About the property

Spacious 6-Bed Brick Home on a Quiet Cul-de-Sac in Knightsbridge

This classic brick-front home at 523 Whitehead Ct occupies one of Knightsbridge’s quiet cul-de-sac lots and delivers genuine family living without compromise. At roughly 3,218 finished square feet, the floorplan accommodates multiple uses: a dedicated sunroom off the main living area, formal and casual living zones, and a flexible upstairs layout that supports bedrooms, bonus space and home offices.

The owners have maintained the home thoughtfully — mature landscaping, in-ground irrigation and a large, level yard create an immediate sense of privacy and outdoor usability. A generous screened-in porch overlooks the backyard and is a standout feature for year-round outdoor dining and entertaining. Inside, you’ll find a recently updated primary bathroom, durable mixed flooring (hardwood/tile/carpet where appropriate), and a well-equipped kitchen with a wall oven, electric cooktop and convenient main-level laundry area.

Six bedrooms provide rare scale for this price band in Fort Mill, making this house ideal for multi-generation living, home offices or hobby rooms. Practical amenities include a two-car attached garage, zoned central air with ceiling fans, and public utilities. Knightsbridge residents enjoy community amenities such as a clubhouse, pool, tennis courts and sidewalks — all a short walk or drive from the home.

Positioned for both lifestyle and commute, this property is a strong choice for buyers seeking room to grow in a top suburban school district and easy access to Charlotte via SC-160/I-77. Schedule your tour to see how this well-kept home combines space, outdoor living and neighborhood conveniences.

Editorial market perspective

Fort Mill remains one of the stronger suburbs in the Charlotte metro for family buyers — inventory is tight and demand is driven by school quality and commutability. At the $500K–$650K tier, buyers are actively pursuing larger, move-in-ready homes; low supply in Knightsbridge and similar subdivisions keeps pressure on list-to-sale ratios. Median sale prices in nearby Fort Mill neighborhoods have trended upward over the last several years (single-digit annual appreciation recently and double-digit over five years), and a quick 5 days on market for this listing demonstrates continuing buyer interest. Sellers should expect competitive activity if priced in line with condition and neighborhood comps; buyers should be ready with pre-approval and clear timelines.
