Single-Story Ranch in Encore at Streamside with Private Garden
What sets this home apart is how it pairs single-level ease with the social energy of Encore at Streamside. This 2024-built ranch presents 1,870 square feet across one thoughtful floorplan — three bedrooms, two baths — finished in durable fiber cement and stone veneer and topped with architectural shingles for low-maintenance curb appeal.
Step inside and the scale feels deliberate: 10-foot ceilings lift the rooms, and the gourmet kitchen features a gas cooktop and an exhaust hood specified for serious home cooks. The layout centers living areas around a covered rear porch and a private garden with buffered fencing — a small, secure outdoor room for container gardening, morning coffee, or evening gatherings without the upkeep of a large yard.
Designed for active adults who value amenities as much as convenience, the home connects directly to community-rich offerings: a luxury pool, three pickleball courts, walking trails, a dog park and an on-site lifestyle director who curates social programming. The attached two-car garage, central air, and natural-gas heating round out a comfortable, low-maintenance package ideal for buyers seeking a turn-key lifestyle.
Practical numbers matter here: purchased in 2024 for $534,786, the property’s assessed value is $563,500 with annual taxes of $2,705. The community’s modest HOA supports those resort-style amenities (HOA fee noted at $330/month). Location is equally compelling — three miles to Downtown Waxhaw’s shops and eateries, roughly 1.2–1.35 miles to Cuthbertson Middle and High Schools, and within a short drive of Cane Creek Park and Blakeney Shopping Center.
For buyers prioritizing modern construction, easy daily living, and a vibrant 55+ neighborhood, 1306 Idyllic Ln delivers an appealing blend of privacy and community. Schedule a showing to see the single-level layout, inspect the chef-ready kitchen, and experience the outdoor spaces that make this property feel like a private retreat inside an active community.

A factual market snapshot around 1306 Idyllic Ln.
Waxhaw’s market remains in a seller-favored posture with constrained supply and steady buyer demand. Current local metrics show roughly 2.5 months of inventory and an average days-on-market around 30 — conditions that historically produce multiple-offer scenarios for well-priced homes. The neighborhood’s median sale price sits near $550,000, and short-term appreciation has been modestly positive (about 5% in the last year, ~25% over five years).
Recent comparables within the same Encore at Streamside community reinforce pricing momentum: two new-construction homes very close by closed in the $540K–$570K range with price-per-square-foot near $305–306, while a larger nearby unit sold around $675K. This home’s valuation analysis centers around a $308/SF model with an estimated midpoint near $576,485, placing it competitively among recent sales.
Single-family ranches in active adult communities often sell faster than broader market averages because they combine new-construction finishes with on-site amenities and a social calendar — a strong value proposition for buyers 55+. Given limited inventory and demonstrable buyer interest in Encore at Streamside, this is an advantageous time for sellers; for buyers, bringing pre-approval and decisive offers typically improves negotiating leverage. Note ongoing HOA fees (~$330/month) and age-restricted resale considerations when evaluating total carrying costs and long-term plans.
