About this home

PHOTOS DON'T DO THIS ONE JUSTICE – IT FEELS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IN PERSON. A MUST-SEE.

From the street, it reads as a handsome 1967 mid-century ranch on nearly an acre. Step inside, though, and the home opens around something you'd never expect: a private in-ground pool, framed on every side by the house itself – a courtyard retreat entirely your own. Within, timeless character shines – exposed-beam ceilings, walls of windows, and a dramatic step-down living and dining room anchored by a striking rock fireplace. The kitchen opens to a spacious den warmed by a second fireplace, with a clever pass-through window serving straight out to the pool. A newer pump and Hayward filtration keep it ready, while a generous walk-in pantry and a mud/laundry room with full bath handle everyday life with ease. Three bedrooms and three full baths include a primary suite, all with ceramic-tile baths. Outside, a circular driveway and 2-car garage round out the effortless one-level living. And the setting delivers: an established, no-HOA neighborhood less than a mile from the Schiele Museum and Gaston County Library, with the Catawba Creek Greenway, I-85, shopping, and dining all minutes away – Crowders Mountain and Charlotte Douglas Airport within easy reach. One-level living wrapped around a private pool is a rare find here – and one you'll want to see for yourself.

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