About This Home
Lake Norman waterfront retreat with panoramic island and historic trestle bridge views. Fully redesigned luxury home with deep-water shoreline, resort-style outdoor living, and a private guest suite with separate entrance.
***Upgrade list, floorplan and original construction process images available - please ask for it***
Rare panoramic views stretch across a wooded island and the historic trestle railroad bridge — one of the most distinctive waterfront settings on Lake Norman. This fully redesigned waterfront home blends refined lake living with exceptional craftsmanship and architectural detail throughout. The level of design and quality is best appreciated in person.
Originally built in 2016 and extensively reimagined through a $600,000 renovation completed in 2023, the home was thoughtfully redesigned with long-term durability, custom finishes, and luxury functionality in mind.
The redesigned exterior features a modern farmhouse-inspired elevation with metal roofing, stone columns, and 8-foot entry doors. Twenty-three additional hurricane-rated windows fill the home with natural light while framing panoramic waterfront views. Professionally terraced landscaping leads to the deep-water shoreline and waterfront entertaining areas.
Whether entertaining on the waterfront, watching wildlife from the deck, or boating across Lake Norman at sunset, this property delivers a rare combination of privacy, craftsmanship, and unforgettable scenery.
