About this home
PHENOMENAL WATERFRONT HOME on LAKE TRACE!
Welcome to your very own lakefront retreat, perfectly positioned on a little private peninsula in the highly sought-after Hidden Lakes POA within Carolina Trace. This stunning 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers incredible 180-degree big-water views from a brand-new 25' deck overlooking the 315-acre Lake Trace — perfect for boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, or simply soaking in the sun.
Step inside to a warm and inviting open-concept living area featuring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and gleaming hardwood floors. Soaring windows fill the space with natural light and frame breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding woodlands. The spacious kitchen is conveniently located off the 2-car garage, making unloading groceries a breeze.
The main-level offers a half bath, a primary suite that provides comfort and privacy with lake views and an ensuite bath. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a versatile flex space ideal for a home office, gym, or play area.
Relax year-round in the oversized sunroom — the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine while taking in panoramic lake views. The roof was replaced in 2021, providing added peace of mind.
Residents of Hidden Lakes enjoy exclusive amenities including a private bass fishing lake, pavilion, swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, paddleboard access, and marina. As part of the larger Carolina Trace community, you'll also have access to two Robert Trent Jones Sr.-designed championship golf courses, a clubhouse, additional pools, and more.
Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, vacation home, or entertainer's dream — this lakefront gem checks every box. Don’t miss your chance to live the lake life! Check out the 3D tour.
