Welcome to 805 Lakeforest Drive in the highly sought-after McLean South Shore community of Belmont-where resort-style living meets everyday convenience. This like-new, impeccably maintained 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath home offers a rare opportunity to own a modern, move-in-ready property without the wait or premium of new construction. Situated on a 0.35-acre lot, the home overlooks a neighborhood pond and mature tree line, offering a unique combination of open views and privacy. With no homes directly across the street, you'll enjoy a quiet setting along with frequent sightings of deer and resident bald eagles. The gourmet kitchen is thoughtfully designed with stacked cabinetry, soft-close doors, pullout shelving, quartz countertops, pendant lighting, a gas cooktop, and wall oven. Expansive windows and wide openings fill the home with natural light and create an airy, connected feel throughout the main living spaces, perfect for entertaining. The primary suite offers a true retreat with a spa-like bath featuring a frameless glass shower and freestanding soaking tub. The oversized closet connects directly to a well-appointed laundry room with built-in cabinetry and a sink for added convenience. Upstairs, a spacious loft provides flexible living space for a media room, office, or play area. Two bedrooms include en-suite baths-one on each level-ideal for guests or multigenerational living. All bathrooms feature full-height tiled shower and tub surrounds for a clean, upscale finish. Enjoy sunsets from the front porch with seasonal lake views through the trees, and take advantage of being just a short walk to Drift on Lake Wylie and the Morningstar Marina. The community also offers direct access to the Carolina Thread Trail, walkways to Daniel Stowe Conservancy and neighborhood amenities including a pool, clubhouse, playground, and lake access with kayak launch. Move-in ready and thoughtfully designed, this home blends modern comfort, natural beauty, and an unbeatable location within one of the area's most desirable communities.
