Bright 2023 4-Bed Home with Office & Screened Porch
Welcome to 1217 Black Walnut St — a contemporary 2023 build in Medlin Forest designed for modern family life and remote work. The main level opens to an expansive living area that flows to a generous kitchen anchored by a large island for meal prep and casual dining, plus a separate formal dining room for gatherings. The first-floor office sits discreetly off the entry, offering a dedicated workspace without intruding on living areas.
Upstairs, the primary suite is thoughtfully sized and includes a full attached bath and a roomy walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bath, creating a comfortable layout for kids, guests, or a hobby room. Storage is abundant throughout the floorplan, with closets and practical built-ins taking care of everyday organization.
Outdoor spaces are built for year-round use: a screened-in porch extends living to the backyard while a covered front porch adds curb appeal and a welcoming transitional space. The yard (approx. 7,840 sqft) provides room for play, light landscaping projects, or a put-in garden. The listing indicates driveway parking; owners may choose to add a garage or carport if desired and permitted by local code.
Located minutes from central Monroe amenities, this home keeps grocery, dining and Atrium Health Union within a short drive while remaining tucked into a quiet residential pocket. With contemporary finishes, a flexible floorplan, and the convenience of newer construction, this property is an excellent buy for buyers seeking immediate occupancy or investors targeting stable rental demand in the Union County suburban market.

A factual market snapshot around 1217 Black Walnut St.
Monroe and Union County remain desirable for buyers priced out of central Charlotte but seeking single-family yards and newer construction. Since 2024 the local market has moderated from pandemic peaks; inventory has increased and median days on market have lengthened to the 30–45 day range.

At a list of $425,000 for 2,535 sqft (about $168/sqft), this entry sits competitively for newer 4-bedroom product in Medlin Forest. Expect steady buyer activity from local families and professionals commuting to the Charlotte area, and good rental demand if used as an investment.
