Set on a private, flat .75-acre homesite, this custom-built organic modern craftsman offers a rare combination of thoughtful design, elevated finishes, and everyday livability, all within easy reach of Lake Norman and Charlotte.

From the moment you arrive, the home is intentionally positioned to create a sense of quiet separation. A gently curving walkway leads from the driveway to the front porch, guiding you through a professionally designed landscape that feels established, yet understated. The architecture blends clean lines with natural materials, dark siding, stone accents, and layered rooflines, creating a look that is both current and timeless.

Inside, the home opens into a light-filled, open-concept layout defined by 10-foot ceilings and a natural flow between spaces. The great room, kitchen, and dining areas connect seamlessly, creating an environment that feels equally suited for everyday living and entertaining.

At the center of the home, the kitchen is designed to perform as beautifully as it presents. An oversized 8-foot island anchors the space, offering both functionality and a natural gathering point. Outfitted with KitchenAid appliances, gas cooking, and designer finishes, it delivers a level of quality expected at this price point while maintaining a warm, approachable feel. Sightlines extend from the kitchen into the great room and out toward the rear of the property, reinforcing the home’s connection to its setting.

Privately positioned, the primary suite is designed as a true retreat. Tucked toward the rear of the home, it offers both separation and convenience. The en-suite bath is thoughtfully laid out with a large walk-in shower, a freestanding soaking tub, and a spacious walk-in closet, creating a space that feels both functional and restorative.

Three additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, family, or a dedicated office, with a layout that prioritizes privacy without sacrificing accessibility.

Where this home truly sets itself apart is in its outdoor living. The rear elevation is intentionally designed as a clean, continuous plane, allowing the covered porch, positioned to one side, to feel like a purposeful extension rather than an afterthought. From there, the space flows naturally into an expansive paver patio, creating multiple zones for dining, lounging, and entertaining. With a flat, usable backyard and ample room for future additions such as a pool, the setting offers both immediate enjoyment and long-term potential.

The side-load garage is strategically positioned to maintain the integrity of the front elevation, allowing the home to present as a custom residence rather than a production build, an important distinction in both perception and long-term value.

This is a proposed custom build, offering buyers the unique opportunity to personalize select finishes and design elements to reflect their individual style and preferences, creating a home that feels truly their own from the very beginning.

Built with a high-end approach to both design and construction, this home offers a level of finish, layout efficiency, and architectural intention that is increasingly difficult to find at this price point.

This is more than just new construction, it is an opportunity to shape a home around your lifestyle while benefiting from a thoughtfully designed plan and a proven vision.
