Architectural Narrative

You asked for it-And here it is! This architecturally striking new construction home, built by Cape Custom Homes, sits on an expansive half acre water view lot helping you experience 3800 sqft of Main level Ranch-style living with almost 1200 sqft of additional upstairs living. The home resides along a stretch of Rio Oro Drive experiencing a transformation through new luxury residences, with an opportunity to enjoy sophisticated lake-area living with the neighborhood's private waterfront lake access lot-giving access to its own dock/pier, picnic area, and launching your favorite water accessories. This residence showcases a refined combination of natural stone, stucco, architectural wood accents, and dramatic rooflines. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings, expansive windows, and carefully curated finishes. The heart of the home is a spectacular chef's kitchen featuring a complete Monogram luxury appliance package, including a professional-grade 48-inch range, a 48-inch refrigerator, an oversized 11-foot island, custom cabinetry, and a separate scullery that provide an exceptional setting for entertaining. For a seamless indoor-outdoor living, there’s an impressive 20-foot sliding glass wall connecting the main living spaces to the expansive covered porch and resort-inspired backyard. Designed for entertaining and year-round enjoyment, the outdoors features include a swimming pool, generous stone terraces, and a covered outdoor kitchen and bar. The versatile main level floor plan offers a Primary Suite-perfect for a peaceful retreat and two additional bedrooms with private ensuite baths. There is also the flexibility of a sixth bedroom, including a private guest wing featuring a dedicated full bathroom, closet, and separate exterior entrance. Ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, or a private fitness studio, this thoughtfully designed space offers exceptional flexibility and privacy. Upstairs provides two additional bedrooms with ensuite baths, and a spacious recreation room complete with a dedicated bar creating an additional space for entertaining and relaxation. Additional highlights include a three-car garage, generous storage, a comprehensive whole-home audio/visual system, custom architectural details, and thoughtfully inspired spaces throughout. Combining distinctive architecture and beautiful Lake Norman views, 21505 Rio Oro Drive offers a unique opportunity to experience elevated luxury living in one of Cornelius's evolving lakeside neighborhoods.
