Built in 2023, this like-new, full-brick ranch sits on a private, wooded 1.22-acre corner lot in the gated Harbor Watch neighborhood on the northern end of Lake Norman. A rare combination of custom quality, thoughtful design, outdoor living, and convenient lake access, this home offers room to breathe with all the amenities of a desirable lake community. The heart of the home, the expansive open kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining featuring a stunning oversized island with quartz counters, 6-burner gas range, and special touches like custom shelving, an appliance garage, and even a dedicated pull-out shelf for the KitchenAid mixer! The kitchen flows into the family room, which is anchored by a beautiful stacked-stone gas fireplace. The split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy, while the spacious primary suite offers an exceptional retreat with a custom closet featuring extensive cabinetry and shelving on a room-sized scale. A private adjoining room offers flexibility as a home office, nursery, dressing room, or quiet retreat. Other custom and functional spaces include a secondary office/school room and versatile game room. The screened-in back porch extends the living space outdoors with a wood-burning fireplace and peaceful treetop views - an inviting setting for morning coffee, evening gatherings, and year-round enjoyment. Outside, you'll find an attached side-load 2-car garage plus a detached garage/boathouse. Beneath the home is a spacious walk-in workshop and enclosed mechanical room, along with an encapsulated crawlspace with dehumidifier. With a Generac generator, in-ground irrigation, intentional landscaping, and even a charming elevated deck tucked into the trees (hiding the propane tank), no detail has been overlooked! Harbor Watch offers the privacy of a gated community with direct access to Lake Norman, including a community boat launch, day slips for residents, and an additional off-site storage unit. Get ready to enjoy the beauty and recreation of the lake's northern end while coming home to a peaceful, wooded retreat.
