8205 Tradd Court is a two bedroom, two and a half bath condominium in The Gates at Quail Hollow, an established community in Charlotte, NC 28210, minutes from SouthPark. The home offers approximately 1,273 square feet, with each bedroom featuring its own private ensuite bathroom plus a convenient half bath on the main level. The main level centers on a sun filled living room warmed by a gas fireplace, the kind of space that works as easily for a quiet night with a book as it does for friends who stay past dinner, helped along by a built in wet bar tucked into the corner. Crown molding and durable LVP flooring carry through the main living areas and give the space a settled, finished feel. The kitchen, bright and tiled through the entry, stays out of the way until you need it, then earns its keep with stainless appliances and enough cabinet space to actually put things away, opening into a dining area sized for real conversation. A convenient half bath off this level means guests never have to find their way upstairs. Upstairs, the primary suite reads as its own retreat. Vaulted ceilings lift the room, a walk in closet keeps the morning simple, and a soaking tub gives you somewhere to end the day on your own terms. The second bedroom carries its own private ensuite and vaulted ceiling too, so whoever uses it, a guest, a home office, a quiet workspace, gets true separation rather than a shared wall and a compromise. Neutral paint throughout leaves the styling decisions to you. Outside, a private back patio with gated access from the parking area offers a place to unwind, backed by a dedicated storage closet and two dedicated parking spaces that remove the daily guesswork. Plenty of visitor parking as well. Ownership here is deliberately uncomplicated. The AC and heat pump along with the building's roof were all replaced in 2023. The Gates at Quail Hollow HOA covers lawn maintenance, exterior siding and roof upkeep, and water and sewer, then hands you a community pool, hot tub, clubhouse, fitness center, and green space you never have to maintain yourself, along with a calendar of community events if you want them. One predictable bill in exchange for a genuine amount of your own time back. 8205 Tradd Court sits close enough to SouthPark Mall, Park Road Shopping Center, grocery and pharmacy options, medical care, and a wide range of entertainment and dining that errands stop feeling like errands, with quick access to Ballantyne and Uptown Charlotte when you need them. Offered at $300,000, this is a well built place to actually live, right where you already want to be.
