Under Contract: Stunning Waterfront Home On Lake Norman

Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

From Frustration To Success: A Lake Norman Dream Waterfront Home Under Contract!

 

My client was beginning to lose hope that he would find the right waterfront home on Lake Norman, as so few listings have been coming to market. I kept reminding him — as I do all of my buyers — that there’s always a door with their name on it. Who would have thought that spending up to $2 million in the Greater Charlotte area could be so challenging?

 

Last week, 7902 Chapel Creek Drive in Denver's Sailview neighborhood reduced its price by $150,000 to $1,999,000, putting this renovated, move-in ready, 3,600-square-foot, 1.5-story waterfront home right within my client’s budget. We made a beeline to see it the very next day, submitted an offer just six hours later, and had a signed contract only three hours after that!

 

So what made this the home my client knew was “the one” in a single afternoon?

  • Waterfront property on .80 acres with 103 feet of shoreline in a deep-water cove
  • Floating dock with deck storage for kayaks, a boat lift, and a lakeside firepit
  • 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, an office, and a bonus room
  • Importantly, the primary suite and two additional bedrooms are located on the main floor, allowing my client to comfortably live primarily on one level
  • Covered front porch, screened sunroom, and spacious deck
  • 3-car garage 
  • Gorgeous, extensive lighted landscaping throughout the property providing a park-like feel

 

Located in the highly desirable Sailview neighborhood in Denver, NC, my client will also enjoy exceptional community amenities including a lakeside pool, clubhouse, tennis courts, and more.

 

This Lake Norman home checked every box and perfectly delivered the ultimate Lake Norman waterfront lifestyle my client had been searching for.

 

And it proved me right that there's a door with a buyer's name everywhere. We just have to find it!

Good morning Nina. With keen eye to the market you hand a front door in mind that check almost all the boxes. Then the seller checked the final box with a price adjustment and you were knocking on that door immediately. You were there with superior service and your buyer was the beneficiary. Way to go! Enjoy your day.

Wayne Martin thanks, Wayne. It was getting very sad for a while because we couldn't find anything right for my client. The minute this house popped up after the price reduction and I looked at it... I called my client and told him I had found "his" house.

Good afternoon Nina and congratulations.  The home sounds lovely.  I know some properties on the Colorado river in Bullhead City are almost as expensive tho that is not my market.
