LAKE LIFE may be closer than you think! This charming 2-story home, tucked in the Villages at Harborside, is just down the street from a one-of-a-kind boardwalk along the shores of Lake Norman. Drop a canoe or kayak in the water, rent a boat slip from one of your neighbors (advertised from time to time), or wander down to the adjacent restaurant-in-the-round for dinner with friends and a waterfront view. Begin your mornings on the home's inviting, Southern-style front porch. Inside, sunlight pours into the soaring 2- story Great Room, and a cozy gas fireplace anchors the space and creates a feeling of home. The Dining Area flows effortlessly into the Kitchen, complete with a cheery breakfast nook made for coffee and conversation and providing direct access to . . . the BACKYARD RETREAT! Step through sliding glass doors to a fully fenced “secret garden” with lush greenery, blooming plants, and a spacious patio perfect for grilling and simply unwinding. Also on the MAIN LEVEL is the PRIMARY BEDROOM with walk-in closet, en suite bathroom, and handy proximity to the laundry (with washer and dryer included). Upstairs, every inch is thoughtfully used with two sizeable bedrooms each with a double closet, a full bathroom between, and additional storage. The home is complete with a 1-car garage featuring hidden storage, plus driveway and on-street parking. Enjoy the refreshing community pool just a short distance away, adding even more to this relaxed, lakeside lifestyle. If you've been waiting for the right mix of charm, convenience, and easy living, this is it!
