A newly renovated home along the shores of Lake Norman carried Mecklenburg County's highest residential price tag in October when it sold for $5.4 million.
Originally built in 2006, the home on the 16100 block of Jetton Road features a contemporary design with an abundance of entertaining space and views of Lake Norman, according to its listing. It was renovated in 2020.
At 8,691 square feet, the home includes six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and two half-bathrooms.
The 0.9-acre lot boasts 160 feet of lake shoreline.
The home sold in early October for well above double its most previous sale price of about $2.17 million in November 2018, according to county real estate records. The property hit the market at just shy of $5.5 million in late August.
Liz Miller of Ivester Jackson | Christie's International Real Estate was listed as representing the seller, with Heather Gibbs of Dickens Mitchener & Associates representing the buyer.
It appears that deal marks the second-priciest residential transaction ever recorded in Canopy Multiple Listing Service for the town of Cornelius, following the $6.6 million sale last December of a mansion on Tinker Place that also fronts Lake Norman. Prior to that, the highest-priced home sale in Cornelius came in October of 2020, when an estate on Belle Isle Drive sold for $5.25 million.
