1920 Marlin Drive, Lake Wylie, SC

Refined lakefront living finds a modern expression in this 2024 residence, situated on a full acre overlooking a deep-water cove on Lake Wylie. The architecture prioritizes the shoreline through a two-story great room and a glass-enclosed dining area, framing the private grounds and the extensive water infrastructure. Spanning 3,932 square feet, the interior features a primary suite on the main level and three additional bedrooms upstairs, complemented by a 2,600-square-foot unfinished basement that offers significant potential for bespoke customization. The exterior is designed for multi-generational utility, featuring a pool with integrated masonry, a gazebo, and a private dock equipped with a boat lift and dual jet ski slips. While the broader Charlotte market remains tight, the Lake Wylie submarket continues to command attention from those seeking substantial acreage and permanent deep-water access within a manageable commute to the city center. Private viewings may be coordinated through Peters & Associates.
