Nearly 5,000 sq. ft. of modern luxury in prime Baxter Village — tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac yet steps from shops, dining and trails. This full-brick estate welcomes you with a spacious front porch and a mahogany front door with 3/4 seeded glass, opening to a dramatic foyer with tray ceiling and modern lighting. Ten-foot ceilings on the main level (9-ft upstairs), hardwoods throughout, plantation shutters, custom draperies, and extensive millwork (tall baseboards, crown molding and picture-frame trim) create a refined, move-in-ready home. Designed for everyday living and entertaining, the floorplan offers five bedrooms and 5.5 baths — every bedroom with its own en-suite and walk-in closet. The primary suite is a serene retreat with abundant natural light, tray ceiling and a large custom closet; the spa-like bath features dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, frameless glass walk-in tile shower and private water closet. Multiple flex spaces include a loft/library with wall-to-wall built-ins, workout room, music room, media room with tray ceiling and wet bar (sink, beverage fridge, cabinetry), and a bright sunroom overlooking the backyard. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream: center island, gas cooktop with direct-vent hood, wall oven, large walk-in pantry and adjacent butler’s pantry with built-ins. A great room anchors the main living area with a sleek modern fireplace, sputnik chandelier and built-in ceiling speakers. Practical touches include a mudroom with drop zone, laundry with sink and counters, whole-house water filtration, tankless water heater (2025), two high-end HVAC systems (2025, 2022), and a fully encapsulated crawl space. Step outside to a private outdoor oasis overlooking green space and The Carolina Thread Trail with direct access to the Catawba River for kayaking and mountain-biking trails. Low-maintenance Trex deck, paver patio with cozy fire pit, fenced yard with irrigation and lush landscaping surround a beautiful free-form saltwater heated gunite pool with tanning ledge and fountains. A 3-car garage provides ample room for vehicles, toys and storage. This home blends high-end systems, thoughtful design details (arched openings, painted ceilings, designer lighting, chrome hardware) and exceptional indoor/outdoor living in one of Baxter Village’s most desirable pockets.
