Updated Chapel Cove Luxury with Pool House and Outdoor Kitchen

Welcome to 12835 Elkhorn Drive - a beautifully updated luxury residence on 1.07 acres in the highly desirable Chapel Cove community, where refined interiors and resort-style outdoor living come together seamlessly. Lovingly maintained by the original owner who thoughtfully designed the home during construction, this exceptional residence offers elevated design, premium upgrades, and an unparalleled backyard retreat built for year-round enjoyment.

From the moment you arrive, the professionally landscaped grounds create unforgettable appeal with mature willow oaks, cherry blossoms, hydrangeas, rose bushes, boxwoods, dwarf weeping willows, and a full irrigation system that enhances the home’s private, serene setting.

Inside, timeless finishes and custom details are showcased at every turn. The fully renovated chef’s kitchen (2024) serves as the heart of the home, featuring porcelain countertops, oversized island, a gas cooktop, designer vent hood, upgraded sink and faucet, built-in microwave, and seamless flow into the spacious living and entertaining areas. Fresh interior paint, updated trim work, and custom window casings add sophistication throughout.

Beautiful hardwood flooring extends across much of the residence, including the staircase, loft, hallway, primary suite, and the entire main-level. Custom closet systems in every bedroom, pantry, and storage area provide both luxury and exceptional functionality.

The spacious primary suite offers a true private retreat with hardwood floors, custom Roman shades, and a stunning spa-style shower renovation completed in 2024. Upstairs secondary bathrooms were remodeled in 2023 with stylish finishes and modern fixtures, while the renovated main-level full bath features a luxurious steam shower in the main-level bedroom - ideal for guests or a private office suite.

Step outside to your own private backyard oasis. The saltwater gunite pool (2021), complete with both heating and chilling capabilities, creates an incredible outdoor experience designed for every season and has been professionally maintained weekly. Complementing the pool is a fully permitted 547-square-foot pool house featuring its own HVAC system and electrical panel, kitchenette with sink and dishwasher, full-size refrigerator, bar seating, half bath, outdoor shower, attic storage, and dedicated walk-in pool storage.

A private putting green and custom outdoor kitchen further elevate the backyard experience, along with white limestone hardscape, TREX deck, screened-in porch and artificial turf. Designed for effortless entertaining, the outdoor kitchen features quartz countertops, bar seating, and a premium DCS 36-inch gas grill with smoker and rotisserie capabilities, separate double burner and griddle.

Located in one of the Charlotte area’s fastest-growing and sought-after communities, Chapel Cove offers community access to Lake Wylie along with exceptional neighborhood amenities including a clubhouse, pool, splash pad, fitness center, scenic trails, playground, tennis courts, pickleball courts, and basketball courts.
