Porch Season: Two Charlotte Homes Made for Evenings Outside

Fall in Charlotte is porch weather, and this week The Zahn Group has two listings built for it: one with a wraparound front porch and one with an enclosed back porch over a fenced yard. Here is what makes each one worth a look, from the Charlotte real estate agents who listed them.

2122 Buckleigh Drive, Charlotte (Buckleigh)

$305,000 · 3 beds · 2 baths · 1,363 sq ft

Start at the front: a wide, country-style wraparound porch with stacked stone detailing, built for rocking chairs, morning coffee, and waving to neighbors as the evenings cool.

Out back, a large, level yard already has a privacy fence, so you can start cookouts, pets, and garden beds the day you move in. Inside, everything is on one level, with vaulted ceilings, fresh paint, new carpet, and a 2024 roof. No city taxes, with easy access to Harrisburg, UNC Charlotte, and I-485.

$515,000 · 3 beds · 2 baths · 1,727 sq ft

This Ballantyne ranch has an enclosed Eze-Breeze porch that looks over a level, fully fenced backyard, so cool November nights and spring pollen season are both easy to enjoy from the same chair.

Renovated in 2020 with a new roof and HVAC, it features light engineered hardwoods, a gas-range kitchen open to the great room's gas fireplace, and a primary suite with a soaking tub and tiled shower. HOA-maintained front landscaping and irrigation keep upkeep low. Blakeney is minutes away, and Waverly is under 10 minutes away. Now $10,000 lower after an October 21 price improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Zahn Group listings have outdoor living space right now?

Both active homes this week do: 2122 Buckleigh Drive has a wraparound front porch and a privacy-fenced level yard, and 12433 Bobhouse Drive has an enclosed Eze-Breeze porch over a fully fenced backyard.

What is an Eze-Breeze porch?

It is a porch enclosure with vinyl window panels that slide open or closed, so the space stays usable in cooler weather and keeps out pollen and bugs.

Does 2122 Buckleigh Drive pay City of Charlotte taxes?

No. The listing has no city taxes, which can lower the yearly tax bill compared with a home inside city limits.

How close is 12433 Bobhouse Drive to shopping?

Blakeney's shops and restaurants are a few minutes away, and Waverly is under 10 minutes away.
