Updated 2-Story Home on .82 Acre with Walkout Basement
This two-story Concord home sits on a rare, private .82-acre lot that backs to a small creek — a true suburban retreat with modern finishes. The main level flows from an updated kitchen into living spaces designed for everyday life and entertaining. The remodeled kitchen features quartz countertops, new cabinetry, contemporary appliances, and efficient layout that opens toward the yard. A convenient half bath and laundry room on the main floor add practical convenience.
Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms and a fully renovated full bath. Recent upgrades called out by the seller include a new roof and refreshed bathrooms; overall condition is clean and move-in ready. The unfinished walkout basement is the standout value proposition: it provides immediate storage and utility space plus an easy pathway to add finished living area, a home office, media room, or additional bedroom(s) to significantly increase resale value.
Outside, the property delivers privacy and scale — level usable yard space, mature trees, and peaceful creek views make this an ideal yard for pets, gardening, and weekend gatherings. There is no HOA, giving you freedom to customize the lot and structures subject to county rules. Parking is via a circular driveway with room for multiple vehicles.
Location is convenient to Harrisburg shopping and dining, major hospitals, and I‑485 for commuting into Charlotte. Systems include central air and electric heating; water is from a well and sewage is handled via an on-site septic system (buyer to verify). Whether you're seeking a family home with yard and expansion potential or an investor who can finish the basement for upside, 188 Mary Cir offers a balance of updates, land, and location.

A factual market snapshot around 188 Mary Cir.
Cabarrus County and northern Concord remain desirable to buyers looking for larger lots within a reasonable commute to Charlotte. Over the past 12 months the market has moderated from the hyper-competitive conditions of 2020–2022; median sale prices in the submarket are roughly in the mid-$300k range, and inventory has stabilized to a healthier level. Single-family homes that are updated and sit on larger lots continue to sell faster than average. For this property, the renovated kitchen and new roof reduce buyer objections, while the unfinished walkout basement provides tangible upside. Pricing at $389,900 positions the home competitively for owner-occupant buyers seeking land and privacy and for small-scale investors who can add finished square footage.
Residential single-family (county zoning; likely rural/residential classification permitting single-family dwellings and accessory structures).
