Updated Farmhouse on 2.29 Wooded Acres — Two Primary Suites
This single-story farmhouse blends practical floorplan with memorable outdoor privacy: 116 Maple Grove Church Rd offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2,146 finished square feet atop a private, wooded 2.29-acre lot. The home feels like new inside thanks to brand-new LVP flooring throughout, refreshed baths with granite vanities and a kitchen built for daily living — a large island, pantry, double wall oven and newer stainless appliances create an easy entertaining flow. The great room centers on a custom electric fireplace and opens to dining and kitchen spaces for a comfortable, open lifestyle.
A standout of the floorplan is the pair of primary suites. The first primary suite includes a custom tile shower, single granite vanity, double closets and its own private deck. The second primary suite is dramatic with vaulted ceilings, a custom walk-in closet, dual granite vanity and another private deck — perfect for morning coffee or a quiet evening. Two additional bedrooms feature custom closets and share a well-appointed full bath. Laundry is conveniently located in-hall with washer/dryer hookups and a laundry closet.
Outdoor living is a central feature: the property’s mature trees and gentle topography create a park-like yard with multiple flat areas for gardens, play, or adding an outbuilding. Utilities are rural-friendly — well water and septic are installed, and HVAC is a heat-pump central system for year-round efficiency. There is no HOA, providing flexibility for exterior projects (verify county permitting and setbacks).
Located minutes from downtown Matthews and within easy driving distance of Weddington-area schools, commuter routes and regional shopping, this home is positioned for buyers who want acreage without sacrificing convenient access to urban amenities. Bring your hobby farm plans, park your toys, or simply enjoy the space — it's a rare combination of privacy, modern interior updates and a coveted school-area address.

A factual market snapshot around 116 Maple Grove Church Rd.
The Matthews / Weddington fringe market remains attractive to buyers seeking large lots within commuting distance of Charlotte. Inventory for 1+ acre residential parcels is limited, which supports a pricing premium for well-updated homes sited on private acreage. Median sale prices in the broader Matthews area have been above the county average, driven by school-cluster demand and proximity to downtown amenities. Sellers in this price band typically see strong interest from families and buyers relocating from the city; expect competitive showings if property documents (septic/well) and school assignment are well-documented. Months-of-inventory remains below historical norms in desirable pockets, giving motivated sellers leverage, while buyers should be prepared for inspection contingencies on septic/well systems.
