About This Property

Move-in ready new construction home with Deeded Boat Slip #51 included!
This stunning home by Linville Luxury Homes in The Arbor at Lake James is now complete and ready for immediate enjoyment. Drawing on years of experience building multi-million-dollar custom homes, Linville delivers premium materials, superior craftsmanship, and luxurious finishes throughout.
The thoughtfully designed modern floor plan emphasizes outstanding energy efficiency, quiet comfort, and long-term durability. Standout construction features include a double-waterproofed solid concrete foundation, 2x6 exterior walls, Zip System wall and roof sheathing, James Hardie fiber cement siding, GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles with a 25-year warranty, R-38 open-cell spray foam in the roof deck, and R-19 fiberglass batt insulation in all exterior walls (including the garage). Additional upgrades feature Jeld-Wen premium vinyl windows, COREtec Originals 9" wide waterproof luxury vinyl plank flooring with Soft Step underlayment for warmth and sound reduction, quartz countertops, and low-maintenance Armadillo composite decking on the covered porch.
Nestled behind a gated entrance, The Arbor at Lake James is a premier active-lifestyle community offering miles of hiking trails, lakefront community space with direct lake access, a pavilion with a large fireplace, high-speed fiber internet, and optional boat storage for an additional fee. Deeded Boat Slip #51 (with power and water) is included with this property and scheduled for completion this summer, providing easy access to beautiful Lake James.
Step through the impressive 8-foot modern glass door into a spacious foyer that opens to a dramatic open-concept living area. Your eyes are drawn through the home to the large covered outdoor space overlooking the peaceful, wooded backyard.
The main-level family room features a spectacular vaulted ceiling, a sleek linear electric fireplace as the focal point, built-in cabinetry with floating lighted shelves, and a thoughtfully integrated 65" Samsung TV with Dolby Atmos sound bar. The gourmet kitchen boasts a Frigidaire Professional appliance package with 36" induction range, matching refrigerator, drawer microwave, quartz counters, and a large walk-in pantry perfect for a second prep area.
The convenient main-floor primary suite includes a tray ceiling, feature wall, glass door to the covered porch, and a spa-like bathroom with double sinks, zero-entry shower with custom glass enclosure and linear drain, freestanding tub with floor-mounted filler, and a large closet with custom wood shelving. A second main-floor bedroom offers private bath access (with pocket door), a feature wall, excellent lighting, and a Minka-Aire ceiling fan. The laundry room is thoughtfully laid out with a quartz shelf and ample cabinet storage.
The upgraded two-plus-car garage includes a Clopay Modern Steel Ultra Grain insulated door (R-19), a LiftMaster ultra-quiet belt-drive opener with myQ smart technology and battery backup, plus a premium Torginol Epoxy Flake coating on the floor.
Down the fully finished hardwood staircase, the versatile lower level features a second living area, kitchenette with full-size refrigerator, dishwasher and sink, a dedicated wine room with beverage fridge and custom lighted wine bottle rack, plus flexible space ideal for a gym, office, or additional living. This level includes two additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms with Minka-Aire fans and custom finishes.
Smart home touches include Ecobee Wi-Fi thermostats, Ring Pro 2 video doorbell, Ring Flood camera, Satco dimmable LED recessed lighting, and Panasonic Whisper Quiet bathroom fans. Other highlights: onsite well and septic, whole-home water filter, mechanical room with floor drain and smart home panel, and an oversize concrete driveway with auxiliary parking.
