About This Property
Welcome to 21101 Island Forest Drive, a fully renovated west facing waterfront home offering exceptional value in Cornelius. Located in the highly sought after Island Forest community, this property captures panoramic sunset views across Lake Norman and delivers the kind of waterfront lifestyle that's becoming harder to find. This ranch with a walk-out basement has been completely re imagined with an open-concept layout that removes walls, vaults the main living spaces, and fills the home with natural light while maximizing the lake views. At the center of it all is a beautifully remodeled kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, premium appliances, a gas range, and an oversized island that flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas. Nearly every inch of the home has been updated with new flooring throughout, fresh paint, wrapped beams, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with new insert, remodeled bathrooms, custom stair treads, finished storage beneath the staircase, a new mudroom, updated laundry room, and a redesigned primary suite complete with a custom walk-in closet. Step outside and you'll quickly understand what makes this property special. The expansive lakeside deck and patio was built for entertaining with an outdoor TV, fire pit, hot tub, and some of the best sunset views Lake Norman has to offer. Outside, you'll also find a whitewashed brick exterior, expanded front porch, new front door, concrete driveway and rear patio, professional landscaping, new backyard fencing, and a storage shed. The only project left is the dock, giving the next owner the opportunity to design a setup that fits their boating lifestyle while enjoying the peace of mind that virtually everything else has already been done. All that will be left is to enjoy the Lake! If you've been waiting for a move in ready waterfront home with incredible views, thoughtful updates, and one of the best locations in Cornelius, 21101 Island Forest Drive Delivers.
