About This Property

Rare opportunity in Weddington schools on 2 private acres with no HOA — a beautifully crafted cypress wood ranch with a fully finished walkout basement designed for entertaining. A long private driveway welcomes you through mature trees to this distinctive home, offering both privacy and timeless architectural character. Constructed from beautiful cypress wood, the home showcases natural durability and charm, as cypress is known for its resistance to moisture, insects, and decay, making it as enduring as it is beautiful. A spacious covered front porch stretches across the front of the home, providing the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peaceful wooded surroundings. Inside, the home offers 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms with warm, inviting living spaces filled with natural light and rich wood accents. The interior has been freshly painted throughout, including the wood walls which have been updated to a lighter finish, creating a bright and welcoming feel while maintaining the home’s character. The primary bathroom has been fully renovated and features a walk-in glass shower, new flooring, updated sinks, fixtures, and toilet. Just off the kitchen is a bright and relaxing sunroom, perfect for morning coffee or quiet evenings. The sunroom opens to a private deck overlooking the backyard and fire pit area, offering peaceful views of the surrounding acreage. The kitchen also includes newer appliances including a microwave, refrigerator, and garbage disposal. The fully finished walkout basement dramatically expands the home’s living space and is ideal for entertaining. This level features a theater room, expansive recreation space, new flooring, full bathroom, and a cozy gas log fireplace. Sliding glass doors lead to an extended outdoor patio with a built-in bar and griddle, perfect for gatherings and outdoor cooking. Outdoor features make this property just as special. The rear deck has been redone, and a fire pit area has been added, creating inviting spaces to relax and entertain. The screened porch has been enclosed with new windows, flooring, drywall, doors, and lighting, providing additional year-round living space. Additional highlights include a large covered carport with extensive additional parking, a shed with electricity/20 amp dedicated circuit, and two wells on the property while the home is connected to county water. With top-rated Weddington schools, private acreage, distinctive cypress construction, extensive upgrades, and no HOA, this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful country-style living while remaining conveniently close to shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences.

About the Neighborhood

Homes for sale in 28104 place buyers in Matthews, one of the most consistently sought-after suburban communities in the entire Charlotte metro, situated approximately 12 miles southeast of Uptown via Independence Boulevard and I-485. The residential landscape reflects Matthews's evolution from a historic railroad town to a premier Charlotte suburb, blending beautifully preserved late Victorian and early Craftsman homes in the historic downtown core with mid-century ranches in established neighborhoods and newer construction executive communities on the town's expanding edges. The celebrated Downtown Matthews corridor along Trade Street anchors the community's identity with independent restaurants, boutique retailers, and the beloved Matthews Community Farmers Market — one of the most acclaimed farmers markets in the Carolinas. Squirrel Lake Park and the Four Mile Creek Greenway provide exceptional outdoor recreation woven directly into residential neighborhoods. The 28104 real estate market commands strong and consistent demand driven by the community's walkable town center, direct I-485 access, and a residential character that delivers genuine small-town authenticity within minutes of Charlotte's urban core.
