Derived from listing page structured data
What sets 12746 Rusty Blackbird Way apart is the thoughtfully finished lower level — a truly rare offering in Chapel Cove. Descend to discover a generous rec room designed to accommodate a full seating area plus games, an adjacent dedicated exercise room, and a private guest suite with a full bath. Storage is integral to the plan: the basement includes a large storage room, and the garage features a tandem storage bay ideal for seasonal gear or a neighborhood golf cart.
The main level is refined without fuss. Hardwood floors run throughout, a glass-doored office provides privacy for remote work, and the dining room is lifted by elegant tray ceilings. The chef's kitchen centers on a substantial gathering island and a butler's pantry, flowing into a bright family room anchored by a gas-log fireplace. Just off the kitchen, a sunroom expands casual dining and relaxation options, while a practical mudroom with a built-in computer niche keeps household logistics organized.
Upstairs, the primary suite is generous: dual closets plus the walk-in closet standard in every bedroom speak to storage-forward design. A flexible loft at the top of the stairs can serve as a second office, media room, or play space — a built-in bonus for growing families. All five bedrooms and their walk-in closets make this home especially adaptable for multigenerational living or frequent guests.
Exterior living is equally considered. A rocking-chair front porch welcomes visitors; at the rear, a deck with a retractable awning overlooks a wooded backdrop and steps down to an expanded paver patio and fully fenced yard — created for both simple evenings and larger gatherings. Living here also unlocks Chapel Cove’s resort-style amenities: clubhouse, community pool, pickleball and tennis courts, sport court, playground, walking trails, fitness center, and a paddlesport launch with convenient access to Lake Wylie. For buyers who want generous, finished square footage and versatile living zones without sacrificing neighborhood amenities or an easy commute to Uptown Charlotte, this home is rare and ready.
Careful maintenance and a layout engineered for modern entertaining and everyday life make this one more than a house — it’s a house-sized toolkit for living well.

This listing is priced at the broker list of $725,000, closely matching the valuation midpoint of $725,000 and a price-per-square-foot benchmark of roughly $165. That alignment suggests the price is supported by recent comparable activity in this segment. Chapel Cove inventory typically skews toward homes without finished lower levels, so the market for homes with extensive finished basements and flexible living areas tends to be tighter; the broker’s own description notes that homes offering this scope of finished space are uncommon. Given that positioning, buyers seeking extra living and entertaining square footage will find this property competitively placed.
While hyper-local days-on-market and inventory stats are not included in the provided data, the valuation confidence of 0.65 indicates reasonable comparables were available for the sales-comparison approach. For buyers, the combination of finished lower level, storage solutions, and community amenities makes this house stand out in value-per-square-foot comparisons. For sellers, the defined niche of buyers who prioritize finished basements and guest suites increases the potential for strong interest. Engaged buyers should be prepared to move decisively when a well-priced Chapel Cove home with these attributes hits the market.
