Seller is competing with new construction by offering $10,800 toward a buyer rate buydown. Why rent when this home is ready for immediate occupancy? Why wait to build? This nearly new 2022 home on a premium cul-de-sac lot in Forest Creek is move-in ready, with upgrades you'd pay extra for with a builder. The chef's kitchen features a quartz island with seating, a stainless electric range, a vented canopy hood, staggered cabinetry and under-cabinet lighting, plus a spacious butler's pantry with matching quartz and backsplash. Engineered hardwood flows through the main living areas, and a front formal dining room is filled with natural light. A built-in drop zone sits off the garage entry. Upstairs are four spacious bedrooms. The primary suite includes a private bonus room, reached through the primary closet, that works well as an office, nursery, home theater or quiet retreat. It also has a 5-foot tiled shower and comfort-height counters. Other upgrades include upgraded electrical and security systems, CAT5 wiring, surround sound in two rooms, ceiling fan pre-wiring, and faux wood blinds throughout. Outside, a 6-foot privacy fence surrounds the backyard, and the concrete patio is ready for entertaining. There's also a three-car-wide driveway and a garage with a utility sink and built-in shelving. It's about 10 minutes to Locust, 20 to Mint Hill and Concord, and 30 to Matthews.
