1101 Lightwood Drive, Matthews, NC 28105

Welcome home to 1101 Lightwood Drive, Wood Hollow's hidden gem! This beautifully-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath brick ranch sits on a level, fenced almost half-acre lot and offers the space, privacy, and move-in-ready condition today's buyers are looking for.

A charming covered front porch welcomes you into a bright foyer, setting the tone for a home that has been lovingly cared for through the years. The heart of the home is the show-stopping kitchen renovation ('25-'26), featuring new lighting, a custom vertical tile backsplash and custom white KraftMaid soft-close cabinetry loaded with thoughtful sto

rage including wooden pull-out drawers, modern lazy susans, wooden stacked utensil slider drawers, and dedicated spice and cookie tray cabinets. A large island with breakfast bar seating and quartz countertops completes this dream kitchen. Pocket doors help with the flow from the kitchen into a formal dining room and a cozy family room, where a brick gas fireplace has been freshly painted for an updated feel.

Just off the kitchen, a convenient laundry/mudroom with side-door entry from the driveway adds everyday practicality, perfect for dropping bags and shoes before heading inside. Major systems and big-ticket updates have already been taken care of: Renewal by Andersen windows (2019), all-new PEX plumbing and city water hook-up added (2025), HVAC (2020), a Trex deck (2019), and updated aluminum pull-down attic stairs.

A spacious primary retreat boasts a walk-in closet and an en-suite bath. Both bathrooms have been refreshed, with the primary bath's shower redone in 2024, along with new countertops, lighting, and mirrors. Step outside to enjoy the Trex deck overlooking a level, fenced backyard, complete with a newer storage shed, making it perfect for entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing.

Ideally located near shopping, dining, and parks in Matthews and Mint Hill, with easy access to major Charlotte-area routes, this home offers the perfect blend of updated comfort and unbeatable convenience!
