About the property

Classic 3BR, 2.5BA Charlotte Home on a Quarter-Acre Lot

This comfortable two-story home at 741 Wilderness Trail Dr blends practical layout and outdoor space into a strong value for northeast Charlotte buyers. Built in 2003 and offering 1,502 square feet, the floor plan places the living room—with its warm fireplace—at the heart of the main level, opening to dining and kitchen areas designed for everyday living. A powder room and storage complete the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite features a private bath, complemented by two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath — a straightforward plan that works well for families and professionals sharing space.

Out back, the quarter-acre lot (approx. 10,890 sqft) is one of the property’s true advantages: ample room for a play area, garden, or future deck addition. The yard provides privacy and flexibility uncommon at this price point in the submarket. The home sits on a quiet residential street with easy access to nearby shopping and commuter routes that service University City and I-485.

The interior condition is consistent with a cared-for early-2000s home — neutral finishes that allow for easy personalization. While the listing does not record a garage, the driveway and street parking handle everyday needs; buyers can evaluate options for a future garage or covered parking. With a list price of $305,000 and price/sqft near $203, this property is competitively positioned for buyers seeking move-in-ready value or investors seeking stable rental demand.

Showings are available by appointment. Ask your agent for seller disclosures, HVAC and roof records, and a full list of recent updates. This is a pragmatic opportunity in a stable Charlotte neighborhood—good lot, functional interior, and straightforward access to the city’s employment and retail corridors.

Editorial market perspective

Neighborhoods in northeast Charlotte have been steady performers: inventory remains constrained enough to favor sellers of well-priced single-family homes, but not so tight that buyers are priced out. Median home prices in the broader area are roughly mid-$300ks; demand is strongest for affordable, move-in-ready homes with yards. Days on market have shortened compared with deeper inventory cycles earlier in the decade; expect competitive interest when price and condition align. For this listing, the $305,000 ask places it attractively for owner-occupiers and buy-to-rent investors. Verify local comps and confirm school assignments and system ages before submitting offers.
