What if you didn't have to choose between the energy of city living, the beauty of a newer luxury home and a neighborhood with room to breathe? Welcome to Chantilly on the Green-where one of Charlotte's most appealing lifestyles begins right outside your front door. Built in 2021 with the timeless character of a classic Craftsman, this exceptional four-bedroom home pairs beautiful architectural detail with the ease of modern construction. Step inside and the difference is immediate: soaring ceilings, site-finished hardwoods, handsome wood beams and elevated finishes bring warmth and dimension to an open, light-filled main level designed to feel equally at home hosting a crowd or settling in for a quiet evening. At the heart of it all, an expansive kitchen invites everyone to gather. The oversized island offers plenty of room to pull up a seat, while KitchenAid appliances, abundant cabinetry and generous workspace make the kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. And for anyone who truly loves to cook, the oversized pantry provides exceptional storage for everything from entertaining pieces to the collection of kitchen gadgets you swore you needed. The surrounding living and dining spaces flow naturally together, anchored by a cozy gas fireplace and filled with natural light. One of the home's greatest strengths is just how thoughtfully it lives. French doors open the home office to the covered front porch-an inspiring place to work with the neighborhood just beyond-while a spacious main-level bedroom with its own full bath offers a wonderfully comfortable option for guests, extended stays or multigenerational living, with no stairs required. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a true retreat, with two walk-in closets and a beautifully appointed bath featuring an oversized shower, soaking tub and dual vanities. Two additional bedrooms each enjoy their own private bath, while an oversized laundry room adds the kind of practical luxury you quickly wonder how you ever lived without. Out back, trade weekends spent maintaining a sprawling yard for evenings spent actually enjoying them. The beautifully landscaped, low-maintenance outdoor space pairs a deck and paver patio for dinner, cocktails or a fire under the stars, while the detached two-car garage offers the storage space that can be surprisingly hard to find this close to the heart of Charlotte, along with EV charging. And then there's the lifestyle. Chantilly on the Green offers landscaped green spaces, walking paths, a private dog park, fire pit and gathering pavilion, while nearby wooded trails and the Chantilly Ecological Sanctuary provide an unexpected dose of nature in the middle of the city. This is a neighborhood made for getting outside-whether that means a morning walk, a bike ride or simply taking the dog out and catching up with neighbors. And when you're ready for something livelier, some of Charlotte's most loved neighborhoods are right around you. Grab coffee and something sweet at Villani's at the end of the street, head toward Plaza Midwood or Elizabeth for dinner, explore NoDa, or spend an evening Uptown. Restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, cultural destinations and everyday conveniences are all remarkably close at hand. Yet for all that access, Chantilly retains something increasingly special: an established neighborhood feel, tree-lined surroundings and a genuine sense of community, with neighborhood gatherings and events throughout the year. This is the rare home that lets you have both: newer luxury without leaving the city behind, and an urban lifestyle without giving up a sense of neighborhood, nature and home. Beautifully designed. Effortlessly livable. Exceptionally connected. Welcome home to Chantilly on the Green.
