About this home

If you've been looking at homes in this price range, you've probably seen a lot of the same thing. Square boxes, gray and white everything-walls, tile, carpet-and houses that all seem to look alike. 221 S Potter Road offers something different. Vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, a spacious kitchen, and bedrooms that actually have room for more than just a bed. You get 1,747 square feet of usable living space, all on one level, with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. And then there's the land. Something that's almost impossible to find in this price range. Just over half an acre, with a gently sloping front yard and a large, flat backyard. Not a tiny patch of grass with another house just a few feet away. There's room to actually use your yard, whether that's gardening, playing outside, or enjoying an afternoon on the deck. Mature trees, a storage shed, and no HOA add even more flexibility. Inside, the living room has plenty of natural light and enough space for your furniture without having to figure out how to squeeze everything in. The kitchen offers lots of cabinet and counter space, along with a walk-in pantry. There's a separate laundry room with additional cabinets and storage, and the primary suite includes its own bathroom with a soaking tub and separate shower. You get a home that doesn't look like every other house on the market, without having to "bring a hammer and a dream." The entire interior has been freshly painted, including walls, ceilings, doors, trim, and closets. The HVAC was replaced in January 2026, and new gutters and a crawl-space vapor barrier have also been installed. It's a home you can move right into and enjoy from day one. And while you get all that extra space, you're not far from the places you want to go. Downtown Lancaster is less than 10 minutes away, and downtown Waxhaw is approximately 20 minutes away, with restaurants, shops, and local events to enjoy. And here's another benefit worth knowing about: the home is in a USDA-eligible area, which means qualified buyers may be able to purchase with no down payment. More house, more land, and potentially less money needed upfront to make it yours. At $269,900, finding this much indoor space, a half-acre lot, and a home that's ready to move into? Trust me, that combination is rare, to say the least. And that's exactly why 221 S Potter Road is worth seeing in person.
