Tucked into one of Mcadenville Village's most desirable streets, 612 Academy Street is a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom craftsman-style home that delivers something genuinely hard to find this close to Charlotte: privacy. The home backs to mature trees and a small creek, with direct access to the community greenway trail right out the back gate. If you've been looking for a McAdenville home that feels tucked away but still puts you 20 minutes from Uptown Charlotte, this is the one.
From the curb, the home leans into classic craftsman details, stacked stone accents, a covered front porch, and shake siding that gives it real character. Step inside and the main level opens up with hardwood floors, custom wainscoting, an arched foyer, and a formal dining room finished with a tray ceiling.
The kitchen is the heart of the floor plan: white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, and an oversized island that flows straight into the breakfast nook and family room. There's a gas log fireplace, a wet bar, and the kind of open layout that actually works for both quiet weeknights and big holiday gatherings.
Upstairs, all four bedrooms have walk-in closets, yes, all four, and the spacious owner's suite includes a garden tub and the space to actually unwind. It's the kind of layout move-up buyers stop second-guessing the minute they walk through it.
The outdoor living at 612 Academy is what sets this McAdenville home apart from almost anything else in this price range. An elevated deck with a covered gazebo overlooks a fully fenced, tree-lined yard, with a separate concrete patio below for additional outdoor living space. A storage shed handles tools, bikes, and seasonal gear. With the creek and woods behind you and the McAdenville greenway trail right at your back door, the vibe is more "private retreat" than "subdivision."
