Charlotte Real Estate| Union County: Steal A Home in Anniston Grove

Make an Offer in Anniston, Custom Home, 3800 sf Listed for Under 500K

Union County is the fastest growing county in North Carolina, but still has that rural feel. Despite some signs of growing up- the Target at Wesley Chapel for one, Weddington and its neighbors Indian Trail, Wesley Chapel, and Waxhaw, are growing up and growing together. A staple has been the all brick custom new home community, and Anniston Grove, off of Waxhaw-Indian Trail Road is just such a neighborhood. Relatively larger lots- 1/3 acre and up, heavily wooded lots that provide privacy and a degree of separation not found on the “farm” lots (former farmer fields)favored by track builders, and all brick custom homes by many of Charlotte ’s better builders, create a community just too pretty to fail.

But Anniston has a timing problem, quite a problem in fact. Anniston Grove is a victim of this housing market. Begun in the latter part of 2005, roads and sewers went in and homes began sprouting out of the ground in late 2006. 2007 came, families moved in and more homes were started… and then the slowdown hit… The national bear housing market reached Charlotte 18 months after it started in Florida, and its wreaked havoc on Anniston Grove, with 21 homes for sale now, most never lived in. entrance to anniston grove indian trail nc

This home features a master on main, a side entry stairway to 3 bedrooms and a bonus upstairs, a sideload 3 car garage, all granite counters kitchens and all bath’s, cherry cabinets, 9′ ceilings up and down, stainless appliances, coffered great room, all on a .36 acre flat corner lot. And this builder never quite finished this home, so the bank took it over and at our suggestion went ahead and fixed the few issues that just weren’t working

Anniston Grove is on the edge of town, but in the middle of popular Union County– a few minutes from Indan Trail, about 10 minutes from the Siskey YMCA in Matthews, or 10 minutes to RT 16, AND with three different routes into town- via Monroe Rd, Weddington Road or Providence Road– makes Anniston Grove a sensible and serious community to day and in the future. Its central location will only improve with time.

Reflection Pointe- Lake Wylie’s Hidden Secret… and Future Precious Gem

July 13th, 2008 Categories: Charlotte New Home Developments-Builders, Lake Wylie

Reflection Pointe in Belmont sits high on a bluff, overlooking Lake Wylie, across from The Sanctuary–

with big water views and a gated sanctuary of its own with heavily wooded lots and rolling hills- Reflection Pointe has over 350 lots, nearly 150 on the water (a real Waterfront community on Lake Wylie) with some of the very best waterfront on Lake Wylie. Big channel views facing south, add a massive and gorgeous clubhouse, pool, lighted tennis course and miles of walking trails and you’ll begin to get the picture. But it doesn’t stop there. There is lake access for the entire community from the beach or marina, and with no time frame you are required to build, this is a community you can buy now, bring your boat, enjoy the lake and build later. Like everywhere, it is a buyers market, and there are deals to be had.

Reflection Point in Belmont is exactly 20 miles and 30 minutes (non-rush hour) from Bank of America building in Uptown Charlotte. Travel to Uptown Charlotte via I -85; this western side of the city has the widest Interstate entering Charlotte and is most likely the least traveled of any Charlotte Interstate, plus it has the convenient alternative Rt 74 running parallel for the bad days. It is just 10 minutes to historic Belmont. The trump card of the commute is the proposed 321-74 parkway, the proposed (advancing) Garden Parkway toll road that would connect just north of Reflection Pointe and take travelers directly- about 5 minutes or so to RT 485, placing high quality waterfront property just 20 minutes to Uptown… a precious gem indeed. High quality custom homes are available now- as are some great lots. More on that in my next post.

Here are a few pictures
