Property Overview
8619 Cedar Knoll Drive, Marvin (Waxhaw), NC
Tucked away on 5.11 private acres along a secluded, private road within Providence Estates, this extraordinary custom brick estate offers a rare combination of craftsmanship, privacy, creativity, and recreation. Originally completed in 1992 by Dennis Totaro of Better Builders, a respected builder known for projects throughout Piper Glen, Providence Country Club, and Walden Pond, the home showcases exceptional quality and timeless design. It is surrounded by nature at its finest. Built using many of the region's finest tradesmen, the residence features custom stained cherry cabinetry crafted by Better Builders' own cabinet shop, extensive built-in library shelving, matching solid wood doors and trim, Pennsylvania limestone window keystones, hardwood floors throughout the main level, and soaring ceilings that rise from 9 feet to over 20 feet in the dramatic open living area. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home includes a breakfast nook with a view, full walk-in pantry/scullery with sink, window filled office space, separate upstairs guest wing, multiple studio spaces, and five bedrooms with four-and-a-half baths. The all brick screened porch is stunning and ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. Originally constructed as a 2,700-square-foot home, the residence was expanded in 1997 by the original builder to approximately 4,700 square feet of heated living space, including an attached rear workshop. Over the years, the property continued to evolve with the addition of a screened brick porch, private deck off the primary suite, detached workshop and recreational barn, full sport and tennis court, and extensive outdoor living spaces highlighted by massive natural boulders, water features, and a flowing 150-foot creek system that feeds a private fishing pond.
