Property Description
Welcome to your lakeside escape, where every day ends with a sunset! Enjoy long range, main channel Lake Norman views from this eclectic lake house filled with warmth and charm. Perfectly set on a beautifully landscaped, flat lot with a large grassy yard and mature trees. Thoughtfully updated throughout, the home offers the comfort of dual primary suites, one on each level making it easy to host family and friends. The cozy sunroom is the heart of the home, where you'll want to linger with morning coffee or curl up in the evenings while the lake glimmers outside your window.

Whether it's boating, entertaining, or simply relaxing under the trees, this property was designed to make every moment feel special. This is more than a lake house-it's a place where memories are made, laughter is shared, and sunsets are never missed. Newer roof & gutters (2022), HVAC (2018 & 2022).
