REFINED LAKE NORMAN LUXURY…Discover an exceptional blend of European-inspired elegance, comfort, and coveted lake living at 7786 Chapel Creek Drive, an impressive 5-bedroom, 5.5 bath residence, in the prestigious Sailview Community. Traditional European style, from its architecture and paint palette to its fixtures, this home also carries upgrades you simply won’t find in new construction. Graciously designed for sophisticated living and effortless entertaining, it offers the space, amenities, and lifestyle discerning buyers seek, along with a potential first-floor mother/daughter suite. At the heart of the home, the beautifully appointed gourmet kitchen makes a statement with a Dacor 6-burner gas stove, double ovens, vented hood, double sinks with disposals, breakfast bar, and abundant cabinetry. Just off the kitchen, a dedicated wine cellar cooling unit adds an elevated touch for the wine enthusiast, making entertaining effortless. A newly updated half bath and central vacuum system add style and convenience. The spacious family room is centered around a stunning 6-foot wood-burning fireplace that creates a warm, welcoming gathering space. Upstairs, the primary suite is its own retreat, featuring a cozy gas fireplace, soaking tub, and standing shower, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. The outdoor living is equally impressive. Gather around the wood-burning fireplace, dine al fresco on the patio, entertain with the natural-gas-connected barbeque grill. A beautifully appointed 3-season porch with shades extends the living space and creates a serene setting for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or relaxing with a good book. A new shed provides additional storage. Significant recent improvements offer luxury and peace of mind, including a brand-new roof, two new HVAC units, and two new hot water heaters. The unfinished third story presents an exciting opportunity to create a personalized retreat, media room, office, guest suite, or additional living space, and it’s already plumbed for a bathroom. Sailview enhances the Lake Norman lifestyle with a pool, tennis, volleyball courts, and playgrounds, all just moments from home. And then there is the expansive lake. A deeded boat slip with lift (#H-3) on Lake Norman, elevates this property from exceptional home to true lake lifestyle. Spend weekends cruising the water, enjoying sunset outings, or simply embracing the freedom of having your own place to launch from. Traditional European style, exceptional updates, and a perfect Lake Norman setting come together in this Sailview residence. This is more than a beautiful home, it is an invitation to live exceptionally.
