About This Property

Widely regarded as the most iconic residence on Governors Island, this extraordinary contemporary post-and-beam masterpiece offers a rare blend of architectural significance, modern luxury, and commanding panoramic views of Lake Norman. Designed by renowned architect Randy Basselman, the home is perfectly positioned on a private point lot within the exclusive gated community to maximize breathtaking water vistas and unparalleled privacy. Walls of glass, soaring post-and-beam design, and sophisticated contemporary finishes create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

|

Offering 4 spacious bedrooms, 5 full baths, and 1 half bath, the residence was thoughtfully designed for both grand-scale entertaining and refined everyday living. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen showcases premium integrated appliances, a Wolf gas range, custom curved cabinetry, and striking designer details. Recently enhanced, the expansive bonus/recreation space now features beautiful hardwood flooring, an updated bar area, and an additional flex space ideal for a private office, creative studio, or executive workspace.

Designed to entertain effortlessly, the home offers multiple gathering spaces both inside and out, allowing for intimate evenings, large-scale celebrations, and everything in between. Interior appointments include a dramatic grand foyer, designer lighting, custom remote-controlled roller shades, wet bar, and living spaces curated around the stunning lake backdrop.
