5249 Kindling Place

Sellers are offering up to $10,000 toward closing costs, prepaids, or a mortgage rate buydown with an acceptable offer. Homes like this one don't come along often in Concord. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Hearthwood on approximately one wooded acre, 5249 Kindling Place offers five bedrooms across three finished levels, including a fully finished daylight walk-out basement, something buyers rarely find in Cabarrus County. If you've been searching for more space, more privacy, and real room to grow for under $1 million in the Charlotte area, this is worth a look.

Step inside and the two-story great room sets the tone, with soaring cathedral ceilings and a gas fireplace. It's just as comfortable for hosting a crowd as it is for a quiet night in, with an open, welcoming feel that carries throughout. The main level also includes a private in-law or guest suite, which works well for visiting family, long-term guests, or multigenerational living, along with a dedicated home office for anyone who works from home. Dual staircases make it easy to move between floors without everyone crossing paths.

The kitchen is set up for both busy weeknights and a full house on the holidays. You'll find a gas cooktop, double wall ovens, an oversized island where everyone tends to gather, and generous cabinet and counter space, so there's room to cook, serve, and store without feeling crowded.

Upstairs you'll find additional bedrooms along with flexible space that can easily become a game room, study area, playroom, or second home office. The layout gives you options now and adapts as your needs change down the road. With each level serving its own purpose, the whole house lives comfortably, even when everyone is home at once.

Then there's the basement. With daylight windows and a walk-out to the backyard, the finished lower level feels like a true part of the home rather than an afterthought. Set it up as a media room, home gym, recreation space, hobby room, or a private area for extended family or guests. Whether you picture movie nights, an early workout before the day starts, or a comfortable setup for relatives who stay awhile, the lower level gives you the flexibility to make it your own. Having three finished levels of living space at this price point is hard to beat in Concord.

Out back, a large deck overlooks the wooded backyard and makes a great spot for morning coffee, dinner outside, or having friends over on the weekend. The surrounding trees give the yard a sense of seclusion you just won't get on a smaller lot. The deck was structurally reinforced, refinished, and weather-sealed in 2025, so it's ready to enjoy. Full-yard irrigation runs off a dedicated well, keeping the lawn green without running up the water bill, and the cul-de-sac location on about an acre means less traffic and a lot more breathing room than the typical subdivision lot.

The three-car garage has epoxy floors and space for vehicles, storage, and a workshop or hobby area. Epoxy holds up well and cleans easily, so the garage feels finished rather than just functional. The sellers have also stayed on top of the big-ticket items. The well pump was replaced in 2024, and all three HVAC systems have been professionally serviced every year, which gives buyers real peace of mind heading into closing

The location makes daily life easy. Rocky River Elementary is approximately half a mile away, and Concord Mills, with its shopping, dining, and entertainment, is just a short drive. Quick access to I-485 puts Uptown Charlotte, University City, and the rest of the greater Charlotte area within easy reach, yet the home still feels private and tucked away once you pull into the driveway
