The classics only get better with time--and this Lake Gaston home was built with exactly that in mind. Set along Mile 13, surrounded by some of the most beautiful homes on the lake, the setting alone makes this property special. Pair that location with thoughtful design and deep-water shoreline, and you have the makings of a true legacy property. Originally designed for a large family seeking both full-time living and space to host friends and extended family, the home offers more than 4,700 square feet of finished living space with a primary suite on the main floor along with two guest rooms, sitting room, gathering areas, and flex spaces--mostwith lake views. An additional unfinished space of approximately 900 square feet provides opportunity for future expansion. Across the street, a vacant lot conveys with the property, offering additional privacy and potential for septic expansion, a guest cottage? Freshly painted interiors and exterior finishes reflect the home's enduring style and careful upkeep. Step outside and take in the views of Mile 13--known among Lake Gaston locals for wide main lake vistas, beautiful sunsets, and consistently deep water. Those views carry throughout the home especially from the A-frame screened porch, where lake breezes and long water views make the outdoors feel like an extension of the living space. At the shoreline, the double boathouse with sundeck offers plenty of room to gather and features the sought-after jump gate--perfect for this deep stretch of the lake. Located just 1.5 hours from Raleigh and under 2 hours from Richmond, the neighborhood is ideal for evening walks, quiet mornings, and the occasional deer crossing! Weekly short-term rentals are permitted, though a home like this may be one you decide to keep all to yourself.
