About This Home

Welcome to this stunning 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath retreat offering the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and lake living. Thoughtfully designed with two bedrooms on the main level and two in the finished basement, this home flows effortlessly for everyday living and entertaining alike.

The main-level primary suite is a true escape, featuring soaring cathedral ceilings, walk-in, tiled shower, double vanities, and an expansive walk-in closet. A second main-floor bedroom offers its own ensuite bath—ideal for an office, guests or multigenerational living. At the heart of the home, the great room impresses with dramatic beamed ceilings and a cozy gas log stone fireplace, opening to a beautifully updated kitchen built for the serious cook: an oversized island, 8-burner gas range with double ovens, and full-size refrigerator and freezer.

Walk out to the covered deck and take in gorgeous lake views, or head down to your own fire pit and enjoy an easy stroll to the water's edge. Additional main-level features include a half bath and a functional laundry/mudroom with side entry from the garage. The finished lower level of the home extends the living space beautifully, with stained concrete floors throughout, a kitchenette, third bedroom with ensuite bath, and a fourth bedroom with hall bath and exterior entry—perfect for coming in straight from the lake.

A heated and cooled workshop plus a large storage/exercise room complete the lower level. The oversized 2-car heated garage boasts durable epoxy flooring, while the finished room above—complete with a mini-split and custom built-in cabinetry—offers endless possibilities as a game room, hobby space, or craft studio. Outside, enjoy a covered gazebo updated with composite decking and cable rails and private one-slip floating dock with lift & jet ski docks—lake life at its finest.

All this offered mostly furnished with list of exclusions. Located in the sought-after Southpointe community, residents enjoy access to a sparkling pool, kayak launch, and the scenic Dry Creek walking trails—all within walking distance. Community access to the Fonta Flors State Trail provides miles of hiking and mountain biking options.

Just 20 minutes to Morganton's shopping and entertainment, this home truly offers it all.
