Description

Tucked quietly into one of Cary's most desirable lakefront communities, this one-of-a-kind residence at Lochwood Drive is a true architectural masterpiece designed by Frank Harmon and built by Hardin Sigmon. From the front, the home offers a sense of understated cottage-like charm--but step inside, and it unfolds into a breathtaking retreat that fully embraces its spectacular lakefront setting.

Perfectly positioned on a private lot along Lochmere Lake, the rear of the home is nothing short of stunning. Expansive outdoor living spaces including a large deck, screened porch, lower-level patio, and a beautifully designed courtyard create seamless indoor-outdoor living. A newly replaced private dock (2023) invites you to enjoy tranquil water views and unforgettable sunset reflections, while a firepit and lush, professionally designed landscaping complete the resort-like setting.

Inside, the home is defined by its distinctive custom design, soaring ceilings up to 14 feet, and abundant natural light from its east-facing and multiple exposures in every main living space. Rich finishes include wide-plank oak flooring, custom walnut cabinetry, and thoughtfully integrated high-end features throughout. The chef's kitchen is appointed with premium appliances including Sub-Zero, Bosch, and Dacor, along with updated quartz countertops and custom storage solutions.

Designed for both comfort and efficiency, the home incorporates eco-friendly elements such as geothermal HVAC, passive solar design, top of the line Andersen windows, enhanced insulation, and lake-fed irrigation delivering both sustainability and low utility costs. Modern conveniences abound, including a whole-house generator, Sonos surround sound, Lutron lighting controls, central vacuum system, and smart storage features like a built-in laundry chute.

The luxurious primary suite offers direct access to the lakefront deck, a spa-like bath with multi-head shower, and a custom walk-in closet. Additional living spaces include a private office, guest suites, a finished lower level with wet bar and lake views, and flexible rooms for exercise or additional accommodations.

Located just steps from greenway trails and a short walk to neighborhood pools and tennis, this home offers a rare combination of privacy, design, and lifestyle.

This is more than a home--it's a lifestyle experience. And while it may not reveal itself at first glance, the view from the back will leave a lasting impression.
