About the property

Contemporary 3-Story Townhome — 4 Beds, 3.5 Baths, Deck

What stands out the moment you arrive at 7916 Sansom Circle is the clean, contemporary facade and the convenience of private driveway parking leading to a two-car attached garage. Built in 2025 by Kinger Homes, this three-level townhome stretches nearly 2,500 square feet and was finished for immediate occupancy — ideal for buyers seeking turnkey quality without the wait.

The main living level is built for everyday life and entertaining. An open-plan layout centers on a generous kitchen island and quartz countertops that run throughout the food-prep zones. The living area steps out to a deck off the main level — a practical outdoor room for evening dinners, coffee breaks, or a small container garden. Thoughtful contemporary finishes and durable materials were selected to minimize maintenance while keeping the palette fresh and modern.

All four bedrooms are arranged across the upper and lower levels to offer flexibility for families, home offices, or media spaces. The primary suite provides privacy and a spa-like ensuite while additional full baths and a powder room cover the needs of households and guests. Forced-air gas heating, central AC, and architectural shingle roofing reflect current construction standards and energy-conscious systems.

Beyond the home itself, College Downs is a neighborhood on the move. You’re 1.5 miles from UNC Charlotte, 1.2 miles from Pavilion Shopping Center for groceries and dining, and roughly two miles from Reedy Creek Park for weekend recreation. Monthly HOA dues of $190 keep common areas tidy and reduce the chores that come with single-family ownership. The property is listed at $439,000 (about $176/sqft) and sits with a 2025 assessed value of $200,000 — a familiar scenario for new builds pending post-sale reassessment.

Vacant and ready, 7916 Sansom Circle is positioned for buyers who want the simplicity of new construction with connections to employment, transit, and campus life. Whether you’re an investor eyeing university-driven demand or a household wanting modern, low-maintenance living with quick highway access, this home delivers a practical blend of contemporary design and strategic location.

Editorial market perspective

The local market around College Downs currently reads as balanced leaning slightly toward sellers. Inventory is tight at roughly 2.5 months, and the area’s median sale price sits near $415,000 with an average days on market of about 45 — indicating reasonably steady demand without the frenzy of a hot market. New-construction townhomes like this one have been selling in the $415K–$450K range, with recent comps showing price-per-square-foot values between approximately $175 and $231. For townhome buyers, that means competitive pricing combined with modern finishes is holding strong. Rental demand also supports investor interest: comparable townhomes fetch roughly $2,100–$2,350 monthly and this property’s rental estimate of $2,500/month implies a gross yield near 6.8%. If you’re considering purchase now, the reduced inventory and proximity to UNC Charlotte suggest favorable timing — established buyers still have negotiating room compared with higher-pressure submarkets, while investors can tap consistent tenant pools tied to the university and nearby employment centers.
