127 Brightwood Court, Norwood, NC

Positioned on a premier double cul-de-sac within the gated enclave of Edgewater, this 2024 waterfront estate represents a rigorous study in contemporary glass and limestone architecture. The 8,183-square-foot residence is defined by twelve-foot ceilings and a structural floating staircase connecting three levels of curated living space. With five bedrooms and eight bathrooms, the layout prioritizes technical precision, featuring a Wolf and Sub-Zero kitchen supported by a full scullery and a temperature-controlled wine cellar. The primary suite offers 180-degree views of the water, while the lower level serves as a sophisticated venue for hosting, complete with a recreation room and a private zen garden. In the Norwood submarket, properties of this specific vintage and scale are increasingly rare, particularly those situated on expansive lakefront parcels that offer both privacy and deep-water access. This level of modern execution remains the benchmark for new construction in the region. Private viewings may be coordinated through Peters & Associates.
