Refined waterfront living in The Peninsula—where architectural detail, thoughtful renovation, and everyday lake life meet. This exceptional home presents an unforgettable lakeside experience. A long stamped-and-stained approach and classic lantern lighting welcome guests to a residence defined by premium finishes and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, featuring a covered front porch that spans nearly the entire length of the home. A long stamped-and-stained approach and classic lantern lighting welcome guests to a residence defined by premium finishes and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, featuring a covered front porch that spans nearly the entire length of the home. Inside, exceptional millwork, crown molding, and custom built-ins reveal a home carefully curated for both entertaining and relaxation. The completely renovated kitchen—anchored by exotic Brazilian granite, a hammered copper sink, Wolf cooktop, double ovens, and expansive pantry—flows directly into the family room and onto the large covered back deck. Oversized picture windows and plantation shutters frame the lake at every turn, bathing rooms in light and drawing the eye to the water beyond. The main-floor primary suite is a true lakeside retreat with private deck access, dual custom walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath finished in Calacatta marble. Upstairs, guest accommodations are generous in scale. Two large bedrooms sharing a thoughtfully designed Jack-and-Jill bath with separate vanities and a stunning walk-in tile shower with glass enclosure, plus a third suite with its own ensuite and walk-in cedar closet. A substantial upper-level office above the garage, appointed with custom cabinetry and plumbing for a full bath, offers flexible workspace or guest accommodations. Outdoors, a broad covered deck with beadboard ceiling, recessed lighting, and fans create an ideal setting for morning coffee or sunset entertaining. Flagstone walkways lead to a private sandy beach, dock, and firepit, creating multiple lakeside moments to savor. This is Lake Norman living at its most elevated—beautifully updated, impeccably appointed, and privately set on one of The Peninsula’s most desirable stretches of shoreline. Opportunities of this quality are rare.
