About this home

Tucked into the coveted Marion Lake Club community, this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath waterfront haven spans 3,060 square feet of impeccable craftsmanship and lake-life luxury. From the moment you arrive, the home's exterior—wrapped entirely in rock and brick back in 2008—makes a bold first impression and promises quality built to endure. Inside, the details speak volumes: hickory hardwood floors, custom hickory cabinets, quartz countertops in the kitchen and baths, plantation shutters, Roman shades, and gas logs that make chilly mountain evenings downright cozy. Tinted glass windows on the lake side frame those amazing views without the glare, while a generous laundry room keeps everyday living effortless. Downstairs, a spacious game room, two full baths, and a second primary bedroom with ceramic wood flooring create the perfect retreat for guests or gatherings. The large walk-in closet on Lower level was previously a 3rd bedroom, which could easily be converted back to a bedroom again. The outdoor space is where this property truly shines. Weather-resistant IPE wood decks, an outdoor kitchenette, and a back porch positioned to catch glorious sunrises invite you to linger. A finished gazebo with electricity, a private boat dock with lift for a triple pontoon, swim ladder, and sun deck complete the waterfront dream. Brown metal roofs on the house, gazebo, and dock add lasting durability, and a brand-new electrical panel keeps everything modern. Beyond your doorstep, Lake James State Park, the Fonta Flora State Trail, and the Marion Lake Club dining scene are all just minutes away. Waterfront quality like this rarely surfaces. Schedule your private showing before it slips away.
