Property Description

Architecturally distinctive Mediterranean-inspired waterfront estate by renowned builder G.M. Helms, designed in collaboration with architect Christopher Phelps and celebrated interior designer Dina Lowery. Featured on the cover of Charlotte Magazine as an architectural wonder, the residence was recently selected as the filming location for a national commercial, further highlighting its distinctive design. The four-story home is ideally positioned on Lake Norman’s main channel with west-facing exposure and breathtaking sunset views. Designed to be both grand and inviting, the home unfolds through a series of refined yet comfortable living spaces. A dramatic three-story great room anchors the residence, showcasing soaring ceilings, a monumental limestone fireplace, and an expansive wall of lake-facing windows that flood the home with natural light. A striking four-story self-supported circular staircase winds gracefully through all levels, serving as the home’s defining architectural centerpiece. The residence offers approximately 7,400 square feet of living space, including five bedrooms, eight baths, six fireplaces, a Brazilian cherry wood library, media room, billiards room, and an elevator serving the first three levels. Designed with entertaining in mind, the home features a chef’s kitchen on the main level and a full secondary kitchen on the lake level, along with multiple gathering and leisure spaces throughout. The fourth-floor sky lounge with bar provides elevated views of the lake and surrounding islands, creating a unique retreat for entertaining or quiet relaxation. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with three balconies, a Spanish-tiled lakeside gazebo, and a deep-water dock equipped with lifts for two jet skis, a double-decker pontoon, and pilings suitable for a 45-foot yacht. Preliminary HOA approval for a pool has been obtained, offering the opportunity to further enhance the property’s lakeside experience (subject to final Architectural Review Committee approval). Lovingly maintained by only two owners since its 1997 construction, the home has been extensively updated, including renovated kitchens and baths, four HVAC systems, two tankless water heaters, enhanced audiovisual systems, interior and exterior repainting, and refreshed landscaping. A rare offering that seamlessly blends timeless Mediterranean architecture, thoughtful craftsmanship, and premier Lake Norman waterfront living.
