RARE FINISHED BASEMENT WITH EXPANSIVE REC ROOM, EXERCISE ROOM, AND GUEST SUITE! This beautifully maintained home in sought-after Chapel Cove offers over 4,300 square feet of thoughtfully finished space, including a basement level designed for the way today’s buyers want to live and entertain. The spacious rec room easily accommodates a full sitting area with TV plus a pool table, ping pong table, or game space — with room to spare for an arcade game, built-in bar, or future kitchenette. Just off the rec room, a dedicated exercise room easily fits weights and multiple machines such as a treadmill, elliptical, or stair climber. The lower level also includes a private bedroom and full bath, creating the perfect setup for guests, extended family, an au pair, or a comfortable in-law suite. Storage is abundant throughout the home. The garage features a tandem storage bay, ideal for extra storage or a golf cart to explore the neighborhood, while the basement includes a large additional storage room. On the main level, attention to detail continues with hardwood floors throughout, a dedicated office with glass doors, and elegant tray ceilings in the dining room. Designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining, the chef’s kitchen features a large gathering island, butler’s pantry, and seamless flow into the light-filled family room anchored by a gas log fireplace. A sunroom just off the kitchen provides flexible space for casual dining or relaxing, while the mudroom with a built-in computer niche helps keep daily life organized. Upstairs, every bedroom includes a walk-in closet, including dual closets in the spacious primary suite. A versatile loft at the top of the stairs offers endless possibilities — a second office, playroom, den, or media space. Outdoor living is equally inviting. Enjoy sunrise mornings on the rocking chair front porch and unwind at sunset overlooking the wooded backdrop from the back deck beneath the retractable awning. The fully fenced backyard features an expanded paver patio and added stairs for easy access from deck to yard. Located in highly desirable Chapel Cove, residents enjoy resort-style amenities including a clubhouse, pool, pickleball and tennis courts, sport court, playground, walking trails, fitness center, and paddlesport launch area — plus convenient access to Lake Wylie with nearby dry and wet dock storage, all while maintaining an easy commute to Uptown Charlotte. Homes rarely offer this level of finished space, flexibility, and amenities — creating a unique opportunity for buyers who want room to live, entertain, and relax without compromise.
