What if you didn't have to choose between the energy of city living, the beauty of a newer luxury home and a neighborhood with room to breathe? Welcome to Chantilly on the Green-where one of Charlotte's most appealing lifestyles begins right outside your front door. Built in 2021 with the timeless character of a classic Craftsman, this exceptional four-bedroom home pairs beautiful architectural detail with the ease of modern construction. Step inside and the difference is immediate: soaring ceilings, site-finished hardwoods and striking architectural wood beams bring warmth and dimension to an open, light-filled main level designed to feel equally at home hosting a crowd or settling in for a quiet evening. At the heart of it all, an expansive kitchen invites everyone to gather. The oversized island offers plenty of room to pull up a seat, while KitchenAid appliances, abundant cabinetry and generous workspace make the kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. The surrounding living and dining spaces flow naturally together, anchored by a gas fireplace and filled with natural light. One of the home's greatest strengths is just how thoughtfully it lives. French doors open the home office to the covered front porch-an inspiring place to work with the neighborhood just beyond-while a main-level bedroom with its own full bath provides a wonderfully flexible space for guests, extended stays or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a true retreat, with two walk-in closets and a beautifully appointed bath featuring a soaking tub and dual vanities. Two additional bedrooms each enjoy their own private bath, while an oversized laundry room adds the kind of practical luxury you quickly wonder how you ever lived without. Out back, trade weekends spent maintaining a sprawling yard for evenings spent actually enjoying them. A deck and paver patio create an intimate outdoor setting for dinner, cocktails or a fire under the stars, while the detached two-car garage provides additional storage and EV charging. And then there's the lifestyle. Chantilly on the Green combines the neighborhood feel that's increasingly difficult to find this close to the center of Charlotte with landscaped green spaces, walking trails, a dog park, fire pit and gathering pavilion. Just beyond the community, the wooded trails and ponds of the Chantilly Ecological Sanctuary offer an unexpected dose of nature in the middle of the city. And when you're ready for something livelier, some of Charlotte's most loved neighborhoods are just minutes away. Dinner in Plaza Midwood. Coffee or cocktails in NoDa. An evening in Elizabeth. A show or game Uptown. Here, the best parts of Charlotte aren't a special occasion-they're part of everyday life. This is the rare home that lets you have both: newer luxury without leaving the city behind, and an urban lifestyle without giving up a sense of neighborhood, nature and home. Beautifully designed. Effortlessly livable. Exceptionally connected. Welcome home to Chantilly On The Green.
