About This Property

Welcome to 5404 Cotton Top Court, an exceptional estate nestled on 1.569 acres in the serene countryside of Waxhaw, where refined living meets thoughtful design. Spanning an impressive 5,495 square feet, this three-level residence offers a rare blend of elegance, privacy, and versatility—perfectly suited for today’s discerning buyer seeking both luxury and functionality. From the moment you arrive, the extended private drive and three-car garage set the tone for the scale and presence of this home. Inside, timeless design elements unfold, beginning with a formal dining room ideal for elevated entertaining and a private main-level office with full bath, offering the flexibility of a guest suite or fifth bedroom. The heart of the home is an expansive open-concept living space designed for both grand gatherings and intimate moments. Seamless flow leads you outdoors to a resort-style setting, where a recently relined pool and rebuilt deck (April 2026) create a private retreat for relaxation and entertaining alike. Upstairs, a spacious loft provides an additional layer of living, while generously sized bedrooms offer comfort without compromise. The fully finished lower level presents a private apartment-style living space, thoughtfully designed for multigenerational living, long-term guests, or curated income opportunities—all while maintaining privacy and independence. Beyond its beauty, this home is engineered for elevated living with dual septic systems, a private well with a water softener, and recent mechanical updates, including a new outdoor condenser (April 2026) and newer basement carpeting (2021). This is more than a home—it is a lifestyle defined by space, sophistication, and seamless multigenerational living.

About the Neighborhood

Homes for sale in 28173 place buyers in Waxhaw, one of Union County's most charming and rapidly growing small towns, approximately 20 miles south of Charlotte via Providence Road and US-521, defined by its beautifully preserved historic downtown, antique district reputation, and a genuine village atmosphere that distinguishes it within the broader Charlotte suburban landscape. The residential landscape ranges from traditional and Craftsman-inspired homes in established in-town neighborhoods surrounding the historic Downtown Waxhaw corridor to expansive new construction executive communities on Union County's generous lots. Downtown Waxhaw's Main Street delivers one of the most authentic small-town retail and dining experiences in the metro, lined with independent antique dealers, local restaurants, and boutique shops that attract visitors from across the region. Cane Creek Park — one of Union County's premier outdoor recreation destinations featuring lake access, equestrian trails, and athletic facilities — is directly within the zip code. The 28173 real estate market commands strong demand and steady appreciation, driven by the community's distinct character, newer construction inventory, and a US-521 commute placing Uptown Charlotte approximately 30–35 minutes away.
