Welcome to 5009 Haven Lodge Road, where thoughtful design, abundant storage, and effortless indoor-outdoor living come together. The charming, deep covered front porch sets a warm tone before you step inside onto durable, low-maintenance wood-look tile floors that carry rich grain and natural warmth throughout the main level. At the center of the open-concept layout is a chef-inspired kitchen outfitted with granite countertops, an expansive prep island with statement pendant lighting, abundant cabinetry, and a custom farmhouse sink. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the breakfast nook and living room, anchored by a cozy corner fireplace. Tucked away on the main floor is a private bedroom featuring a built-in corner cabinet and clever hidden storage, served by a full bathroom with a tub/shower combination...ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or a dedicated home office. Additional smart spaces include a drop zone/desk area right off the two-car garage to keep daily clutter out of sight, plus a custom storage closet built into the under-stair nook. Upstairs, an open landing leads to five additional bedrooms, including the primary suite with a generous walk-in closet. Every secondary bedroom boasts its own walk-in closet, ensuring unmatched storage across the entire home, complemented by an upstairs full bath, dedicated linen closet and walk-in laundry room. Step outside to your private backyard oasis featuring a fully fenced lawn and an extended covered patio with a metal roof, architectural cup-style rain chains, and a custom hanging swing bed built for year-round relaxation. Enjoy the best of both worlds with peaceful neighborhood living, lower Union County property taxes, and access to top-rated schools...all just minutes from the vibrant shops, local dining, breweries, and greenways of historic Downtown Matthews, with seamless connectivity to both I-485 and the Monroe Expressway for an effortless commute into Uptown Charlotte.
