Welcome to this gorgeous lakefront retreat on Badin Lake in New London-set on a private 1.22-acre lot with breathtaking views of the Uwharrie Mountains and the National Forest. This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage (1,783 sq. ft.) offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and year-round lake living. Step inside to new LVP flooring on both levels. The kitchen has been completely refreshed with granite countertops, a stylish backsplash, updated appliances, a new sink/faucet, updated lighting, and fresh paint. The bright living spaces feature updated lighting and fresh interior paint, plus wood-burning fireplaces in both the main-level living room and the lower-level entertainment room-perfect for cozy evenings. The bedrooms have been updated with paint throughout, and both bathrooms have been beautifully remodeled. Additional improvements include a refinished staircase leading to a charming rustic-style basement, a fully functioning second kitchen with new granite countertops and backsplash, and new basement appliances. You'll also enjoy an entertainment/family room with updated lighting. The lower-level bed/bonus room has a closet; note: there are no windows. Outdoor living is just as impressive, featuring a fully screened wraparound slate patio with a hot tub, a freshly stained/painted wraparound upper deck, new water lines, and a new well pump system. Enjoy peace of mind with a metal roof installed less than five years ago, added privacy from chain-link fencing, and multiple storage options including a workshop/storage shed and an additional storage building near the pier. The true showstopper is the waterfront setting-enjoy easy access to the lake and pier via stairs or driveway. This move-in-ready getaway is a rare opportunity to experience peaceful lakefront living with stunning mountain and forest views. SELLER TO PAY BUYER'S CLOSING COSTS with an acceptable offer!
