Property Description
Reintroduced to the market with a fresh perspective, this architecturally significant Mediterranean-inspired waterfront estate captures the essence of refined Lake Norman living. Ideally positioned on the main channel with coveted western exposure, the home offers breathtaking, uninterrupted sunset views that transform each evening into an experience.
Originally built by renowned builder G.M. Helms in collaboration with architect Christopher Phelps and interior designer Dina Lowery, the residence was recognized as an architectural showpiece, including a Charlotte Magazine cover feature, and recently selected as a filming location for a national commercial—further underscoring its design significance.
Inside, the home unfolds with dramatic scale and warmth. A stunning three-story great room, framed by expansive lake-facing windows, fills the space with natural light and panoramic water views, while a monumental limestone fireplace anchors the setting. A four-story self-supported circular staircase serves as a striking architectural centerpiece, connecting each level with elegance and flow.
Designed for both everyday living and exceptional entertaining, the residence offers approximately 7,400 square feet, including five bedrooms, eight baths, multiple gathering spaces, a Brazilian cherry library, media and billiards rooms, and an elevator serving the first three levels. The main-level chef's kitchen and fully equipped lake-level kitchen provide seamless functionality for hosting on any scale.
The top-floor sky lounge, complete with a bar, offers a private retreat with sweeping views of the lake and surrounding islands—perfect for sunset cocktails or quiet reflection above it all.
Outdoor living is equally captivating, featuring multiple terraces, a Spanish-tiled lakeside gazebo, and a deep-water dock with lifts for jet skis, a double-decker pontoon, and capacity for a 40–45 ft yacht—inviting a true waterfront lifestyle. Preliminary HOA approval for a pool presents an opportunity to further enhance the lakeside setting.
Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated by only two owners, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Lake Norman's most distinctive waterfront residences—where architecture, setting, and lifestyle converge.
