Now for some details! 

This estate was originally built in 1970, but was totally renovated and enlarged over an almost ten year time span from the mid-90's to 2002 to bring it to its current antebellum grandeur! Then, in 2016, the current Owner's enclosed the screen porch, creating both a beautiful Carolina Room as well as a magnificent second story Deck from which to enjoy the majestic views of Thagards Lake. 

The lot is just shy of 3 acres, with a meandering 6" thick concrete driveway which passes by a delightful water feature and then over a quaint wooden bridge before arriving at the front entrance. Prepare to be swept away as you open the 9' double wood doors to the Entry Foyer and another pair of doors to the two story 20' high 36' x 37' Formal Living Room with its centered stone fireplace, a sweeping curved grand mahogany staircase, and an all encompassing second floor balcony from which to display your prized works of art, all accented by extensive ornate moldings and crafted mill work executed by the finest craftsmen. 

The Formal Living Room is highlighted with a propane gas log Fireplace with a Formal Decorative Wood and Stone Surround and Raised Stone Hearth. Just as captivating are the 8' high Full View Glass Doors which open to the Carolina Room with its sweeping view of Thagards Lake and sporting three unique individual living areas. 

Behind the Living Room sits the 23' x 25' Formal Dining Room with a masterful built-in China Cabinet, matched in design by double Butler Pantry Cabinets. The ceiling dental molding is exquisite, setting a beautiful formal entertaining atmosphere. Not far away is the Gentleman's Gathering Room, graced with full height built-in cabinetry. His and Hers Powder Rooms are conveniently located just around the corner! 

The Formal Butler Cabinet hallway leads one to the 20' x 28' Kitchen graced with Cherry Cabinets, a 5' x 7' Work Island, and an Informal Eating Area with views of Thagards Lake. Behind the Kitchen is a 19' x 22' Family Room with a Cherry Cabinet Entertainment Center, pass through window from the Kitchen, and access to both an Interior Courtyard and one of three Lake View Patios. 

Rounding out the Main Floor are two Full Wing En-Suite Master Bedrooms, each with its own Formal Entry area and private Patios. The one facing the Lake is 21' x 21' and enjoys a large walk-in-closet, soaking tub, separate sinks and a private commode/bidet room. The other Master Suite boasts a 19'6" x 23' room with a gas log corner fireplace that can double as an Office/Informal Living area or a private living respite for special Guests or multi-generation family members.

The two en-suite Living Quarters on the 2nd Floor can be reached by a private open staircase located just inside the side entrance next to the attached three car Garage. The first includes a 17'6" x 10'6" Living Area in addition to a 17'6" x 13'6" Guest Bedroom serviced by a walk-in-closet, full Bath and a 6'6" x 6'6" Kitchenette.

The Village of Whispering Pines, the first incorporated Village in the State of North Carolina, is a convenient 60 minute drive from the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill "Research Triangle" area which boasts three major research universities and numerous tech companies and enterprises. 100 S. Lakeshore offers a perfect alternative to the hustle, bustle and congestion North Carolina's second largest metropolitan area with over 2 Million people as either a primary residence or a weekend retreat, offering both a relaxed living as well as a gracious entertaining environment. The area has a zero crime rate thanks to a 24/7 circulating Police Force who take special care to observe homes not occupied on a full time basis. 

The Village of Pinehurst has been long known for its quaint cottages, Village shops and, of course, the 5 Star Pinehurst Resort & Country Club. For years, one needed to own property within the Village proper to be eligible to join the Country Club and play at its famed courses. This has changed so 100 S. Lakeshore owners may now be active members. The current Sellers will pay the $25,000 Premier Golf Membership Initiation Fee to the Pinehurst Country Club which includes unlimited access to Pinehurst Nos. 1-6 plus the Tom Fazio-designed Pinehurst No. 8. for any Buyer interested in taking advantage of this exclusive amenity. 

There is a full ticket of events happening every day throughout Moore County so do not think of the area as only a golf mecca with its over 40 golf courses.
