Welcome to your own private Lake Norman waterfront retreat! This move-in-ready home offers the rare combination of year-round deep water, a covered dock with boat slip, a private 1.29 acre waterfront setting, and a detached 3-car garage—all for under $900,000. Enjoy lake living from multiple vantage points, with beautiful water views from the spacious sunroom, covered waterfront deck, and outdoor living areas. The covered dock provides a dedicated place for your boat and easy access to the lake, making it simple to spend your days boating, fishing, swimming, or simply enjoying the water. Inside, the home offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a main-level primary suite, and comfortable living spaces designed to take advantage of the waterfront setting. The finished sunroom provides additional living space and a wonderful spot to enjoy the changing seasons and lake views. Upstairs, flexible bonus and recreation spaces provide room for guests, hobbies, a home office, or a playroom. The detached 3-car garage adds an exceptional amount of utility and storage for vehicles, boats, lake equipment, recreational gear, or a workshop—an especially valuable feature for waterfront living. Numerous recent improvements provide additional peace of mind, including a new roof in 2024, new HVAC in 2025, and a 2024 replacement of the dock roof. If you've been searching for a Lake Norman property where deep water, boating access, privacy, outdoor living, and practical storage come together, this one deserves a look. Come experience the waterfront setting and see why properties offering this combination are so hard to find.
