About this home

A rare offering on Lake Norman, this gated waterfront estate captures breathtaking unobstructed long range views across the lake. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Cornelius, the residence was thoughtfully designed to maximize the water from nearly every primary living space while delivering a level of luxury and privacy seldom found in today's market. Beyond the gas-lit courtyard, the lake serves as the centerpiece of the home, showcased through walls of glass that capture panoramic water views from nearly every vantage point. Soaring 10-foot ceilings, wide-plank white oak flooring, and designer finishes create an atmosphere of understated luxury. The gourmet chef's kitchen serves as the heart of the home, anchored by a grand island, Wolf 8-burner range with double oven, scullery, wine room, planning center, and bespoke Miele coffee bar. Seamless indoor-outdoor living connects the dining and great room spaces to a covered lakeside lanai with fireplace, built-in grill, dedicated pool bath, heated pool, and spa, all overlooking the expansive water beyond. The main-level primary retreat offers a private sanctuary with tranquil lake views, separate vanities, an oversized tiled shower, soaking tub, his-and-her closets, and private laundry. An executive office, planning center, built-in drop zone, and thoughtfully integrated storage further enhance the home's functionality without compromising its elegance. Upstairs, a spacious family lounge overlooking the water, flex room, built-in study station, and three ensuite bedrooms with walk-in closets provide exceptional comfort and privacy. A breezeway leads to a private second living quarters complete with a kitchenette, full bath, balcony, and flexible living space currently utilized as a fitness studio. The outdoor experience is equally remarkable. A modernized 150-foot grandfathered pier extends into the lake and leads to an upgraded floating dock featuring lighting, water service, and 240V electrical. Whether hosting guests poolside, enjoying a sunset cruise, or simply taking in the ever-changing views across the water, the setting is extraordinary. With no HOA, private gated entry, and a premier Cornelius location, this exceptional waterfront estate represents a rare opportunity to own a truly irreplaceable piece of Lake Norman, where breathtaking views, thoughtful design, and resort-inspired living come together in remarkable fashion.
