Beautifully updated Birkdale home offering timeless style, functional living, and an inviting backyard retreat, all just minutes from Birkdale Village's shops, dining, and entertainment. With 4 bedrooms plus a bonus room, this home combines thoughtful updates, flexible space, and a location that puts the best of Lake Norman living close at hand. The redesigned kitchen is the centerpiece of the home, featuring custom cabinetry, built-in wall pantries, a large island, gas range, pot-filler, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, marble backsplash, tile flooring, and a butler's pantry with mini fridge and additional pantry storage. The kitchen opens to the living room, where a custom fireplace with quartzite surround creates a warm and welcoming gathering space. The main level also includes a dedicated office, formal dining room, and a spacious laundry room with cabinetry. Just beyond, the oversized 500+ square foot garage offers a utility sink and abundant built-in storage. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned together, along with a large bonus room with a closet that can easily serve as a fifth bedroom. Walk-in attic storage provides even more practical space. Outdoor living is just as appealing, with a screened porch overlooking the private, landscaped backyard. Enjoy a large deck, paver patio, fenced yard, mature shade trees, and perennial plantings that return year after year.
