Get Your Weekends Back: Two Low-Upkeep Homes From The Zahn Group
Fall weekends go fast, and nobody wants to spend them on gutters and lawn care. As South Charlotte Realtors, The Zahn Group picked two of our listings this week where much of the upkeep is already handled, from recent big-ticket replacements to landscaping you never have to touch.
12433 Bobhouse Drive, Charlotte (Auburn Place)
$525,000 · 3 beds · 2 baths · 1,727 sq ft
This Ballantyne-area ranch was renovated in 2020, and the roof and HVAC were replaced that same year. Light engineered hardwood runs throughout the home, so there is no carpet to steam and no mixed floors to keep up with.
Outside, the HOA maintains the front landscaping, and an irrigation system handles watering. Start your Saturday on the enclosed Eze-Breeze porch with coffee instead of a mower, looking out over a level, fully fenced backyard. Blakeney's shops and restaurants are a few minutes away.
155 Shepherds Landing Drive, Mooresville (Shepherds Landing)
$345,000 · 3 beds · 2.5 baths · 1,584 sq ft
Built with energy-efficient features, this Mooresville home is designed for comfort and potential utility savings. The refrigerator, washer, and dryer all convey, so you won't need to shop for appliances on your first weekend, and the garage is set up to accommodate an EV charger.
The kitchen has 42-inch white cabinetry, a large island, a gas range, and a spacious pantry, and it opens to the back patio. When you want a change of scene, the community's resort-style pool and cabana handle the upkeep for you, with the Lake Norman area close by.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a low-maintenance home usually mean in the Charlotte area?
It usually means newer or recently replaced major systems, durable flooring, and little yard work. Look for roof and HVAC ages, who maintains the landscaping, and whether appliances convey.
Does an HOA that maintains front landscaping cost more?
It is built into the HOA dues rather than a separate bill. Ask for the current dues and exactly what they cover before you compare homes.
Why do roof and HVAC ages matter when buying?
They are two of the largest replacement costs in a home. Recent replacements can mean fewer big expenses in your first years of ownership.
Can The Zahn Group send me homes like these as they list?
Yes. Tell us your price range and areas, and we will send new listings that fit your search.
