Rare opportunity for a year-round lake-view house — where everyday convenience meets a peaceful escape. Perfectly positioned within walking distance of charming downtown Davidson. There is something about having the water, in the background, that makes everything feel a little less hurried. A view you don’t have to make plans to enjoy. Park your car and leave it. Walk to the gym, coffee, or to one of the dozen restaurants within a mile. Everything you need is close, but home feels a world away from the rush. That’s the beauty of it. A place to slow down without having to "get away". It’s not flashy. It doesn’t need to be. It just lets you breathe. Peaceful. Connected.

This is your chance! It feels like waterfront but without the price. Custom woodwork, imported Italian tiles, skylights, bamboo flooring, custom concrete countertops, Bosch appliances, walk-out basement with wet bar and full bathroom. The hot tub is included and well maintained. The accessory building has electric, A/C + heat, and is hard wired for internet. Ready for whatever you need. Mature landscape with rose bushes, peonies, and much more. Inquire about boat slips at lakenormancompany dot com or join one of the boat clubs. Is this your next home? Come experience the peace.
