Welcome to 1421 Old Hwy 74 in Marshville, a wonderful 5-acre retreat that combines the modern updates today's buyers expect with the peace, privacy, and space that's increasingly hard to find. Located just 30–35 minutes from South Charlotte, including Waverly, Rea Farms, and Blakeney; 20 minutes to Matthews or Stallings; or 5 minutes to the Bypass or Wingate. This property offers the best of both worlds—the convenience of city amenities without the congestion, noise, or close neighbors. With 3,600+ square feet, this beautifully renovated home blends timeless charm with thoughtful modern design. Step into the heart of the home, where the fully renovated chef's kitchen takes center stage. Complete with a large island, breakfast bar, wall oven, and stylish finishes, it's perfectly designed for both everyday living and entertaining. There are spacious living areas, while a cozy fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for relaxing evenings at home. The main level features three bedrooms, including a spacious and beautifully updated primary suite. The open-concept layout offers a large kitchen, breakfast area, and family room, along with an additional flex space that would make an ideal den, home office, media room, or bar area. A generously sized mudroom and laundry room provide both functionality and convenience. Upstairs, you'll find two expansive bonus rooms and a half bathroom, offering endless possibilities for guest accommodations, a home gym, playroom, office space, or additional bedrooms. Outside, the property's five acres create a private oasis with room to roam, garden, keep animals, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee overlooking the acreage, creating your own hobby farm, or unwinding after a busy day, this property offers a lifestyle rarely found within such easy reach of Charlotte. Experience the freedom of country living, the comfort of a fully updated home, and the privacy you've been searching for—all just a short drive from South Charlotte's shopping, dining, and entertainment.
