About this home

Not every home has character. This one has a story waiting for its next owner to write the next chapter. Tucked beneath a mature canopy of hardwoods on a rare, nearly half-acre private lot in one of Cornelius' desirable waterfront communities, this distinctive A-frame offers a unique opportunity to own a home with architectural charm, an open floor plan, and room to make it your own. The dramatic vaulted great room serves as the heart of the home, featuring soaring ceilings, warm wood accents, and an open-concept design that was well ahead of its time. The functional layout flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining area, while spacious bedrooms, an attached two-car garage, and a practical floor plan provide everyday comfort and convenience. Multiple outdoor living spaces invite you to enjoy the peaceful setting from both the front and rear decks. Relax beneath the covered gazebo, entertain family and friends, or simply unwind surrounded by mature landscaping and natural privacy. A detached storage building provides additional space for gardening tools, hobbies, and outdoor equipment. The home offers an excellent opportunity for cosmetic updates and exterior improvements, allowing the next owner to personalize the property while preserving its unique architectural character and exceptional setting. Original character, generous living spaces, and a layout that remains highly functional today create the perfect canvas for thoughtful updates and long-term value. Located within a waterfront community, you'll enjoy the Lake Norman lifestyle while benefiting from the privacy of a wooded homesite just minutes from shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. The property is currently served by a septic system, with county sewer available in the neighborhood, providing future flexibility for buyers who may wish to install a pool or further enhance the outdoor living space. Some homes are simply houses, homes like this become the backdrop for memories!

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. Christy can introduce you to lenders she trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
