About this home

Now offered at $449,000, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath full-brick Colonial offers approximately 3,300 square feet on a generous .46-acre corner lot in the established Sherwood Forest community — a mature neighborhood with no HOA.

At this price point, this home represents an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking space, character, flexibility, and value that is increasingly difficult to find in today’s market.

If you’ve been comparing newer construction, this home offers something different — larger living spaces, timeless character, mature landscaping, and a well-established setting without the restrictions of an HOA.

Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the main level features multiple living areas including a formal living room, dining room, den with fireplace, and an inviting all-season sunporch that creates seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Crown molding and wide-plank hardwood floors add warmth and architectural appeal throughout.

The kitchen offers granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and a functional layout designed for connection and efficiency. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are generously sized with excellent closet space, including a comfortable primary suite. Updated bathrooms blend modern finishes with classic style.

A finished bonus room above the garage provides exceptional flexibility and is ideal for multigenerational living, guest accommodations, a home office, or media space.

The backyard features a natural, landscaped setting with mature crepe myrtle trees and a gently sloped design, offering a more private, low-maintenance outdoor environment. Ideal for buyers who prioritize interior space, flexibility, and overall value over a traditional flat yard.

Additional highlights include a new roof (2025), main-level laundry, washer and dryer included, and an attached two-car garage.

Seller is now offering $3,000 in buyer flex cash with an acceptable offer, which may be used toward buyer closing costs, prepaid expenses, or interest rate buy-down, subject to lender approval.

Move-in ready and available for a quick closing, this is one of the strongest values for a full-brick home of this size currently available in the area. Conveniently located with easy access to Belmont, Charlotte, shopping, dining, and major roadways.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
