This exceptional custom-built luxury home, originally crafted as a builder's personal residence, is a true showcase of timeless elegance, superior craftsmanship, and thoughtful design. Perfectly perched just across the street from Lake Norman, the home offers an unmatched blend of sophistication, functionality and privacy. Step through the stunning leaded glass front door into a light-filled interior where soaring ceilings and expansive windows frame breathtaking water views from nearly every room. The impressive Great Room features a dramatic cathedral ceiling and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, creating a warm yet grand gathering space filled with natural light throughout the day. Designed for both easy every day living as well as entertaining, the gourmet chef's kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, two ovens (one electric and one steam oven), wine refrigerator, gorgeous granite countertops, a massive center island (with additional storage below), and a generously sized walk-in pantry. Luxurious design elements continue throughout the home with beautifully appointed bathrooms featuring custom inlaid tile work, and abundant closet space with an incredibly unique “retail display” style of hanging storage. The private, flat .87-acre lot provides exceptional space to garden or kick around a soccer ball between the World Cup games this summer. Whether you're a bonafide automobile lover or just someone with plenty of recreational toys, you will most certainly appreciate the convenience of a rare attached 4-car garage! There is even additional parking around the back of the property for an RV or boat. And, NO HOA!
