973 Pinnacle Drive

Set on nearly five private acres in gated Pinnacle Ridge, this one-owner custom estate brings European and French Provincial inspiration to a remarkably convenient setting just minutes from Lake Norman. Pinnacle Ridge is an enclave of stately, individually designed homes, where varied architecture gives each residence a distinctive identity.

Offering 5,230 square feet of finished living area, the home was designed and built with extraordinary intention. Its concrete-stucco exterior, custom curved roof detailing, and solid cedar garage doors create a distinguished first impression, while historic hand-hewn and salvaged wood elements bring warmth and character inside. Custom millwork, built-ins, eight-foot doors and thoughtfully planned storage reflect the care invested throughout.

The chef’s kitchen features Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a Bosch dishwasher, custom cabinetry, and a scullery-style pantry and work area. The hearth room and breakfast nook, directly off the kitchen, offer peaceful views from every window, either overlooking the gardens, woods, or the back field. Each bedroom enjoys an en-suite bath, while the light-filled upper-level bonus room offers flexibility for an office, studio, fitness or recreation space. The home was also framed to accommodate a future elevator. Four propane fireplaces offer charm and comfort in the great, hearth, and recreation rooms, along with the screened porch. Outdoors an additional wood burning fireplace with built-in grill, creates ambiance alongside the pool and lower level of the home.

Designed for entertaining, the finished walkout lower level includes a wet bar, surround sound, a wine or whiskey niche, and direct access to the pool terrace. Beyond the finished space, an additional 1,286 square feet of unfinished basement provides exceptional storage and future possibilities. A three-car main garage is complemented by a separate lower-level workshop and utility garage, keeping projects and equipment apart from everyday vehicles.

Outdoor living unfolds across a screened porch, balconies, covered patios, and a saltwater pool surrounded by mature landscaping. The grounds feature wooded privacy, open fields, and established gardens. Four HVAC zones, whole-house water treatment with UV filtration and reverse osmosis, central vacuum, extensive audio and AV setup options, and a portable generator with dedicated connection add comfort and function behind the scenes.

Private yet connected, this singular estate offers the atmosphere of a mountain retreat with convenient access to Lake Norman, Denver-area amenities, Uptown Charlotte, and Charlotte Douglas International Airport. HOA quarterly dues uniquely cover high speed internet and trash removal.
