Some homes are easy to describe. Others ask you to slow down and actually picture yourself there. Morning coffee on the patio, the sound of the pool in the background, the kind of quiet that only comes with a cul-de-sac lot. 912 Manorwood Drive is the second kind.
I'm proud to bring this stately Georgian Colonial in Waxhaw's Brookmeade neighborhood to market at $1,015,000. It goes Active on Thursday, October 1, and I'm hosting open houses on Saturday, October 3 and Sunday, October 4 from 1 to 3 PM both days. Full details, photos, and video are waiting for you at 912manorwood.com.
At 3,830 square feet, 912 Manorwood offers four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and a layout that gives you genuine flexibility. A dedicated study on the main floor sits adjacent to a full bathroom and works equally well as a guest room, a home office, or a quiet retreat. There is also a front den, which means this home effectively offers two distinct office or flex spaces. That kind of versatility is rare, and it is one of the things that makes this floor plan so livable.
Hardwood floors run throughout the main level and up the staircase. Custom plantation shutters dress every interior window. These are the details that reflect care and investment, not afterthought. The open floor plan keeps the main living areas connected without sacrificing the sense of distinct, purposeful rooms.

The 0.94-acre lot is fully fenced and anchored by an in-ground saltwater pool and spa. A storage shed and full landscaping with front yard irrigation round out a yard that has been thoughtfully maintained. The cul-de-sac location means minimal through traffic and a sense of privacy that is hard to find on a standard street.
The three-car garage with epoxy floors adds the kind of practical luxury that buyers notice immediately. Clean, finished, and ready for whatever you need it to be.
Waxhaw has a way of surprising people who discover it for the first time. The historic downtown is genuinely charming, with locally owned restaurants, boutique shops, a farmers market, and a community calendar that keeps things lively year-round. It is the kind of place where people put down roots and mean it.
For buyers relocating to the Charlotte area, Waxhaw offers something the closer-in suburbs cannot always match: a real small-town feel with easy access to everything the metro has to offer. Ballantyne is roughly 20 minutes north. Uptown Charlotte is 35 to 40 minutes depending on traffic.
Brookmeade itself is an established neighborhood with mature trees and the kind of settled, welcoming character that newer developments are still working toward. The HOA is a modest $580 per year.
912 Manorwood Drive goes Active on October 1. If you would like a private showing before the open house, I would be glad to arrange it. Reach out and we will find a time that works.
Open houses are Saturday, October 3 and Sunday, October 4, 1 to 3 PM.
