An extraordinary architect-designed Lake Norman waterfront estate where timeless craftsmanship meets modern luxury. Built in 2017 on 4.4 private waterfront acres, this historically-accurate and inspired custom home offers approximately 6,850 heated square feet across three finished levels, plus a walk-in attic ready for future expansion.
Designed for both grand entertaining and everyday living, the home features 7 bedrooms, 7 full baths, 2 half baths, soaring 11-foot ceilings, three fireplaces (one is a large wood burning model with swinging cooking arm), RIM locks throughout the home (skeleton keys), formal living and dining rooms, a handsome library/office with custom built-ins, homework/craft room, billiards room, poker room, dedicated home theater, fitness room, and a walk-out lower level complete with a well-appointed custom wet bar.
The chef's kitchen is appointed with a Wolf gas range, separate Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, custom cabinetry, and exceptional finishes throughout. The main-level owner's suite provides a private retreat, while an elevator shaft has already been incorporated into the design for future accessibility. The master-craftsman stairway has a continuous handrail that travels throughout all 4 stories leading from the basement to the walk-in attic.
Outdoor living is equally impressive with over 2,200 square feet of covered porches overlooking the water, an oversized custom saltwater heated pool and spa, pool lanai with a full bathroom, brick fire pit, water fountain feature (winterized), and professionally landscaped grounds accented by mature crape myrtles and white vinyl horse fencing. A circular driveway, four-car garage, and 40-foot RV cover provide exceptional convenience.
Enjoy the best of Lake Norman with a covered dock, double jet ski lift (convertible for a boat lift), dredged cove, riprap shoreline, and city water and sewer. Custom constructed with impressive 27-foot architectural columns on the front and rear, this one-of-a-kind residence delivers unmatched quality, privacy, and waterfront living.
A rare opportunity to own one of Lake Norman's most distinctive custom estates.
