Welcome to one of Charlotte's most desirable communities! Burning Tree is a hard-to-find combination of a gated neighborhood with a pool, but also walkable to grocery, shops, and restaurants! Colony Place across the street is such a gem, and the convenience of popping across the street to grab dinner, or pick up a few groceries without needing your car can not be overstated! Community features include a central "square" gathering area, plus smaller pocket parks, the pool, and of course, a security gate with updated technology for ease in giving access to deliveries and visitors. Many of the homes overlook the Carmel Country Club golf course. This home is both an end unit AND has a gorgeous position backing up to a shady common area with trees, grass, and shrubs. This site offers exceptional privacy, plus a nice area for getting your dog outside while still in your bathrobe! A brick walled courtyard patio also offers incredible privacy for container gardening, entertaining, and grilling & dining al fresco. You will find this to be one the quietest parts of the community, as it is far from the two entrance gates. Inside you will find what Burning Tree is known for - quality brick construction with high ceilings, generous room sizes, and a variety of floor plans! Sellers have just changed the flooring throughout the first floor, added fresh paint, and have installed a new powder room vanity. Earlier updates in the kitchen include white painted cabinets, quartz countertops, and white tile backsplash. We love that there are front and back living spaces - you can choose how to furnish and use these spaces to meet your needs. Every room has architectural interest, and good natural light, so whether you prefer casual living or formal, these are beautiful spaces. Along the back of the home, you have ultimate flexibility - either end can hold seating, and either end can hold a breakfast table. The choice is yours! Upstairs are three bedrooms plus a bonus room with double doors into the hallway. There is another large walk-in space that is "flex space." Some in the community use this as a home office, others use it for a peloton, and some have converted it to closet space that is attached to the bonus room, making it function as a fourth bedroom. The primary also has an updated vanity and counters, plus two sinks and separate closets! This community has a website with all documents accessible to the public. www.burningtreeoncolony.com for all HOA documents.
