The Best of Carolina Trace. This European-inspired Craftsman lake home was thoughtfully designed to create a living experience where luxury, comfort and nature exist within perfect harmony. The east-facing rear elevation captures priceless, unforgettable sunrises over the water. Layers of mature landscaping create a natural sense of seclusion and intentional screening neighbors for privacy. The home's most memorable feature reveals itself immediately-a clear view of the lake framed perfectly from the front entrance. A seamless floor plan supports both relaxed daily living and effortless entertaining. Craftsmanship really takes center stage throughout, rich pecan flooring, generous ceiling heights, custom cherry wood beams and extensive millwork deliveries a sense of warmth and sophistication. Rustic cherry kitchen cabinetry, all solid wood doors, Anderson windows, Viking appliances, imported stained glass, expansive windows and thoughtfully curated architectural details showcase the intentional design found in every room. Anchored by a grand front entrance, this home seamlessly blends timeless elegance with inviting comfort. Outdoor living is woven into the home's design, with a main-level balcony, lower-level patio and a private balcony off the owner's suite. These inviting spaces extend the living experience outdoors, offering the perfect setting to enjoy morning coffee, entertain guests or enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. The lower level offers exceptional flexibility with three bedrooms, two full baths, a kitchenette, an oversized gathering space and abundant storage. Whether hosting extended family, accommodating overnight guests, or creating the ultimate entertainment retreat, this level provides comfort, convenience, and plenty of room to spread out while enjoying lake views. The spacious garage includes a golf cart door that opens to a sunny outdoor area, perfectly suited for raised vegetable gardens. This is truly a home that must be experienced in person. While photographs capture its beauty, they cannot fully convey the feeling of standing in the space, taking in the views or appreciating the craftsmanship and atmosphere that make it so special. Some homes are seen-this one needs to be experienced. Please review floor plan and explore the virtual walk-through.
