About This Property

Welcome to a rare blend of luxury, privacy, and versatility in the heart of Matthews. Active on the market as of 6/4/26 (online days-on-market displayed by some third-party sites may be inaccurate due to prior limited exposure marketing). The septic permit is for 3 bedrooms; however, the home offers two additional rooms with closets currently being used as a bedroom and office, providing flexibility for up to 5 bedrooms. Nestled on 2.3 pristine, wooded acres, this beautifully renovated home offers a peaceful retreat while remaining just minutes from Waverly, downtown Matthews, and I-485. Located in the highly sought-after Weddington school district with no HOA, this property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy refined living with exceptional privacy, space, and convenience. The fully remodeled kitchen is the centerpiece of the home, featuring elevated finishes, abundant workspace, and an expansive walk-in pantry. Extensive updates throughout include renovated bathrooms, HVAC (2022), updated plumbing and electrical systems, and a crawl space with vapor barrier—providing comfort and peace of mind for years to come. Designed for flexibility, the home features two primary suites—one on the main level and one upstairs—making it ideal for multi-generational living, long-term guests, or evolving household needs. Thoughtful renovations blend modern functionality with timeless style. Large windows fill the home with natural light and frame tranquil wooded views from nearly every room. Outside, an oversized covered porch creates the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the beauty of the surrounding landscape year-round. Car enthusiasts, hobbyists, and those needing additional storage will appreciate the attached two-car garage, plus a separate one-car garage with dedicated workshop space. Private acreage, luxury updates, flexible living spaces, top-rated schools, and no HOA—this is Matthews living at its finest.

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.
