touchstones include Petra’s Bar, Snug Harbor, and the historic Midwood Smokehouse outpost nearby. Brick ranches and split-levels define the streetscape, with deep lots and carports that nod to postwar design. Little Sugar Creek Greenway and nearby parks shape an outdoors-forward routine. The setting keeps Uptown within a short drive while preserving a quieter, tucked-back feel.
