Rare find. Country living in the very heart of Cornelius. 2-story+bsmt. Nearly an acre of land with small creek. Back yard gate opens directly onto a beautiful paved greenway that goes for miles -- peddle or walk the greenway to Birkdale, parks, schools, and the arts. Home is walkable/bikeable to shopping, restaurants, gyms, and recreation. Excellent schools, some reachable via the greenway. Just a hop away is Lake Norman with 500 miles of shoreline. Rent boats, jet skis, paddle boards, kayaks. Waterfront dining nearby. Picnic and stroll along the lakeshore in nearby Jetton Park or swim and walk at Ramsey Creek Park. Magnolia Estates is an established neighborhood with large lots and towering hardwood trees. Note the two outbuildings, one which is perfect to keep chickens. The back two-thirds of rear yard has been cultivated as a natural habitat for wildlife, but there's still plenty of green lawn for play equipment. Welcome home to the best of both worlds! Home Warranty in place.
