Remarks:
This masterfully reimagined Lake Norman estate is a masterclass in "Classical Craftsman" elegance, blending timeless architectural detail with cutting-edge smart technology. From the moment you approach the Smart Door—which toggles between privacy and clear glass—it is evident that no detail has been overlooked. The home’s open-concept design is anchored by stunning white oak flooring and elevated by custom arches, built-ins, and solid-core shaker doors adorned with crystal knobs. At the heart of the residence, the chef’s kitchen serves as a culinary showpiece featuring specialty cabinetry, WiFi-enabled appliances, and a butler’s pantry with a convenient drawer microwave, while California Closets and full-house plantation shutters throughout provide both beauty and organizational bliss. The private sanctuaries within the home include a primary suite that acts as a true retreat, complete with a private fireplace and a spa-like bath equipped with a steam shower and an oversized soaking tub. The upper level is ideal for family or guests, offering three bedroom suites, a versatile loft, and an additional full bath. For hosting, the walkout lower level serves as the ultimate entertainment hub, boasting a second kitchen, a great room with a rugged stone fireplace, and a dedicated craft and laundry room, as well as a bedroom suite. This space flows seamlessly outdoors through panoramic glass sliding doors with integrated screens, leading to a multi-level paradise finished with bluestone patios, outdoor kitchen, and an expanded rear deck featuring recessed lighting. The property is a boater’s dream, featuring a private dock with a 10,000 lb boat lift, a brand-new floating jet ski dock, and access to the Island Forest private community boat ramp. The outdoor oasis is rounded out by a custom fire pit area and full property landscape and balcony lighting. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the home is equipped with modern essentials and security, including a full-home sound system, HVAC air purification, a tankless water heater, and a comprehensive security system. Even the garage has been upgraded with epoxy flooring and a new smart opener, ensuring every inch of the estate is as functional as it is beautiful.
