Your own backyard getaway, with nobody behind you. This one-story Mint Hill home backs to a utility easement where nothing can be built, so the fenced, wooded backyard stays private for good. Out back is where this home shines. A heated 15x30 pool is surrounded by decking, the hot tub is in working order with lights, and a lighted gazebo with a gas fire table at its center makes evenings outside easy. Stone garden paths, mature hardwoods, a tree swing, and two storage sheds round out a yard made for relaxing and entertaining. Inside, the main level lives easy. A bright foyer opens to a private office and a formal dining room. The kitchen offers granite counters, warm wood cabinetry, a gas range, stainless appliances, a large pantry, and a peninsula that looks into the breakfast area and sunroom. The family room features a vaulted ceiling and a stacked stone fireplace, and the breakfast area opens through sliding doors to a sunroom with skylights and walls of windows overlooking the trees and pool. The primary suite has a tray ceiling, a walk-in closet, and a bath with dual vanities, a garden tub, a glass shower, and a heated towel rack. Two more bedrooms share a full hall bath, and a laundry room with cabinets and a double garage add everyday convenience. Wood-look floors run throughout. Mint Hill pairs small-town character with easy city access, about 20 to 25 minutes from uptown Charlotte with quick I-485 access. Mecklenburg County's first town, it is known for mature trees, larger lots, Mint Hill Veterans Memorial Park, the annual Mint Hill Madness fall festival, and the Carl J. McEwen Historic Village, with shopping and dining along Matthews-Mint Hill Road and in nearby Matthews. Schedule your private tour today.
