Welcome to The Villas at Ballantyne Trace, a beautifully maintained community offering elegant, low-maintenance living in one of South Charlotte's most desirable locations. This classic brick-front villa sits on a quiet corner lot surrounded by mature trees, lush landscaping, and timeless curb appeal. The home has been thoughtfully renovated, featuring fresh floor-to-ceiling interior paint, newly painted exterior and front door, and a gutter system replaced within the last two months. The roof is approximately two years old, providing added peace of mind. Enjoy truly low-maintenance living with HOA-managed landscaping, roofing, gutters, exterior paint and grass care, so there's no exterior upkeep required. Inside, a bright and welcoming foyer showcases wainscoting, crown molding, and a decorative leaded-glass entry door. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas-perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. The spacious living room offers high ceilings, a cozy gas fireplace, built-in cabinetry, and French doors that flood the space with natural light and open to a private courtyard. The formal dining area is enhanced with detailed millwork and an elegant chandelier, while the kitchen features rich wood cabinetry, granite-style countertops, tile backsplash, and a functional layout with a breakfast bar and eat-in nook overlooking the garden. The kitchen is equipped with a brand-new 4-burner, 5.1 cu. ft. stainless steel freestanding natural gas range, installed in November 2025 and never used. The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with vaulted ceilings and garden views. The en-suite bath includes a jetted soaking tub, tiled walk-in shower with grab bars, and a spacious vanity. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and a full bath provide flexibility for guests, family, or a home office. One bedroom is currently configured as a library with built-ins and skylights, while another features dual closets with pre-wiring for media or speaker use. Step outside to a private brick-walled courtyard-an inviting outdoor sanctuary with manicured landscaping, flowering plants, and climbing vines. A flagstone-style patio offers space to relax or entertain, complemented by a retractable electric awning for added comfort and shade. Additional features include a two-car garage with built-in storage, tiled main-level flooring, elegant trim details, and abundant natural light throughout. Residents enjoy convenient access to shopping, dining, medical facilities, and major commuter routes, along with highly regarded local schools. The HOA is financially strong and fully covers exterior maintenance-including the roof, gutters, exterior paint, irrigation system, irrigation water, and driveway-supporting a true lock-and-leave lifestyle. Notably, this home pays the same HOA dues as other units, despite being one of the larger residences in the community. HOA documents are available on MLS for agents to download. The association also maintains and insures the exterior components it is responsible for, meaning the homeowner typically only needs to carry insurance for the interior, if desired. No rentals permitted-a proactive measure designed to protect the community's condition and help control maintenance costs by minimizing excessive wear and tear on shared spaces. Refrigerator, washer, dryer, and the brand-new gas range all convey with the property.
