1009 Honors Court Waxhaw, NC 28173

Set at the end of a wooded cul-de-sac within the Firethorne Country Club community, 1009 Honors Court is a 5-bedroom, 5-bath brick and stucco residence of 4,867 square feet, built in 2001 by AW Griffin Builders and meticulously maintained by its original owners ever since. A 4-car garage with a golf-cart bay, a walk-out basement, and a roof replaced in 2025 anchor the list of essentials. What the list cannot convey is how the house feels. It begins at the door. A two-story foyer rises to a curved gallery overhead, and the great room beyond it climbs to the same height, its wall of windows drawing in the woods and its gas-log fireplace framed by freshly painted built-ins. Hardwood floors run through the main level and carry you past formal living and dining rooms into the kitchen, where the recent work shows: a KitchenAid appliance suite with double ovens, a 48-inch gas cooktop with downdraft beneath a custom hood, and an extended island in white quartz set against white cabinetry. A main-floor bedroom and full bath complete the level. Upstairs, the primary suite opens to a bath with soaking tub beneath an arched window, and a library lined with built-in bookcases overlooks the great room from the gallery. Three more bedrooms, each with access to a full bath, and a walk-up attic round out the floor. The walk-out basement is the quiet surprise: a finished flex room and den with a second fireplace, a full bath, wine storage on the landing, and generous storage beside the golf-cart bay. Covered and open terraces look into a private wooded backyard with room for a pool; conceptual renderings are available. Irrigation on a private well and a whole-yard invisible fence are already in place, and Firethorne's golf, tennis, swimming, fitness, and trails are moments away, with an optional lifestyle membership through Country Club of the Carolinas. A home of real proportion, cared for by its original owners for 25 years and ready to begin its next chapter.
