Some homes check boxes. This one rewrites the checklist entirely. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Concord's prestigious Hearthwood community, 5249 Kindling Place is the kind of home that stops you in the driveway and doesn't let go. Over 5,000 meticulously maintained square feet across three finished levels, a 3-car garage, and a daylight walk-out basement — all sitting on just over an acre of wooded privacy. Every level has been thoughtfully upgraded and is ready to impress. Step through the front door and look up — soaring cathedral ceilings crown the foyer and two-story great room, where a gas log fireplace commands the space with a presence you feel before you even sit down. The chef's kitchen is built to perform: gas cooktop, double wall ovens, a sprawling island, and premium appliances that make cooking feel less like a chore and more like an event. Hardwood floors, French doors, and insulated windows run throughout. A dedicated main-level office with floor-to-ceiling built-ins and a main-level bedroom with a built-in Murphy bed — perfect as a guest room or second office — round out a main floor that is as functional as it is beautiful. The primary suite isn't just a retreat — it's a lifestyle upgrade. Five closets, including two oversized walk-ins and three additional walk-ins, deliver a storage luxury virtually unmatched at any price point. A spa-caliber bath with soaking tub and a private sitting room complete a suite that genuinely competes with the finest this market has to offer. The upper level and fully finished walk-out basement offer the kind of flexibility most homes simply can't match. Media room, home gym, guest accommodations, game day headquarters — whatever your life looks like, there's room for it here. Outside, the rear deck has been completely transformed — structurally reinforced, professionally refinished, stained, painted, and weather-sealed to like-new condition. The surrounding landscaping has been freshened and manicured to match. This is not a deck you'll need to touch for years. It's one you'll want to show off from day one. Additional upgrades include: Well pump replaced in 2024 with brand new high-performance equipment All three HVAC systems professionally serviced and maintained annually Epoxy-coated garage floor Full-yard irrigation fed by a dedicated well Rocky River Elementary is half a mile away. Concord Mills, major interstate access, and the full Charlotte metro are all minutes from your door. The community features a pool, playground, and sidewalks throughout — perfect for those evening walks at dusk. Five bedrooms. Five closets in the primary alone. Over 5,000 square feet with a finished basement. One opportunity. Don't let someone else take the keys — book your showing now.
