Description

Every evening, the sun sets over open water, and you have the best seat in town. This charming 1980 lake home on a peninsula in Terrell has 259 feet of Lake Norman shoreline, a level lot, and no HOA. Whether your perfect day means launching the boat from your own ramp, tying up at the floating dock with lift, or simply watching the sun sink over open water, lake life here is easy. And because the water stays deep year-round, the fun doesn't stop when the seasons change. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows span the back of the home and bring the lake into the living room, kitchen, dining room, and four-seasons sunroom. It's the kind of backdrop that makes morning coffee, family dinners, and quiet evenings feel a little more special. A vaulted front room and open floor plan connect the living room and kitchen, so everyone stays together. Down the hall, the primary suite has its own full bath, with two more bedrooms and a second full bath nearby. Laundry is on the main level, and the spacious two-car garage has a tall vaulted ceiling. Downstairs, the finished walkout basement is the ultimate lake-weekend hangout. The large, open rec room has a fireplace and plenty of space for a pool table, a bar, and a cozy TV area. Unwind here after a summer day on the water, or invite friends over to watch the football game on a crisp fall afternoon. A full bath and abundant storage keep everything easy. The rear-facing garage opens directly to the boat ramp, so it works for watercraft or a workshop. Slide open the door to the lakeside patio, pull up a rocking chair, and let the evening unfold. There's even potential to add more heated square footage. Built in 1980, this home has good bones, a roof replaced in 2022, and plenty of room to make it your own. It's a great canvas for the lake house you've been imagining. Everyday errands are easy, too. Highway 150 is minutes away, and Sherrills Ford shopping, including Publix, Starbucks, and local dining, is just 3.5 miles out. Mooresville's Sam's Club, Target, and TJ Maxx are about 8 miles away, I-77 is a 12-minute drive, and uptown Charlotte is only 35 minutes. Come for the shoreline. Stay for the sunsets. Waterfront with this much frontage, deep water, and no HOA is a rare find on Lake Norman. Schedule your private showing today!
