Kannapolis Land Rare ±5-acre infill opportunity along South Main Street in Kannapolis—positioned within an emerging growth corridor just minutes from downtown redevelopment, retail, and the NC Research Campus. The property is currently zoned R-4 and offers a compelling long-term investment profile for builders, developers, and 1031 exchange buyers seeking to secure future pipeline in a supply-constrained area. Adjacent residential uses, including nearby condos, support the potential for higher-density residential development (townhomes or similar), subject to rezoning. Public water and sewer are available; however, current municipal sewer allocation constraints are expected to limit near-term development. This dynamic creates a unique entry point to acquire well-located land at today’s basis ahead of anticipated infrastructure expansion. The site features approximately 5 acres with a natural topography that lends itself to a single-access residential layout. Conceptual planning suggests potential for a boutique subdivision or future attached product, depending on entitlement path. Ideal for: • Land banking / long-term hold strategies • 1031 exchange buyers • Developers building future inventory • Investors seeking appreciation tied to area growth Opportunities to acquire infill land along South Main with future development potential are increasingly limited. Buyers are encouraged to perform their own due diligence regarding zoning, utilities, and development feasibility.

Some homes feel right the moment you see them. This is one of those. New construction in the heart of Downtown Kannapolis, with a primary suite on the main floor, a kitchen built for real cooking, and a front porch with rocking chairs already calling your name. The timing is just as good as the house. THE LOCATION: Stand on the front porch and look around, Downtown Kannapolis is not a destination from here, it is your backyard. Atrium Health Ballpark, the brewery, dining, the Loop Greenway, and multiple parks are all right outside your door. A brand-new dog park is going in next door. And if the drone shots look like a neighborhood mid-transformation, that is because it is. The construction you see happening around these homes is the next wave of Downtown Kannapolis coming to life and this address gets you in before it all arrives. THE LIFESTYLE: The HOA at just $133/month covers lawn care and landscaping, which means your weekends are yours. No shared walls, no monthly rent receipt, no lawnmower taking up half the garage. Just a real home in a real neighborhood, with a mortgage payment that might make your current rent look embarrassing. THE HOME: The main floor opens up into a generous living and dining area with warm LVP flooring, crown molding, and a kitchen that means business; quartz countertops, a large island with seating, subway tile backsplash, soft-close cabinetry, and stainless appliances. The primary suite is on the main floor with a walk-in closet, double vanity, and a tiled walk-in shower. Everything you need without ever touching the stairs. THE SECOND FLOOR: Two well-sized bedrooms, a full bath, laundry, and at the top of the stairs a cozy loft nook, just the right size for a reading chair, a morning coffee spot, or a small home office setup that actually feels like a retreat rather than a corner of the bedroom. THE GARAGE: A massive basement-level garage with interior stair access, room for multiple vehicles, a home gym, a workshop, or whatever you have been putting off building because you never had the space. THE DEAL: Ask about our preferred lender offering 0% down, 0 PMI, and $10,000 in forgivable credits for qualified buyers!

PRICE IMPROVEMENT. Move-in ready, loaded with upgrades, and just a short walk to the brand-new Lowes Foods — this 2024-built townhome in sold-out Georgetown Crossing offers what new construction can't: a finished, established community, now priced below what comparable new builds nearby are asking. The main level is open where it counts. A kitchen with center island, walk-in pantry, and stainless appliances flows straight into the dining area and great room, with pre-finished wood floors throughout. A drop zone off the garage catches the daily shuffle, and a half bath rounds out the floor. Upstairs, the primary suite offers dual sinks and a walk-in closet, two additional bedrooms share a full bath, and the laundry is right where the laundry actually happens — no hauling baskets downstairs. In the garage: a professionally installed EV charger, already wired and ready. Whether you drive electric today or plan to, the infrastructure is done — a rare find at this price point. Built to ENERGY STAR certification standards with heat pump HVAC, fresh-air ventilation, and low-flow fixtures, this home is engineered for lower monthly utility bills — a measurable difference, not a marketing line. Owner-occupied only since October 2024, it still feels new because it essentially is. Georgetown Crossing is low-maintenance living done right: the HOA handles exterior upkeep for a low monthly fee — no yard work, no exterior repairs, weekends back. Walk to Lowes Foods and the retail growing around it, hop on I-85 for an easy Charlotte commute, and enjoy the full Kannapolis-Concord corridor of dining and entertainment minutes away. Kannapolis is a city investing in itself: $500M of development around the NC Research Campus, a new Novant Health hospital slated by 2030, Millstone Village underway with a Harris Teeter and 400+ new residences, and a downtown anchored by Atrium Health Ballpark. 3 bed | 2.5 bath | 1,393 sq ft | 2024 build | EV charger | ENERGY STAR.
