About this House
What's unique:West-facing sunsetsBoat rampVaulted front roomOpen-water viewsPrivate peninsula cul-de-sacLevel lot
259 feet of Lake Norman shoreline. Level lot. Open-water views. West-facing sunsets. No HOA. This unique 3-bed, 3-bath waterfront home sits on a private peninsula cul-de-sac in Terrell, NC, with a boat ramp, pier, and floating dock with lift. The water stays deep year-round, so the lake is yours to enjoy in every season.
Lake views from nearly every main-level living space. Floor-to-ceiling windows span the rear of the home, framing the water from the living room, kitchen, dining room, and four-seasons sunroom.
Comfortable main-level living. A vaulted front room and open floor plan connect the living room and kitchen. The primary suite has its own full bath, and two additional bedrooms share a second full bath. Laundry is on the main level, and the spacious two-car garage has a tall vaulted ceiling. Built in 1980 with good bones and a new roof in 2022, this home is a great canvas to make your own.
Finished walkout basement with direct boat ramp access. Enjoy a large rec room with a fireplace, a third full bath, and abundant storage. The rear-facing basement garage opens directly to the boat ramp, ideal for watercraft or a workshop. Step out the sliding door to a lakeside patio, the perfect spot for a rocking chair and a sunset. The basement also has potential to add more heated square footage.
Convenient to everything. Highway 150 is minutes away. Sherrills Ford shopping, including Publix, Starbucks, and local dining, is just 3.5 miles out, with Lowe’s Foods and 7-Eleven along the way. Mooresville shopping, including Sam’s Club, Target, and TJ Maxx, is about 8 miles away. I-77 is a 12-minute drive, and uptown Charlotte is 35 minutes.
Waterfront with this much shoreline, deep water, and no HOA is a rare find on Lake Norman. Schedule your private showing today!
