Designed by Miller Nicholson, this craftsman home features 140 windows that offer stunning lake views from nearly every room, including the den and five cozy, wood-accented bedrooms. The home is as much about relaxation as it is about creating memories with family and friends, from weekday kayaking with the kids to weekends spent soaking up the sun and enjoying the water.

Boathouse Cove is set on a beautifully landscaped, gently sloping lawn that leads to 234 feet of private shoreline. The outdoor space includes a private dock with covered boat slips (pontoon rentals available) and a sparkling new pool. For ultimate relaxation, indulge in the 6-person hot tub perched on an elevated deck, where you’ll enjoy sweeping lake views. Reservations for this coveted spot might be necessary! The expansive water views stretch across to a natural preserve, offering an unobstructed view of the Lake Norman woods.

The home’s five bedrooms are designed to provide plenty of space for all guests. There are 2 king beds and 5 queen beds, ensuring everyone has a comfortable place to rest. If you’re lucky enough to claim the primary bedroom on the upper level, you’ll enjoy your own private access to the upper deck and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with an oversized shower featuring dual shower heads and a jetted tub.

The upper level includes three more bedrooms and two full bathrooms, featuring one king, one queen, and one room with two queen beds.

For added privacy, the garage area is separated from the main living spaces and offers a quiet retreat.

Upstairs, there's another bedroom with two queen beds, a full bath, and a mini-fridge. The garage offers ample space for kids to hang out and enjoy their own activities.

Boathouse Cove’s outdoor offerings are as expansive as its indoor spaces. The private dock provides the perfect spot for lakefront relaxation, with plenty of seating and all the fun lake toys, including a kayak, 2 paddleboards, and an assortment of life jackets.
