Welcome to your lake retreat in the sought-after Pinehaven Estates community at beautiful Badin Lake! Built in 2023, this nearly new home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort, low-maintenance living, and incredible access to some of North Carolina's most popular outdoor destinations—making it an exceptional full-time residence, weekend getaway, or income-producing Airbnb/VRBO opportunity. Thoughtfully designed for today's lifestyle, this home features an encapsulated crawl space for enhanced energy efficiency, moisture control, and long-term durability. Inside, you'll discover a bright, open floor plan highlighted by custom cabinetry, granite countertops, tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and a spacious center island that anchors the kitchen—perfect for entertaining family and guests after a day on the lake or trails. Originally built as a 3-bedroom home, the current owner transformed the third bedroom into an oversized walk-in closet, creating a luxurious owner's retreat. With an acceptable offer, the seller is willing to convert the space back to a true third bedroom—each bedroom complete with its own closet—providing flexibility for additional guests, rental potential, or a home office. Outdoor living is equally inviting with a charming covered front porch ideal for morning coffee, a side deck ready for grilling, and a fenced backyard perfect for pets or play. Two storage buildings provide ample space for lake toys, tools, outdoor gear, or hobby space, while generous parking easily accommodates guests, boats, campers, or multiple vehicles. Residents of Pinehaven Estates enjoy access to a community swimming area and boat ramp, with an optional HOA that keeps costs low while still providing valuable amenities. Adventure awaits just minutes away! Spend your days boating, fishing, kayaking, and swimming on Badin Lake, or explore nearby Uwharrie National Forest, renowned for its scenic hiking trails, horseback riding, camping, mountain biking, and nationally recognized ATV/OHV trail system. Morrow Mountain State Park, local wineries, and charming small-town destinations further enhance the area's appeal for vacationers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Conveniently located approximately one hour from Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and Pinehurst, this property offers the perfect balance of privacy, recreation, and accessibility. Whether you're searching for a peaceful full-time residence, a weekend escape, or a profitable short-term rental investment, this nearly new home offers an exceptional opportunity to experience lake life and outdoor adventure at its finest.
