About the host
Hosted by Bradford C Barton
Hi! We are Brad & Dell Barton! We are originally from North Carolina but lived all across the country for many years working and raising our family. About 10 years ago, while still living in Pennsylvania, we found this lovely property for sale. We needed a place to land when visiting our family and friends in North Carolina. It was love at first sight! Despite the run down condition of the property, we knew this was THE one. The house had been built with loving care by the Earnhardt family in 1970 and we restored it the same. Every room and living space inside and out has been refurbished and updated, while still keeping the original lake house vibe. I hope we did them proud! About 4 years ago we retired and relocated to Denver, North Carolina to be closer to family and friends. And our lake house! So now we want to share our beautiful lake front property with you! We hope you love it as much as we do!
Sincerely, Brad & Dell
Sincerely, Brad & Dell
Why they chose this property
This property was built in 1970 by a local grocer and his family. When we purchased the home in 2012 it had fallen into disrepair and needed an overhaul. We love a project, and immediately went to work upgrading the property for our own family use. Everything from the floors, cabinets, walls, appliances, exterior, decks, porches, roof, pier and landscaping have been replaced and/or improved over the past 10 years. If you're looking to grab the feel of an original lake house home, and relax by the water with some of the best sunsets on the lake - you'll love it here, we promise! The newly covered deck has ample space for the whole family to enjoy. You can watch the many boats pass, including the historic Catawba Queen Paddle Boat, or The Lady of the Lake, or rent your own at one of the local marinas. There is ample dock space to park a boat and enjoy some of the lake activities directly. We recently installed a "Ring Doorbell/Camera" on the front door only. This allows us to monitor the front porch and driveway for security purposes. We hope you enjoy your stay here and come again soon!
What makes this property unique
This lake front home has tons of privacy, ample parking and cozy and comfortable bedrooms and living space. There are two interior gas fireplaces and an exterior fireplace located on the covered deck, plus a fire pit out on the patio. (You must provide your own firewood.) A gas grill on the deck makes outdoor cooking easy and accessible and plenty of tables and chairs makes alfresco dining inviting and fun! Beautiful, mature landscaping adds to the vintage charm. Come stay at one of Lake Norman's most authentic and charming homes!
