1301 Manchester Lane

Beautifully updated brick ranch situated on a spacious 0.52-acre corner lot, offering an exceptional combination of flexible living space, thoughtful renovations and an expansive backyard designed for everyday enjoyment and entertaining. A gracious front lawn, mature shade trees and established landscaping create an inviting sense of privacy, while the broad, fully fenced rear yard opens to a large, level lawn with abundant room for pets, recreation, gardening or future outdoor enhancements. Inside, the bright and open main level is anchored by a beautifully renovated kitchen featuring an oversized center island, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant white cabinetry and generous breakfast-bar seating. Rich wood flooring, exposed wood beams, recessed lighting and updated fixtures add warmth and architectural character throughout the adjoining kitchen, dining and living areas. The spacious family room is highlighted by a fireplace with a white shiplap surround, built-in display shelving and large windows that fill the space with natural light while overlooking the front lawn. Generously sized bedrooms, updated bathrooms and a comfortable, functional layout complete the main level. The finished basement substantially expands the home’s versatility with a large recreation and media area, an additional bedroom, full bathroom, laundry space and flexible areas well suited for a home office, fitness room, playroom, hobby area or private guest accommodations. An attached basement garage, workshop area and additional storage provide valuable utility, while the oversized concrete driveway offers ample parking for residents and guests. Outdoor living is equally impressive. The expansive rear patio provides multiple areas for grilling, dining, lounging and entertaining, creating a natural extension of the interior gathering spaces. Beyond the patio, the wide, level backyard is enclosed by a privacy fence and framed by mature trees, offering a peaceful setting with exceptional space to enjoy. Located in East Charlotte near Albemarle Road and I-485, the property offers convenient access to surrounding shopping, dining, grocery stores, schools and everyday services, along with straightforward connections to Mint Hill, Matthews and other areas throughout the Charlotte region. The home has previously been marketed as being close to I-485 and Albemarle Road, and the property records confirm public water, public sewer and a location within the Manchester subdivision. With extensive indoor and outdoor living space, modern updates, flexible lower-level accommodations and a setting made for entertaining, this move-in-ready home delivers the space and functionality of a larger property while retaining the timeless appeal of a classic brick ranch.
