For Sale $1,400,000
Welcome to The Lake House on Fair Oak, where a long, wooded approach leads to a private Lake Norman retreat designed for living, entertaining, and making the most of life on the water. Set on .66 beautifully landscaped acres beneath a canopy of mature trees, this 4,166-square-foot home combines gracious main-level living with an expansive finished walk-out lower level and exceptional outdoor spaces—all just steps from your private dock. Inside, the open floor plan is warm and welcoming, with hardwood floors, generous gathering spaces, a dedicated office, dining room and a thoughtfully designed kitchen with island, breakfast bar and updated appliances. The main level features a private primary suite plus an additional bedroom, while the upper level offers a flexible bedroom/bonus room. Multiple porches and decks extend the living outdoors, including a screened porch off the primary suite—perfect for quiet mornings surrounded by the trees. The fully finished daylight lower level adds approximately 1,805 square feet of heated living area and creates an incredible second living space with its own entrance and kitchen facilities, family room with gas fireplace, wet bar, second primary suite, two full baths, exercise room and additional flexible office/work/play or bonus space. It's an ideal arrangement for extended family, guests, work-from-home needs or simply giving everyone room to spread out. And then there is the lake. Follow the pathways through the mature landscape to your own waterfront playground, where a private floating dock, approximately 23.5' x 11.5' boat slip, watercraft lift, waterside gazebo and fire pit set the stage for days spent boating, jet skiing and paddling—and evenings gathered by the fire. There's even room for visiting watercraft. The setting offers the intimacy and protection of the waterfront while placing the main body of Lake Norman just a few homes away. The outdoor living is just as special closer to home, with a screened porch, deck, covered and open patios, landscape lighting and multiple places to entertain, dine or simply enjoy the view. The property has been exceptionally cared for, with significant recent improvements including a whole-roof replacement in 2024, additional front roof replacement following a 2025 storm, new gutters in 2025, new water heater in 2026, updated kitchen appliances, newer lower-level flooring and recent dock improvements. Fair Oak Lake House is more than a home on Lake Norman. It's a place to gather, retreat, entertain and play—where the road home really does lead to the lake.
