Updated Lakefront Home w/great outdoor space and private dock, Sleeps 12.
Modern yet elegant; spacious yet comfortable; the Hydrangea House is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 4000 sq. ft. lakefront home on deep water with 180-degree lake views, fenced in back yard, and spectacular garden areas offering nearly year-round blooms! Recently renovated including a very well appointed chef's kitchen and new furnishings, the Hydrangea House sleeps 12 and is perfect for two families or one large family to enjoy all that Lake Norman and the Mooresville area have to offer. This home features large, open concept entertaining areas both upstairs and downstairs with 10-foot ceilings throughout offering lake views from almost every room. The outdoor space is professionally designed and landscaped offering tremendous blooms. The blue hydrangeas--the best on the lake!--showcase this home's unique features and bring beauty to the property.
Hydrangea House is located on a wide, deep, calm water cove. Perfect for swimming, kayaking, and all water sports. Direct quick access to the main channel with no low bridges to contend with. The location is perfect for beautiful sunset toasts on the dock or take your boat to the end of the cove for arguably the best sunset view in North Carolina. Or, if you want to take a quick stroll, access the county park down the street for all sorts of family hiking and picnics.
Located off Brawley School Road on the peninsula, Hydrangea House is very close to Mooresville shopping, dining, and conveniences without having to sit in brutal traffic on route 150. This home is located on a quiet street within an established, upscale, wooded neighborhood. Enjoy bike riding, walks, or a morning run through the neighborhood without much traffic (25 MPH speed limit).
The modern kitchen boasts professional Wolf gas cooktop, Subzero fridge, 48-bottle wine cooler, plenty of cabinet and meal preparation space, brand new cookware, and just about anything else a family would need from the Keurig coffee maker to the Crock pot and Nutribullet. The kitchen bar seats four comfortably while the adjacent dining room seats up to eight. Step outside the kitchen door to the natural gas stainless steel grill (no last minute propane fill ups needed) and multi-level deck overlooking Lake Norman. The outdoor dining area is perfect for the whole family for any meal.
The adjoining living room, with 12-foot ceilings, features amazing panoramic lake views at any time of year, 65” smart TV, sound system, and fireplace. For those who insist on working while on vacation, a dedicated office with professional desk, ergonomic chair, large dual computer monitors, and a printer are available for use during your stay. The entire house is served by fast WiFi service, great for streaming movies, video conference calls, and gaming on several devices.
The fenced in backyard and fire pit will be an evening hit to relive the glory days and roast s’mores. Bring your boat and jet skis (there is a huge boat ramp in the neighborhood) then dock at Hydrangea House for the duration of your stay. Rent a boat or jet skis from one of the local marinas, they’ll deliver right to Hydrangea House (we can make recommendations). 2 Kayaks, 2 paddle boards, Lily Pad floating mat (kids love it!) and other water toys and yard games are included for guests to use. The dock is located in a no wake zone and is great for swimming, with ladder access from the water. You can also get to many waterfront restaurants and islands on the lake within a 10-20 minute boat ride.
Bedroom #1 features a new king-size bed with direct access to a large private deck with 180 degree lake views. Double vanities, dual rainfall shower heads with body sprayers, and heated floors await you in the master bathroom. A large whirlpool tub with two windows overlooking the lake can help anyone unwind. A walk-in closet provides plenty of storage for guests.
Further down the hall a full bath with shower/tub is just outside bedroom #2 which is equipped with a new queen sized bedroom set and smart TV.
Rainy nights will pass quickly in the 2nd living room with 82” smart TV, full surround sound, and gaming table for poker, puzzles, or board games. There is also a 2nd “half” kitchen/laundry room downstairs with new full size fridge, microwave, plenty of counter space along with a Samsung washer/dryer. Don’t worry about ice for your coolers, the commercial restaurant ice-maker can supply over 50 pounds of ice each day.
Well-appointed bedroom #3 features a king-size bed, with double door walkout to an outdoor patio with excellent lake views and access directly to the firepit and lake.
The kids will enjoy the bunk room, bedroom #4 with space for up to 6 kids with a full-size bunk set and a twin-size bunk set. They’ll have their own gaming area and smart TV as well.
The big kids game room features ping pong, 2- player basketball Pop-A-Shot, and ample room to relax and take in more lake views.
Need to escape for an hour? Each bedroom is equipped with a smart TV to catch up on your favorite shows.
The home is fully stocked with dishes, utensils, high-end cookware, new small appliances, spices, bath towels, linens, and pillows. Bring your own toiletries and beach towels.

