A Smart Buy in Cotswold: Why 1121 Wendover Road Might Be the Best Deal in Charlotte Luxury Real Estate

By Maureen MahoodBuying, Charlotte Real Estate November 21, 2025

Are you tired of scrolling through million-dollar listings in Charlotte and thinking, “Sure, it looks nice… but is it really worth it?”

Let’s be honest — in this market, not every “luxury” home justifies the price tag.
But every now and then, one pops up that looks good and is priced way below its comps.

That’s exactly what’s happening at 1121 Wendover Road — a Cotswold gem that’s sitting in a prime location, fully updated, and quietly offering serious value.

I’m Maureen Mahood, Broker/Owner of Sell Your Home Charlotte, and this is one of those listings that smart buyers should be looking at right now.

Let’s break it down.

1121 Wendover Road, Charlotte NC

Price: $1,100,000
Beds/Baths: 4 Bedrooms / 3.5 Bathrooms
Size: 4,100+ Square Feet
Lot: Nearly Half an Acre
Neighborhood: Cotswold

Quick Summary

This home checks every box — location, layout, outdoor living, and condition — but here’s what really stands out:

It’s priced at $263 per square foot, in a neighborhood where nearby sales are closing between $422 and $529 per square foot.

That’s nearly half the price of comparable Cotswold homes.

For a luxury buyer who values both lifestyle and long-term value, that’s an opportunity.

The Home: Modern Comfort Meets Classic Cotswold Charm

Main Level

You’ve got four bedrooms — all on the main floor — including one that doubles beautifully as a home office with French doors.

The kitchen is bright and open with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a vaulted layout that feels modern and livable.

Natural light pours through every space, and the open concept makes this house feel even larger than its already generous footprint.

Upstairs Bonus

The upstairs bonus room features a full bath, perfect for a guest suite, media room, or home gym.

That kind of flexibility is rare in Cotswold — especially in homes that are already this move-in ready.

Backyard + Outdoor Space

Here’s where this home really wins:

Heated saltwater pool
Hardscaping and fire pit
Freshly planted privacy trees
Flat, usable yard — a huge plus in Cotswold
Detached 2-car garage with an unfinished, wired, and plumbed upper level (perfect for an ADU, office, or guest suite)

This is the kind of outdoor setup that gives you true privacy and functionality — a space that lives like a resort but feels like home.

The Location: Prime Wendover Placement

Now, yes — it’s on Wendover Road, but don’t scroll past it just yet.

This home sits three houses in from Randolph, meaning you’re set back from the traffic and noise.

You also get a horseshoe driveway, which gives you easy in-and-out access — something you almost never find on Wendover.

So you get the convenience of the location without the downside.

The Price Story — And Why It Matters

Here’s where it gets interesting.

The seller bought this home in early 2021 for $710,000 — and it was already renovated at that time.

They initially listed it earlier this year for $1.269M, dropped the price twice, and then withdrew the listing after 68 days on market.

Now it’s back — and priced at $1.1M.

That’s a $170,000 drop from the original list price, and it’s sitting well below other Cotswold comps that have recently sold for $1.5M to $1.7M.

Translation: You’re walking into a fully updated, pool-equipped home on a premium lot for hundreds of thousands below neighborhood average.

That’s not just a price cut — that’s negotiation power.

The Comps Snapshot

Address	Sold Price	$/Sq. Ft.	Notes
Nearby Cotswold Sale A	$1,585,000	$422	Smaller lot
Nearby Cotswold Sale B	$1,725,000	$529	No pool
1121 Wendover Road (Active)	$1,100,000	$263	Pool, half-acre lot, fully updated

That gap is where a sharp buyer can win big — walking into a home with equity on day one.

The Play: Strategy and Opportunity

If you’re looking in the $1M+ range, this is the kind of home where strategy beats speed.

The seller has already shown flexibility with multiple price reductions.
Days on market = leverage.
You’re not competing in a frenzy — you’re negotiating with data.

As your agent, I’d start with a strong pre-approval, a clean offer structure, and comps in hand to support value.

It’s a professional approach that makes a motivated seller take you seriously.
