Description

Welcome to Forest Lawn Estate, Weddington's unicorn. A 2024 custom build by Cardinal Home Builders with 4,523 square feet all on one level, set on 2.15 private wooded acres in Avalon, with no 14-month build wait. This full-brick home with board-and-batten gables, a stone entry, and double wood front doors offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths in a split-bedroom plan.

Inside, hardwood floors run through an open layout with 10-foot ceilings and a 20-foot ceiling in the living room, where a fireplace that burns gas or real wood is framed by built-ins. The gourmet kitchen pairs soft-close wood cabinetry and quartz counters with commercial-grade appliances, including a double oven range, warming drawer, microwave drawer, and side-by-side refrigerator, plus a prep sink with instant hot water and a huge island with seating. The large walk-in pantry holds a full-size standup freezer, and a walk-in coat closet and walk-in storage closet keep everyday life organized.

The nearly 32-foot primary suite features a spa-style bath with an L-shaped dual vanity, a frameless glass shower with marble-look tile, and a large walk-in closet. Beyond the bedrooms, the plan includes a media room, a gym, an office or nursery, and a sunroom, along with numerous walk-in closets with outlets. The laundry room has quartz counters, soft-close cabinets, a sink, and hookups for two washers and two dryers.

The five-car garage, nearly 2,000 square feet with a two-car tandem bay, has epoxy floors, a large drop zone with two closets, cabinetry and a laundry sink, hot and cold spigots, a half bath, and a second washer and dryer hookup. Stairs lead to 1,080 square feet of unfinished second-floor space ready to finish, plus a walk-up attic.

Built to last: spray foam insulation, sound-insulated interior walls, solid-core doors, large casement windows, 30-year architectural shingles, an encapsulated crawl space with dehumidifier, a tankless water heater, a whole-house natural gas generator, and a security system.

Out back, a wood privacy fence borders a fire pit patio, a built-in natural gas grill, and a half-court basketball area surrounded by mature hardwoods. And guys, this one is a slam dunk.
