The best of both worlds, right on the Huntersville and Davidson line. Built in 2021 in Mayes Hall, this 4-bedroom, 4-full-bath farmhouse-style home offers more than 3,000 square feet, with a covered front porch that looks out over open green space and the neighborhood's walking paths. Step inside and the light hits you first. Hardwood floors run throughout the main level, and a staircase with wood treads and modern horizontal black railings sets the tone in the foyer. The open kitchen features white shaker cabinetry, dark quartz counters, a subway tile backsplash, a gas cooktop under a custom range hood, a wall oven and microwave, a walk-in pantry, and a large island with seating. It flows straight into the family room, where a linear fireplace and a wall of sliding glass doors bring the outdoors in, and the dining area opens directly to the patio. A main-level bedroom with its own full bath and patio access works perfectly as a guest suite or home office, and a drop zone with a built-in bench sits just off the rear-load two-car garage. Upstairs, a bright open loft makes a great second living space or media room. The primary suite features a tray ceiling, a spa-style bath with a dual vanity and an oversized glass walk-in shower, and a huge walk-in closet. Two more bedrooms, two more full baths, and a laundry room round out the second floor. Out back, a covered patio with a ceiling fan leads to an expanded paver patio framed by mature privacy landscaping, a great spot for grilling, gathering, or relaxing in the evening. Davidson is one of the Lake Norman area's most charming small towns. Its walkable Main Street is lined with local shops, restaurants, and coffee spots, and it is anchored by Davidson College, founded in 1837, and a historic district full of classic architecture. Spend Saturday mornings at the year-round farmers market next to Town Hall, catch Concerts on the Green in the summer and Christmas in Davidson in December, or head out on the South Prong Rocky River Greenway. Lake Norman, Birkdale Village, and I-77 are all close by, with an easy drive to uptown Charlotte. .
