About this home
TWO PARCELS. 3.76 ACRES. RENOVATED 4BR/3BA HOME. POND. ADDITIONAL BUILDABLE HOMESITE. This unique Matthews property combines a beautifully renovated, move-in-ready home with an approximately 2-acre additional parcel—offering exceptional privacy, flexibility, and future possibilities. The existing home has undergone extensive renovations including a new roof, new HVAC, updated electrical and plumbing, renovated kitchen and baths, new flooring, and fresh finishes throughout. Outside, mature trees, a private pond, flat usable yard space, and multiple outdoor living areas create a peaceful retreat just minutes from town. THE HOME: The 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers 2,368 square feet of thoughtfully renovated living space. The updated kitchen features soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a built-in breakfast nook flowing into the dining and living areas. A beautiful stone fireplace anchors the light-filled main living space. The versatile split-level floor plan includes a spacious walk-out lower level, bedroom, and full bath—ideal for multi-generational living, guests, home office, recreation, or additional separation within the home. Major system improvements provide the benefits of a substantially updated home while preserving the mature setting and character that are difficult to recreate with new construction. Renovations were completed with permits. Outside, enjoy the private pond, covered deck overlooking the water, fire pit, generous flat yard areas, mature trees, and oversized detached outbuilding for storage, workshop, or hobby space. THE ADDITIONAL HOMESITE: Included is a separate approximately 2-acre parcel behind the existing residence. Finding this amount of buildable land in Matthews—especially paired with an existing renovated home—is increasingly rare. The spacious parcel provides flexibility for a variety of home sizes, footprints, and positioning, with room to thoughtfully design around privacy, yard space, and outdoor living. The parcel can accommodate monolithic slab construction, with city water and sewer available at the street, creating an outstanding opportunity for future construction. Together, the two parcels offer possibilities rarely found this close to town: create a private compound-style or multi-generational setting, build an additional residence while retaining the existing home, or maintain the acreage for privacy and future flexibility. Ownership of both parcels gives the buyer control over how this special setting evolves. Minutes from Downtown Matthews, Mint Hill, and Charlotte with no HOA. Two parcels. 3.76 acres. A fully renovated home. A pond. An additional homesite. One rare Matthews opportunity.