Perfection!!
The house and lake front location was absolute perfection! Honestly, the week felt like a dream! We fished from the dock everyday. My son caught a 10lb catfish! We enjoyed a Charlotte Hornets game one evening. The firepit was perfect for s’mores, the game room was perfect to keep two teen boys entertained and the house had everything we could possibly need and more! I can’t wait to go back!

This house is a great place for a getaway. We gathered for Christmas and it was so nice to be greeted by three Christmas trees in different rooms of the house, along with exterior holiday lights!. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit, kayaks and a paddleboard. Nice streets around to go for long walks.

2024 Thanksgiving
Hydrangea House was our chosen location for Thanksgiving and College Football Rivalry Week. Awesome property with many public and private spaces to share time together. Pet friendly was an absolute for us and layout of the lot and the surrounding fence with cross fences and gates was a complete welcome surprise. We also enjoyed an evening at the fire pit. Gorgeous views of the lake, a nice warm fire on a chilly night while surrounded by family and friends was also an uncommon treat for us.
We utilized the well appointed professional kitchen and also used the gas grill during our stay. Everything functioned flawlessly and at the high level you would expect from such premium appliances.
The public spaces are all appointed with large flat screen TVs and enough comfortable couches to accommodate all of us.
Our host was extremely kind , accommodating, and quick to respond A+ all the way around.

A much needed respite
We booked this place with some friends after evacuating Asheville because of Hurricane Helene. We were amazed that such a lovely place not only allowed dogs, but had a wonderful fenced in yard for them. Generally very comfortable with almost everything we needed. Some (very small) points of feedback for the hosts- the kitchen could use a few more dish towels and needs a cheese grater! Two of the bedrooms would benefit from a bedside table with a reading light. Great location, wonderful standup paddle boards, really easy and clear check in procedure. We really enjoyed our stay!

Lovely week at Lake Norman
Family from 3 states gathered for fun on the lake. The house is beautiful and well maintained. Kitchen is well equipped. Kayaks and paddle boards are in great shape. Landscaping is very pretty. All in all, a lovely home. The only challenge we had was trying to have dinner together. The house is listed as sleeping 12. We had 7 adults plus a toddler. With 2 “dinner guest” family members (who stayed elsewhere).you can’t put 9 in either the dining room or at the outside table. We improvised and managed fine but just good to know if you’re really going to have a full house.

Superb home and vacation rental.
My family and I were looking for the ultimate vacation home on the lake that we could really unwind from our bustling city life and not have to leave. The hydrangea house was exactly what I envisioned a beautiful lake home to be. The description, views and photos portray the home accurately. It’s a great layout and gives everyone their own space. The location was ideal, not too remote from shops and the interstate. We enjoyed every minute at the house even on rainy days we escaped to the game room and had plenty of entertainment. If you’re looking for the perfect getaway home to relax and enjoy the lake this is it!

Perfectly relaxing gathering
We had a fantastic experience during our multi-generational gathering at this lovely home. The property was immaculately clean, requiring us only to stock up on groceries. Conveniently located near Publix, Target, and Sam’s Club, it made our shopping trips hassle-free. Our family members traveled from four different states, and the nearby airport was a great convenience for all. Despite one of my daughters having to work, she was able to set up her office in the house and had everything she needed.
We enjoyed picturesque morning walks in the beautiful neighborhood, where friendly neighbors and deer greeted us. Most of our days were spent on the lake, using the kayaks and tubes for relaxation. Evenings were filled with cozy campfires and delicious s’mores. Our 8-night stay was absolutely perfect, and we are already looking forward to returning in the future.
