About This Home

Perched elegantly above Lake Norman's eastern shore and uniquely situated on one of The Peninsula's most desirable double lots, this trophy estate commands breathtaking expansive vistas from an unrivaled lakefront setting. Inspired by classic Mediterranean architecture and thoughtfully designed for refined living, the residence seamlessly balances grand scale with warmth and livability.

From the moment of arrival, a sweeping motor court and stately façade set the tone for the home's sophisticated interiors, where soaring ceilings, custom craftsmanship, and expansive walls of glass create a seamless connection to the lake. Designed for both intimate gatherings and large-scale entertaining, the home offers beautifully curated living spaces, a chef's kitchen with premium appliances, luxurious private retreats, and multiple fireplaces that create warmth and character throughout the home's living and entertaining spaces.

The spectacular lake level is an entertainer's dream, featuring a custom bar, wine storage and tasting area, billiards and recreation spaces, media and gathering areas, as well as seamless walkout access to the resort-style grounds beyond. A private guest suite with a full bath and walk-in closet provides ideal accommodations for extended family or overnight guests.

Outdoors, an exceptional waterfront experience unfolds with an expansive pool and spa, covered terraces, outdoor kitchen, fireplace lounge, manicured grounds, private putting green, shoreline boardwalk, and a covered dock extending into the sparkling waters of Lake Norman. Every space has been thoughtfully positioned to capture the property's extraordinary water views and unforgettable sunsets.

Recent improvements include fresh interior and exterior paint, brand-new carpeting, updated bathrooms, additional laundry room, newer HVAC systems, and the latest in Crestron smart home technology. Additional highlights include a fully finished four-car garage, substantial workshop and storage space, and negotiable furnishings for a truly turnkey opportunity.

An exceptional offering where architecture, lifestyle, and location converge to create one of The Peninsula's most compelling waterfront residences.
