**Welcome to Lake Escape** — your ultimate retreat on the shores of Lake Norman. Tucked away in the woods and resting on beautifully landscaped grounds, this stately 7-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom colonial-style home offers the perfect balance of privacy, comfort, and upscale lakefront living. With over 5,200 square feet of thoughtfully designed interior space, a private dock, a game-filled basement, a home theater, and one of the rare private pools in the area, this home was built to entertain, unwind, and create lifelong memories. Whether you're planning a multi-family vacation or a company retreat, **Lake Escape** welcomes groups of up to 20 guests with open arms.
From the moment you arrive, the sweeping driveway and lush tree-lined entry set the stage for something special. Elegant brickwork and towering archways welcome you into a home that blends classic charm with modern amenities. Step inside to a warm glow of natural wood floors and sunlight streaming through tall windows. The grand living room opens up to the lake just beyond, drawing you toward the water and inviting you to slow down, breathe deep, and savor every moment.
The fully stocked kitchen is both functional and elegant, ready to host everything from a casual breakfast to a holiday feast. A Keurig and drip coffee maker ensure every guest gets their perfect morning start. The adjacent dining room offers the ideal space for celebratory dinners or cozy family meals, while the kitchen island and breakfast table provide a more relaxed gathering spot throughout the day.
Downstairs is where the fun really begins. The lower level unfolds into a sprawling game and entertainment hub—complete with a full second kitchen, plush living area, and space for friendly competition around the shuffleboard or foosball tables. Just off the game room is your private in-home movie theater. Settle into soft leather recliners, crank up the surround sound, and let the movie magic take over.
Two cozy bedrooms extend off this level—a king room with ensuite access, and a bunk room designed just for the kids. Upstairs, a peaceful loft offers another hangout zone with a TV and plenty of natural light—perfect for reading, catching up on work, or slipping away for a quiet moment. Along the hall, you’ll find beautifully appointed bedrooms with soft linens, calming décor, and spacious closets. The master suite is a true escape: a king-size bed, spa-style ensuite bathroom with dual vanities, dual shower heads, and a stunning garden tub made for relaxing.
Outdoor living at Lake Escape is just as unforgettable. Multiple decks offer breathtaking views of the lake and pool. The upper deck, connected to the kitchen and living area, is furnished with outdoor sofas and dining areas that make it easy to host alfresco meals or sip coffee at sunrise. Below, a large stone patio flows out from the game room and surrounds the sparkling private pool. Lounge, splash, or unwind while snacks are grilled and drinks are chilled at the full outdoor kitchen just steps away.
Evening brings new life to the lakeside. A tucked-away firepit surrounded by seating is ready for s’mores, stories, and stargazing. And when you're ready for lake time, your private dock awaits—complete with two tiers for lounging and launching. Swim, sunbathe, or set off for adventure on one of the included kayaks or paddleboards. The no-restriction zone of Lake Norman means you’re free to bring your boat, jet ski, or wakeboard and spend the day on the water. And with plenty of space for docking, there’s no need to go far—your water toys stay right at home.
Whether you're reconnecting with loved ones or simply hitting pause on the everyday, **Lake Escape** delivers an experience that feels effortless, luxurious, and entirely your own.
