7980 Holly Court, Denver, NC

Situated at the terminus of a secluded, oak-shaded cul-de-sac within Denver’s Westport Peninsula, this brick residence represents a disciplined study in lakeside living. Built in 2001, the 5,255-square-foot home is architecturally centered around a voluminous great room where a soaring brick fireplace anchors a space framed by expansive glass. The five-bedroom, five-bathroom floor plan emphasizes main-level living, featuring a primary suite with a dedicated fireplace and a secondary en-suite guest wing. The lake level serves as a flexible environment, currently configured with a gym and office, while providing ample square footage for bespoke additions such as a golf simulator or private cinema. Outside, the property transitions to a private pier and a lakeside patio equipped with a swim spa. As the Denver submarket continues to see a stabilization in luxury pricing, opportunities for significant waterfront acreage with private maritime access remain a primary driver for regional appreciation. Private viewings may be coordinated through Peters & Associates.
