The right size home to fit your life right now. Move-in ready, with a main-level primary suite, secondary bedrooms and a huge loft upstairs, a screened porch for outdoor calm, and green space beyond the backyard in The Palisades in Charlotte on Lake Wylie, a community where trees, greenspace, and nature are valued.

An arched stacked stone entry leads inside to arched openings, wainscoting, and dark hardwood floors throughout the main level, including the primary bedroom. The front room, with a coffered ceiling, works as a formal dining room or private office. The gourmet kitchen, with white cabinetry, a generous curved granite island under lantern pendants, five burner gas cooktop and vent hood, wall oven, and walk-in pantry, opens to the light flooded living room anchored by a cozy gas fireplace.

The primary suite is a retreat, with a tray ceiling, wall of windows to the landscaped backyard, a huge walk-in closet, and a wide ensuite with garden tub, glass-enclosed tile shower with seat, private water closet, linen closet, and separate vanities with plenty of room to move around and share.

Upstairs, both bedrooms have walk-in closets and share a full bath with a double-sink granite vanity, and the open loft flexes for guests, a home office, or hobbies. Also, two walk-in attic storage areas for all the extras.

As easy as the inside is for living, the outside makes the most of the Carolina weather. Multiple windows on two sides of the living room invites you outside to the lush backyard. Two full glass doors showcase the screened porch, and the space extends to the expansive stone paver patio beside it, with room for grilling, gathering, and easy enjoyment. The flat, fenced yard has black aluminum fencing with two gates, tall evergreens along the back, and community green space beyond that.
