Experience the lakefront lifestyle in this beautiful waterfront home on Lake James, masterfully designed to capture breathtaking views from nearly every room. The main level features a bright, open-concept layout centered around a gourmet chef’s kitchen featuring a premium Wolf induction cooktop, Bosch double ovens, and a large island. There is an open dining area. The adjacent living room is anchored by a cozy gas stove, all framed by expansive windows looking out to the lake. Tucked away on the main floor is the primary suite, boasting private views and an en suite bath equipped with an oversized multi-jetted shower and a deep soaking tub. A dedicated main-floor laundry room and half bath provide convenience. Upstairs, the home transitions into an guest retreat, featuring a flexible loft space with custom built-in beds, two separate bedrooms, and a full hall bath. The fully finished walkout lower level serves as the entertainment hub, offering a sprawling family game room paired with a convenient kitchen area with full-size refrigerator, a full bathroom, and a fourth bedroom outfitted with bunks. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the property has expansive upper and lower covered decks overlooking a gentle, gradual path that leads straight down to the shoreline. Plenty of room for dining and relaxing as well as a hot tub for watching the stars at night. At the water’s edge sits the crown jewel: a premium double-decker aluminum dock complete with double boat slip and a massive upper party deck perfect for getting some sun or sunset views. An outdoor fire pit provides the perfect setting for evenings. The exterior is complete with a lower garage for your cars, water toys and additional storage, a one-car carport, and concrete and asphalt driveway offering ample parking for family and guests. Located in the quiet, gated community, The Enclave is located on the northeast side of the lake, in close proximity to Pisgah National Forest as well as the Fonta Flora State Trail for hiking and biking. In just minutes, you can grab a beer at the Whippoorwill Farm Brewery or head to Morganton in 30 minutes for additional entertainment, restaurants, and shopping. This home is offered turnkey and can be used in a short-term rental program.
