Stately Two-Story French Provincial Retreat in Radbourne. Set back from the street behind mature hollies and a curved walkway, this 3,313-square-foot, 5 BR, 3.5 BTH custom built stucco jewel delivers the presence of top quality construction with the layout of a well-run household. Twin front gables and a copper-topped bay window announce home that takes its architecture seriously without shouting about it. Step through the front door into a two-story living room, bordering a spectacular staircase, that opens straight through to a great room anchored by a masonry fireplace, then out to the covered patio and adjoining sunroom - a bonus indoor-outdoor space with its own ceiling fan and sliding glass doors to the backyard, ideal for morning coffee or an evening unwinding away from the main living areas. Perfect layout for those who love to entertain. The kitchen sits at the hub of the plan, breakfast nook on one side, formal dining on the other, so morning coffee and holiday dinners each get their own room instead of sharing one. Stainless premium appliances, a wine fridge, and a peninsula bar seating two round out a kitchen built for people who actually cook. The main-floor primary suite is the standout: 19'2" x 13'8", with a private bath and walk-in closet, meaning no stairs stand between you and bed at the end of a long day. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms - including a second primary suite - share space with a 16'4" bonus room that flexes as a media room, playroom, or home office, plus two walk-in attics for the kind of storage most houses this age simply don't have. Beyond the front door, Radbourne delivers what a lot of Charlotte's "swim/tennis" neighborhoods only advertise: a recently renovated clubhouse and pool with locker rooms and a ping-pong patio, four lighted competition-quality tennis courts, a four-acre lake, a playground, and direct greenway access - all a short walk from this address, not a membership waitlist away. Indoors or outdoors, this home has everything you need. A two-car garage, mudroom-adjacent laundry, and a quiet, tree-lined lot round out a home designed for a family that's outgrowing everyone else's floor plan.
