Kensington at Ballantyne

Some homes just have a feeling to them the moment you turn onto the street —
and 8724 Suninghurst Lane is exactly that kind of home. Tucked into Kensington at Ballantyne, one of South Charlotte’s most established and sought-after custom-home communities, this one-owner residence has been meticulously maintained since it was built in 1996, and it shows in every corner.
With no rear neighbors, a private wooded backyard, and a location that puts you steps from Ballantyne’s best shopping, dining, and green space, this is the kind of listing that doesn’t come around often.

Built Right, Maintained Even Better
This is not a home that’s been coasting on its original systems. The seller has stayed ahead of every major update: a new roof in 2015, a Trane HVAC system installed in 2014 and professionally serviced twice a year by McClintock, 2021 gutters with LeafFilter, and a quiet new insulated garage door (2021). Termite protection has been continuous since the home was built in 1996 — with Terminix on file to prove it.
Outside, the backyard has been shaped into a genuine private retreat: mature azaleas and hydrangeas, a rock-and-water pond feature, landscape lighting, Trex decking, and a Rachio smart irrigation system that keeps it all thriving with minimal effort. An aluminum fence ( keeps things secure without blocking the view of the trees beyond.

Location: The Crown Jewel of Ballantyne
If you know Ballantyne, you know location is everything — and this one delivers. A private back gate opens directly onto Ballantyne Commons, putting you on foot to Stonecrest at Piper Glen (Trader Joe’s, Regal Cinema, and a strong dining lineup) and the Ballantyne Bowl without ever starting the car. You’re also just minutes from The Amp Ballantyne, top-rated Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools (Hawk Ridge Elementary, Cato Ridge Middle, and Ballantyne Ridge High), and easy access to I-485.
Remarkably low HOA_ just $183 semi-annually — and it’s easy to see why homes in Kensington at Ballantyne rarely sit on the market long.
