Experience elevated Lake Norman living in this fully renovated, move-in-ready waterfront home offering expansive main-channel views, modern upgrades throughout, and a rare turnkey opportunity at this price point. Thoughtfully redesigned from top to bottom, this home blends timeless style with high-end comfort — delivering the kind of lakefront lifestyle buyers want now, without the renovation delays. Inside, the home features a professional gourmet kitchen, beautifully updated bathrooms, spacious bedrooms, and stylish new lighting throughout. Major improvements include a new roof (2017), main HVAC with whole-house air filtration (2018), basement HVAC with whole-house air filtration (2022), new water heater, updated plumbing including hose bibs, new electrical outlets, and a whole-house water filtration and softener system — all completed so you can enjoy the home from day one. Additional upgrades include new ceiling fans, updated door hardware, LED lighting in every closet, a new Pella sliding glass door in the basement bonus room, a new LiftMaster garage door opener, a new irrigation pump, and an outdoor storage shed. Step outside and take in the best of Lake Norman. The newer covered dock features a 10,000-lb boat lift, and the cove was professionally dredged in 2020 to improve water depth and provide easier access to the main channel. Whether you’re relaxing on the deck, hosting friends and family, or heading out on the water, the setting delivers the views, access, and lifestyle buyers expect from a premier waterfront property. This is a rare opportunity to own a fully updated, move-in-ready waterfront home where all major improvements have already been completed — allowing you to simply enjoy the Lake Norman lifestyle.
