8611 Kerns Meadow Lane, Huntersville, North Carolina, 28078

Privacy, craftsmanship, and room to breathe: this custom ranch in the gated Kerns Meadow community delivers all three. Only 12 homes share the gate, and this Stephen Fuller-built residence sits on nearly three-quarters of an acre of mature trees. Inside, vaulted ceilings and Palladian windows fill the great room with daylight, while natural oak hardwoods run through the main living areas. Custom millwork and trim detail appear throughout, the kind of finish work you see when a home is built with care rather than to a checklist. The primary suite is a true getaway, with a Bain Ultra air-jetted soaking tub that includes heated lumbar support and chromotherapy lighting. The kitchen offers two places to dine, a bright breakfast nook for everyday meals and a separate breakfast room for gatherings. Upstairs, a framed-out bedroom with its own closet and full bath is ready to finish as a guest suite, office, or bonus space, on your schedule and to your taste. Outdoor living is a highlight. A full-length front porch invites rocking chairs and slow evenings, and a spacious back deck overlooks a fully fenced, tree-lined yard that feels far removed from city life. Yet you are only minutes from I-485 and I-77, with an easy drive to Uptown, South End, and the rest of Charlotte. The shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences of Huntersville are close by, so you get quiet at home and convenience nearby.
