Welcome to The Last Great Estate in Magnolia Estates—a secluded retreat tucked beyond a private drive and bridge crossing over McDowell Creek. This beautifully updated 4-bed, 2.5-bath home sits on a .76-acre lot offering exceptional privacy, natural beauty, and functional outdoor living. The first floor features an impressive 18-ft foyer, a refined dining room ideal for gatherings, a formal living room, and a newly updated gourmet kitchen designed with remarkable space, style, and functionality. A breakfast nook and inviting family room overlook some of the best views in Magnolia Estates, enhanced by abundant natural light from large windows and transoms that frame the handsome stone fireplace. The primary suite is a true sanctuary—tastefully designed and filled with natural light. The adjoining luxury primary bath is breathtaking, leading to a spacious walk-in closet with a custom built-in system. Upstairs, you’ll find three generous bedrooms and a fully updated full bath. Step outside to discover the true magic of this property. A large wooden deck, stone pathway, and secondary stone patio with a metal-roofed gazebo create multiple spaces for outdoor living and entertaining. An 88-ft retaining wall provides expansive flat areas for play, and a powered shed sits along the back fence line. The fully fenced yard includes a rear gate offering private access to the Emerald Necklace Greenway. Located in Magnolia Estates with no HOA, low taxes, and positioned in the heart of Cornelius—one of North Carolina’s most sought-after communities—this rare opportunity combines privacy, convenience, and estate-level charm. Properties like this seldom become available.
