Perfectly positioned on 1.45 park-like acres overlooking Pellyn Wood Pond and Creek, 5023 Gorham Drive offers a rare combination of expansive acreage privacy, masterful craftsmanship, and a pristine, fully turn-key condition that stands as a true market anomaly in one of SouthPark's most established estate neighborhoods. Comprehensively modernized in 2021, the residence was thoughtfully reimagined from the inside out with an emphasis on quality, livability, and long-term ease of ownership. Major updates included a new roof, fully replaced HVAC systems and ductwork, updated electrical and plumbing infrastructure, premium flooring, designer lighting, luxury baths, and a reworked floor plan designed to better connect the home to its natural surroundings. Expansive walls of glass, custom architectural windows, and barrel-vaulted ceilings frame serene views across the pond, creek, and wooded grounds, creating an exceptional sense of privacy just minutes from Charlotte's SouthPark corridor. The main level features a chef's kitchen with a leathered Dolomite island, 48-inch Dacor gas range, and butler's pantry, opening naturally to the home's primary living and entertaining spaces. The main-level primary wing, added in 2021, serves as a private retreat with panoramic water views, flexible office or sitting space, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a custom copper soaking tub and waterfall shower. Indoor-outdoor living continues to the landscaped grounds, where custom lighting, a covered outdoor lodge, fireplace, and built-in barbecue create a true four-season entertaining environment. Beyond the main residence, a rare four-car garage footprint includes a newly constructed, climate-controlled 840-square-foot detached building with 8-foot doors, deep bays, and finished epoxy floors. This highly versatile space is ideal for a car collection, private fitness studio, workshop, creative studio, or elevated storage. With its extensive 2021 renovation, major mechanical improvements, main-level living, and rare acreage setting, 5023 Gorham Drive delivers an effortless, low-maintenance modern estate lifestyle without sacrificing the privacy, character, and natural beauty that make Pellyn Wood so distinctive.
