About this home
A Legacy Lake Norman Estate! Welcome to one of Denver's most distinguished waterfront residences—an exceptional full-brick estate thoughtfully positioned within a protected cove while capturing breathtaking panoramic views across the open waters of Lake Norman. Built as a true showcase home, this remarkable property combines timeless architecture, generous proportions, and enduring craftsmanship with a setting that simply cannot be recreated. From the moment you enter, the home's grandeur is undeniable. A dramatic two-story foyer is anchored by an elegant curved staircase that sweeps gracefully to the upper level, setting the tone for the refined architectural details found throughout. Soaring ceilings, extensive millwork, arched openings, oversized windows, and rich hardwood flooring create an atmosphere that is both impressive and welcoming. Designed for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining, the main level flows effortlessly from one inviting space to another. The expansive great room is filled with natural light and framed by towering windows that draw the outdoors inside while showcasing peaceful lake views. A spacious chef's kitchen offers abundant custom cabinetry, generous granite workspace, a center island, stainless appliances, and seamless connection to the living and dining areas, making it equally suited for intimate family meals or hosting unforgettable gatherings. The luxurious primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with its own fireplace, elegant tray ceiling, and direct access to the outdoor living spaces. The spa-inspired bath offers dual vanities, an oversized jetted soaking tub, separate tiled shower, and exceptional walk-in closet space, creating a true owner's sanctuary. An elevator provides convenient access between levels, while a dedicated office, oversized laundry room, and thoughtfully designed secondary bedrooms enhance both comfort and functionality. Upstairs, a private covered veranda offers a quiet escape overlooking the surrounding property and lake beyond. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A sprawling covered lakeside terrace provides multiple areas for dining, conversation, and relaxation, extending the home's living space into the natural beauty of its surroundings. Just beyond, the private dock places boating, paddleboarding, fishing, and sunset cruises only steps from your back door. Adding even greater value, the property includes two additional building lots positioned at the front of the estate, offering expanded privacy, investment potential, or the opportunity for future development or resale. Combined with the three-car garage, mature landscape, and protected waterfront setting, the estate delivers a rare combination of luxury, flexibility, and long-term value. This is more than a waterfront home—it is a legacy property where timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and one of Lake Norman's most coveted settings come together to create an extraordinary place to call home.
