At the end of the cul-de-sac, down the concrete drive bordered by split-rail fencing, enter a community of humans, animals and plants, each in their defined habitats; a functioning unit of nature. Imagine your home, part of this biodiversity; 12.54 private acres situated just outside the charming village of Waxhaw, NC .This quaint town is located in the North Carolina Piedmont historic region called the Waxhaws and named after the indigenous Native American tribe that lived there prior to colonial settlement. The community was settled by European-Americans in the mid-eighteenth century; most settlers were of German and Scots-Irish origin and became subsistence farmers; known for being independent. Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States was born nearby in 1767. This Legacy Lane home offers a special environment, a stunning custom-built Craig Miller home on more than 12 acres with pasture, woodlands and wetlands, including an ideal site for a pond. Your private ecosystem located in the Stonewycke neighborhood; no HOA dues. The current owner is a horse lover and the property has a 2-stall barn as well as a storage building for tack, or to support the care of your animal(s) of choice or other supplies for your hobby farm. The drive directs you to the handsome home with 2-car garage, extra parking space and easy access to the barn and storage building. A creative floorplan, and obvious construction attention to detail, follows as the front door opens to a large open foyer with sightlines to the 2-story great room. The foyer is flanked by an office and a dining room, or perhaps a reading room. As you step into the great room your senses are immediately accosted by several architectural delights; a 2-story stone fireplace is the focal point of the room, followed by striking views of the back yard and woods via the covered porch and the deck. Above you, the open catwalk adds to the open nature of the room. This large, warm, centerpiece room opens to the kitchen and breakfast area, creating a spacious living and dining area with unobstructed views. Passing through the kitchen, the practicality of the home is evident with a large laundry/mud room half-bath and closet off the garage. Likewise, a back stairway provides easy, private access to the upstairs. On the opposite side of the home the main level master offers a bedroom with a bay window providing views of the outdoors; an ideal sitting area. A door also accesses the covered porch and deck with hot tub. The master provides a spacious walk-in closet and bath with oversized walk-in tiled shower. Accessing the upstairs by either staircase you have easy access to the bonus room, 2 bedrooms, a full bath, private sitting space and walk-in attic access. The 24 x 15 bonus room is large enough to accommodate any number of uses; the double glass French doors are just one more pleasing architectural touch. The bedrooms open to the hall overlooking the great room adding to the warm yet roomy appeal of the 4100+ sq ft home. Again, the functionality of the home has been addressed with attic fans thermostatically controlled. The views from the home are varied and inviting. A walk around the property reinforces the natural setting; manicured back yard, adjoining pasture to enjoy your horse, or other animals, acres of woods to explore, wetlands and a natural site for a pond should you choose. There is also a garden plot for your fresh vegetables, greenhouse for your similarly colored thumb, as well as grape vines and blueberry bushes for your homemade jellies and jams. As a nature lover, you are minutes away from Cane Creek Park with miles of equestrian riding and hiking trials and views of a 350 acre lake.
