244 Santee Road, Carthage, NC 28327

Be mesmerized by this 5 Bdr. 3783 sq' home on 225' of lakefront at Warrior Woods. This home has been thoroughly redesigned and artfully recreated for a peaceful, private, and awe-inspiring experience that changes throughout the day and through all 4 seasons of the year! The .88 parcel is heavily buffered on both sides leaving a jaw dropping lake view vista from all portions and levels of the home, as well as from the 2021 refurbished dock (treated yellow pine). The mosaic of this back yard view in the changing light scheme has a Monet like feel. Beyond the natural beauty and the front door of an original Frank Lloyd Wright color, is a prairie style home of tremendous function, utility, simplicity, and storage that is difficult to capture under one roof. Warrior Woods is a romantic walk back in time, but 244 Santee is conditioned and primed for the 21st century. The roof is new in June 2022. The main level heat pump is 2011. The two for the lower level are 2022 & 2016. There are endless living possibilities with 5 total bedrooms and 4 full baths. The owner/architect and his wife enjoy a love of contemporary/modern architectural design infused with a FLLW Prairie Style esthetic. During the metamorphosis of the residence, virtually every room or space was modified. In the end, the home became a relaxing refuge for the family, like being on vacation all year. The prairie design elements incorporated into the renovations, work together with the lakefront setting to create a sense of repose. The casual elegance and tranquility are difficult to accurately describe or photograph, it must be experienced to be appreciated. The lines of the main level of the home are a feast for the eyes with lake views from every room that go on as far as you can see. The kitchen features include white rift oak cabinetry & trim, Vermont butt joint slate flooring and Corian countertops. The living room is centered around the custom slate fireplace with white oak trim and rift & quartersawn white oak flooring. It serves as the helm of the ship and provides a front row seat to the expansive lake & the natural backyard environment. The Morning/Family Room sits at the far-left corner of the house off the kitchen and provides a cinematic journey of the property (front, back and side views) through an abundance of glass screening. The Master suite is civilized, peaceful and positioned at the far-right corner of the home. The European designed master bath defines understated elegance. The large walk-in tile shower and artistic lighting gives the bathroom a spa like feel. The lower level of the home is intelligently split between a living area, as an extension of the main home. It contains two additional bedrooms and a full bath as well as a spacious separate in law or guest suite apartment, complete with a full kitchen, full bath, and built-in bookshelves. There is a beautiful brick patio off the back side of the house. Lots of living space; lots of options; lots of storage! Warrior Woods lake is a spring fed lake of approximately 40+ acres, with five separate feeds. The main feed is from Reservoir Park. At its deepest point the depth is 15'. It offers great fishing (bass, catfish, creepy). Gas powered boats are not permitted.
