This exceptional Lake Norman home has beautiful updates and offers easy living. The brick exterior has been hand-painted with an Italian lime wash creating depth, dimension, and timeless elegance. A grand 2 story staircase creates an unforgettable first impression. Generously sized living spaces include a formal living room and dining room, office, family room which opens to a chef-inspired kitchen featuring abundant granite counterspace, large center island, updated hardware and lighting, double oven, and an adjoining sunroom used as a casual dining area with peaceful views of the private backyard. Everyday living is made easy with a laundry room/mud room off of the kitchen with mud shower just inside the backdoor. Slip up the back staircase to find 2 bedrooms, one ensuite, a den, and the primary bedroom down the hall. The Primary suite is a true retreat and includes a sitting area, 2 walk-in closets, and a fully remodeled spa-like bathroom featuring dual vanities, a large tiled walk-in shower, modern soaking tub, and separate water closet. The third floor includes a bonus room used as a theatre room, a full bathroom and large walk-in attic space for storage. The finished walkout basement with an in-law suite/apartment is ideal for multigenerational living. This newly remodeled space includes a rec room for the household and a private separate apartment with its own French door entrance, full kitchen with granite countertops, dining area, spacious living room, bedroom, full bath with tiled walk-in shower, and second laundry room. Step outside to a covered patio that is below the newly installed composite deck running the entire back of the house and overlooking the beautifully landscaped, fully fenced backyard - raised garden beds, newly planted trees, low-voltage landscape lighting and extensive drainage improvements - including a French drain system and catch basins which create an outdoor space that is both beautiful and thoughtfully maintained. Additional improvements include new septic risers, retaining walls, and a whole house filtration system reflecting the exceptional care this home has received. To the right of the home is a wooded lot that is owned by the HOA and is not buildable which creates additional peace and privacy. Take a short walk down the street to enjoy the community amenities: waterfront park, boat launch, playground, recreation area, basketball hoop, and picnic area. Conveniently located to the best of Lake Norman shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and activities. This is more than a home - it is a place where spacious living, thoughtful design, and the best of Lake Norman come together.
