About the property

New Charleston-Style Duet — 3BR/2.5BA, 1,385 SF — 2 Miles to Downtown Matthews

Step into a freshly completed Charleston-style duet that lives like a single-family home. Built in 2026 and finished with designer touches, this 1,385 square-foot plan delivers an efficient, well-appointed layout: a welcoming foyer, a separate dining area ideal for weekday meals or hosting, and an open living/kitchen footprint anchored by 42" cabinets, granite counters and a stainless appliance package. The main level features durable luxury vinyl plank flooring and recessed LED lighting for a clean contemporary finish.

Upstairs the primary suite is paired with a designated office space off the bedroom — a thoughtful arrangement for buyers who need a quiet workspace without sacrificing private sleeping quarters. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the upper level, giving a balanced 3-bedroom configuration with 2.5 baths. Practicality is evident throughout: a drop zone off the rear-load garage, plentiful storage, and simplified exterior care through HOA-maintained yards.

The community is intentionally small — roughly 62 homes — with pocket green spaces, hammock stations, walking trails, sidewalks, a playground and a bark park for pets. Alley streets behind the homes preserve the front lawn aesthetic and make daily comings-and-goings feel tidy. Located about two miles from charming downtown Matthews, you're minutes from boutiques, restaurants and seasonal events while retaining a suburban, family-friendly setting.

This unit is offered move-in ready. Ask the listing agent about builder incentives and the HOA package — agent materials indicate HOA dues include water, sewer and lawn maintenance, a major convenience for owners seeking low upkeep. Contact Susan Baumann for details and a private tour.

Editorial market perspective

Matthews remains a sought-after pocket of the Charlotte metro for buyers seeking a suburban lifestyle with easy access to downtown amenities. New-construction duet and townhome products have been in demand because they offer modern finishes with lower maintenance obligations than detached homes. As of early 2026 the local market favors sellers for well-equipped, well-located new builds; median prices in the Matthews area for similar-sized new construction typically land near the low-to-mid $400k range and inventory levels stay relatively tight. Buyers should expect limited negotiating room when competing offers exist, but opportunities arise for buyers who verify HOA terms and select units that deliver strong functional layouts and included utilities. For investors, rental demand is steady among professionals and small families given proximity to employment corridors and strong local schools.
