About the property

Champion Forest Entertainer: 6BR/5BA Home with Outdoor Oasis

What sets this Champion Forest residence apart is the way its indoor and outdoor living areas were designed for real life: large family gatherings, quiet home office days, and weekend backyard barbecues that last into the evening. Perched at the end of a quiet cul‑de‑sac on a half‑acre parcel, the home opens to an updated chef’s kitchen featuring brand‑new quartz countertops and a coordinating backsplash—practical, low‑maintenance surfaces that anchor a room built for weekday breakfasts and holiday dinners alike.

Downstairs you’ll find a first‑floor guest suite and a dedicated office with French doors, while the main family room centers on a fireplace and comfortable circulation for modern living. Engineered with zoned HVAC and three levels of well‑appointed space, the plan continues upward to private bedrooms and a third‑floor bonus room outfitted with a built‑in bar and beverage fridge—perfect for a media room, game night, or multi‑use studio.

The backyard is the property’s signature: an expansive screened‑in porch steps out to an outdoor living area with a built‑in gas grill, fireplace, and a hot tub—an ideal setup for year‑round entertaining. The brick exterior and architectural shingle roof announce a home built to last, and the 3‑car attached garage plus additional driveway parking make hosting easy. The lot’s gentle hills and mature landscaping create discreet pockets of privacy while still providing generous lawn and play space.

Champion Forest buyers prize the neighborhood for its combination of suburban tranquility and convenient access: sidewalks, community pool and playground, and walking trails are all part of the community fabric, while downtown Waxhaw is just a few minutes away. With thoughtfully executed updates, ample entertaining spaces, and proximity to highly rated Cuthbertson Middle and High Schools, this home blends practical family amenities with elevated living.

Editorial market perspective

Waxhaw’s market remains tilted in favor of sellers right now. Inventory sits at roughly 2.5 months—below a balanced market threshold—while average days on market in the corridor hover near 30 days, indicating homes that are well‑priced and well‑marketed still move quickly. The neighborhood’s median sale price for comparable properties is currently around $850,000, and local appreciation has shown about 5% year‑over‑year and roughly 25% over five years. For this specific property, valuation analysis places a fair market range between $950,000 and $1,020,000 with a midpoint near $985,000; the county assessed value of $913,700 corroborates that positioning.

Single‑family homes in Champion Forest and surrounding pockets of Waxhaw perform strongly—demand is driven by family buyers seeking access to Cuthbertson schools and the neighborhood amenities. Low inventory plus desirable features (updated kitchens, private lots, outdoor living) create competitive conditions; buyers should expect timely decisions and sellers can anticipate solid interest. Investors will note an estimated monthly rent near $4,100 and a gross yield around 5%, though owner‑occupant buyers typically dominate this segment.
