THE SELLER SAYS: The Things We have Enjoyed Most About Living at 2609 Labelle Drive Are:
The neighbors are the best neighbors we’ve ever had.
The natural setting of our neighborhood. Houston Ridge is so unique because so many of the beautiful oak trees and dog woods were left. It feels like the neighborhood has been here for years.
We love the cul-de-sac lot. There is very little traffic and children can play without worrying about traffic or strangers.
We Enjoyed This Particular Floor plan Because:
Our first floor feels like a tree house. The views out of the rear facing windows are priceless!
The third floor has been great for guests. It gives our guests a feeling of staying in a 5 star hotel.
The ½ car bump out on the 3 1/2 car garage is great for extra room.
Some Things You May Want to Know Are:
Get ready to enjoy a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful, natural setting. You’ll see deer, hear owls, enjoy fireflies, and be able to see the Milky Way.
Celebrate Earth Day in Robbins Park, Cornelius, this Saturday, April 26th, at 9:00 am. Some activities include clearing a walking trail, building a butterfly garden, and a town-wide clean-up. The butterfly garden will be built near the tennis courts and the town of Cornelius would love volunteers!
Residents are also encouraged to clean-up their roads and neighboring roads from 1:00 – 3:00 pm on Saturday as part of ‘Keep Cornelius Clean.’ Encourage your neighbors to join you – the weekend will be beautiful. If you are unable to attend any of these celebrations, think of ways you can help reduce, reuse, recycle, and conserve. Any work towards conservation helps!
A few ways families can celebrate Earth Day at home are: - growing vegetables/herbs in a garden - having rain barrels to water your yard or garden - compost - recycle - use natural cleaning products - maximize trips using your car or consider walking - using cloth cleaning wipes instead of paper towels - unplugging appliances when not in use - turn lights off when not in the room - support local agriculture by shopping at farmer’s markets, participating in CSAs - solar power - carpool - use re-usable packaging - plant trees

THE SELLER SAYS: The Things We have Enjoyed Most About Living at 8139 Townley Road Are: Going for walks, runs, bike rides in the neighborhood and on the greenway– with miles of sidewalks and connecting neighborhoods, it’s great for marathon training! Walking to dinner, movies and shopping…don’t have to worry about parking or driving after a night out! Pool and tennis courts Always felt safe– really important to me when I was a single person! Socializing with others in the neighborhood– very active neighborhood, from playing cornhole on the sidewalks, to having a glass of wine on the front porch, to more formal community events– there is always something to do! It’s a great central location and close to everything– Lake Norman, Uptown Charlotte, Airport, I-77, Northlake Mall and Concord Mills! We Enjoyed This Particular Home Because: It’s open– great for entertaining! We renovated the home with upgrades like granite countertops, hardwoods, tile and kitchen backsplash and new light fixtures. It was really fun to turn a basic house into a home with these custom features! A bathroom on each floor– really nice when we have friends visit. We liked the master bedroom being upstairs– again really nice for our guests to have their own space!
The SELLER SAYS: "Building this home was great fun.
Sourcing all the antique architectural components we incorporated was a
true adventure! Especially the floors which came out of a pre-1900s era
school house ceiling, near the Pee Dee River in South Carolina. The
front doors, the columns and the fireplace…they each have their story. We’ve often felt like we are living in
a mountain lodge here. The views of the changing sky and the evolving
nuances of color on the tree trunks, branches and leaves of the woods as
the seasons change is exquisite. And from the oversized arched window
upstairs in the bonus room/bedroom suite, you have a front row seat of
the Perseid meteor showers in August. Everything becomes so tranquil before
sunset in Hudson Place. And the rear deck is the ideal place to watch
the sunset and relax as dusk settles in and the sounds of owls beginning
their evening activities along the greenway begin. If you love song
birds, this home is utopia. Just sitting at the breakfast table or
working at the kitchen sink, look out the windows and you can literally
watch a dozen varieties of birds on average each day. Finches, tufted
tit-mice, cardinals, chickadees, redheaded woodpeckers and blue birds
are regulars. Hawks also frequently land on the branches of trees in the
back yard. And in summer, the humming birds are plentiful and very
entertaining. This home was ideal for our son and
daughter. Having a bedroom suite in the walkout basement gave our son
and his rambunctious friends plenty of space to “be boys”, while our
daughter preferred an upstairs bedroom and throwing slumber parties in
the guest room suite (now our bonus room). So it was always “girls dorm”
up and “guys locker room” down at our house, with everyone gathering in
the kitchen for frequent buffet style meals! Hudson Place has evolved into a nice
balance of young and families among the empty nesters. Halloween has
become a lively event now and the night Santa drives through the
neighborhood on his annual “fire truck ride” is the best of all! Adults
and children alike get butterflies in their stomachs when they hear the
siren and “Ho, Ho, Ho” on the megaphone as the truck approaches. The
young kids just squeal with joy as they run to the curb to wave to
Santa. That night NEVER gets old! Kids growing up in Hudson Place have a
great situation. When very young, the stretch of sidewalk to the end of
the cul-de-sac is provides adventure and protection for them. Yet, by
the time they reach 5th grade, they are walking, biking and
skate boarding to Main Street Davidson for ice cream or to kick a soccer
ball on the green with friends. When the days are colder and shorter,
there’s usually a crew of boys playing tag football at the entrance to
the greenway just two doors down. And weekends are a wonderful time for
the whole family to stroll or bike down the greenway, At 1216 Hudson Place, life is good!"
