Situated in the coveted, gated enclave of Governors Island—Lake Norman’s premier private island—this exquisite waterfront residence offers a masterfully updated interior & breathtaking, unobstructed lake views. Notable enhancements include a paver driveway, new HVACs, encapsulated crawlspace, and whole-home WiFi + surround sound. The reimagined floor plan opens to expansive lake vistas through dramatic fold-away glass doors, merging elegant indoor living with the travertine-clad terrace, outdoor kitchen, and resurfaced pool. The show-stopping primary ensuite features floor-to-ceiling tile, LED ambient lighting, and a custom Denver Closets wardrobe. The dock has been rebuilt from the seawall out and includes heavy-duty boat & PWC lifts. With soaring ceilings, refined millwork, a chef’s kitchen, and a spacious split-bedroom layout, this timeless retreat delivers luxurious lakeside living in one of Lake Norman’s most exclusive communities.
