This elegant residence that would be right at home in the English countryside is located within the upscale Teeter Farms Estates neighborhood outside of Mooresville, North Carolina. A 30-minute drive north of Charlotte, Mooresville is a bustling, family-oriented town with a population of 50,000 people and a Southern-style, laid-back atmosphere.

One room in the spacious home is set up for entertaining, complete with a custom bar and wine storage facilities. Charlotte Virtual Home Tours/Premier Sotheby’s International Realty

One of the largest homes in the community, this two-story, 7,571-square-foot stone-and-brick home has five bedrooms and 6 1/2 bathrooms and is a traditionally styled residence well suited to a large family. The large, manicured 3.3-acre lot bordered by mature trees provides plenty of room to play touch football on the sprawling lawn, as well as ensuring a sense of privacy for the occupants. A winding driveway leads to the home, where a fountain burbles alongside the path leading to the double-entry doors tastefully accented with wrought iron.

The family room features a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in natural light while providing a great view of the surroundings. Charlotte Virtual Home Tours/Premier Sotheby’s International Realty

Inside, the living room features a fireplace, built-in bookshelves, decorative pillars, marble flooring, a very attractive chandelier, and extensive crown moldings. Opposite, a seating area backs up to the kitchen, which is equipped with stainless steel appliances, custom cabinets, and an expansive island/breakfast bar, with an adjacent dining area set into a cozy alcove.

The oversized first-level master bedroom has large windows and glass doors for a clear view of the surroundings, and a cavernous walk-in closet complete with shoe and apparel organizers and even a couch. The master bathroom is equipped with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a fieldstone-lined walk-in shower.

At the rear of the home is a screened porch equipped with a fireplace and a sauna, with an outdoor patio beyond, where an outdoor kitchen is sheltered by a gazebo.
