5361 Five Knolls Dr, Charlotte, NC, 28226

You notice the acreage first — a rare 1.3-acre, wooded parcel in the SouthPark corridor that instantly separates this property from typical Charlotte offerings. Set back from Five Knolls Drive, the home feels more like a private country estate than an in-city residence, yet it delivers immediate access to the shopping, dining and recreation that make 28226 one of the region’s most sought-after zip codes.

Inside, 3,249 square feet unfold across three thoughtful levels. The main level hosts the primary bedroom suite for single-level convenience, generous living spaces, and one of two gas-burning fireplaces that add warmth and presence. Upstairs contains two additional bedrooms, while the finished walk-out lower level provides a fourth bedroom with an attached full bath — perfect for guests or multi-generational living — plus a pool-table bonus room, workshop space, and abundant storage.

Stepping outside reveals the property’s true identity as an entertainer’s retreat: an in-ground pool maintained with a U/V system, a custom-built sauna, a screened porch and covered patio, extra deck area, and an outdoor firepit set within mature landscaping. The basement opens directly to these outdoor amenities, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living. Practical features include a desirable side-load garage and established mechanicals (details available on request).

Built in 1973 and thoughtfully cared for, this home delivers unique scale and privacy within minutes of Greenways, swim and golf clubs, and the retail and restaurant options that define South Charlotte. With two gas fireplaces, generous room sizes, and a combination of recreational and utility spaces (workshop, bonus room, storage), this property represents a rare opportunity to own acreage, mature trees, and a private pool while remaining close to the city’s premier corridor.
