Remarks:
Welcome to 20334 Bethelwood, a private Lake Norman estate with grandfathered deep-water dock & new pool on 1.5 acres. Wake up each morning to breathtaking lake views from this private waterfront estate, ideally positioned along one of Cornelius’s most desirable streets. Offering 93 feet of updated shoreline, protected deep water & quick access to the open lake, this exceptional property combines the tranquility of a secluded cove with convenient access to Catawba Avenue, I-77 & Uptown Charlotte. A gated entrance opens to an impressive approximately 475-foot tree-lined driveway surrounded by mature landscaping, wooded natural areas & expansive lawns. Nearly $500,000 has been invested in extensive improvements throughout the property, including the new pool & spa, updated shoreline, landscaping & tree work, expanded driveway & parking, irrigation, HVAC systems & other enhancements, creating a truly turnkey Lake Norman estate. Green Giant evergreens provide additional screening near the lake, while a dry creek bed helps manage hillside drainage. New sod, expanded driveway & additional parking further enhance the estate. At the water, paver steps lead directly to the shoreline, beach area & property’s grandfathered covered dock—an increasingly rare Lake Norman feature. The dock includes a floating boat slip with lift, boathouse & covered waterside lounge, all positioned on protected deep water. Its substantial grandfathered footprint offers an opportunity that cannot be replicated under today’s shoreline regulations. Outdoor living spaces were designed for effortless entertaining. Added in 2021, the custom heated saltwater pool & spa overlook the lake & feature travertine coping, spacious paver sun deck & protective pool cover. With the sun rising over the lake & setting behind the home, the pool receives beautiful morning light followed by welcome afternoon & evening shade. A covered Trex deck extends the living space outdoors, while the spa-inspired entertaining area beneath offers generous room for dining & lounging. Ceiling fans, TV connections & speaker wiring make it ideal for lake days, game nights & relaxed evenings with family & friends. Inside, more than 4,600 square feet of custom-built living space includes five bedrooms & four full bathrooms, with lake views from nearly every room. The main level features an inviting great room with stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace, light-filled sunroom & spacious kitchen with center island. Luxury vinyl plank flooring has been added in the main-level bedrooms & throughout the finished walkout lower level. The lower level provides flexible space for recreation, entertaining or multigenerational living, along with a second wood-burning fireplace & direct access to the backyard, pool & lake. A neutral interior palette creates a bright, updated backdrop ready for any style. The home has been meticulously maintained & thoughtfully improved, with dual HVAC systems replaced in 2020 & 2023, two refrigerators, dishwasher, washer & dryer, & upgraded lake-fed irrigation system with new high-capacity pump powerful enough to support an additional front-yard zone. Additional features include a charming storage shed with electricity & city sewer, plus water lines already installed for a future city-water connection, pending meter installation & final connection. With no HOA, exceptional privacy, heated pool & spa, extensive outdoor living areas, grandfathered deep-water dock & convenient I-77 access, this property offers a Lake Norman lifestyle increasingly difficult to find. Enjoy it as-is, or make it the foundation for a one-of-a-kind forever home on a waterfront lot that simply cannot be duplicated. Once-in-a-generation lakefront properties like this rarely reach the market. This is the one.
