Welcome to 7055 Crossridge Road, a beautifully renovated all-brick home in Forest Pawtuckett, a long-established neighborhood known for large lots, mature trees, and no HOA. Built in 1972 and offering approximately 2,030 square feet, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has been thoughtfully renovated and lovingly maintained by the current owners over the past nine years. This is not a cosmetic flip, but a true labor of love with extensive improvements made throughout the home. The exterior combines the timeless character of an all-brick home with a modern farmhouse aesthetic, highlighted by a distinctive German Schmear finish and custom cedar shutters. Inside, the heart of the home is a beautifully renovated chef's kitchen featuring timeless shaker cabinetry, Quartz countertops, and high-end appliances. Two separate living areas provide flexibility for entertaining, relaxing, or creating dedicated spaces for everyday living. Crown molding throughout, modern LVP flooring, and a ventless gas fireplace heater add warmth and character while maintaining a clean, contemporary feel. Extensive improvements have been made to both the home's major systems and interior finishes. Major 2017 updates included the kitchen and high-end appliances, architectural shingle roof, furnace and A/C, water heater, windows, interior and exterior doors, flooring, and built-in outdoor gas grill. In 2018 the dated gas fireplace logs that required venting were removed and replaced with a modern ventless gas heater that provides both warmth and ambiance to the home. In 2020, plumbing beneath the home and to the street was replaced. Most recently, in 2026, crawlspace drop girders were replaced, two new piers added followed by professional crawlspace improvements including a high-end vapor barrier and new insulation between the floor joists. Smart-home features include a programmable thermostat, smart doorbell, security system with three cameras, and a bathroom exhaust fan with a built-in Bluetooth speaker. The fenced backyard provides space to relax, entertain, exercise, and enjoy the outdoors, with a rear deck and dedicated outdoor exercise/swing area. The home's location offers convenient access to I-485 and I-85, Uptown Charlotte, Charlotte Douglas International Airport, and the U.S. National Whitewater Center. A neighborhood park is located at the end of the street, while an entrance to the Paw Creek Greenway is approximately 0.6 miles away.

Freshly painted and professionally cleaned, 7055 Crossridge Road is truly move-in ready. A large tree was recently removed from the front yard, the stump was ground, and both the front and back yards have been overseeded and fertilized, with new grass currently establishing. A well-maintained all-brick home with extensive updates, thoughtful modern touches, established outdoor space, and a convenient Charlotte location, 7055 Crossridge Road offers the character of an established neighborhood with the benefits of a thoroughly updated home. The owner of this home is a licensed real estate broker and listing agent.
