SORRY, TOO LATE IN CURETON (WAXHAW) We hate you missed this impressive home in Cureton that truly showed like a model! We knew the top ranked school assignments and the fact that this lovely home is situated on one of the most desirable lots in this quiet section of Cureton, would bring us a quick buyer. Sure enough - it did!  Day-1 on the market, we hosted an Open House and our buyers came through. They were actually under Contract on another home but, had seen this home marketed online.
