AFFORDABLE! And now the seller is ALSO offering $2,500 for the buyer to use at closing as buyer wishes - toward a rate buydown?, toward closing costs? to add a personal touch? - buyer can choose how to use it. New price reduction, too, and this is a GREAT VALUE! This beautiful Lake Norman penthouse condo was just repriced, and is now under 350,000! You will LOVE the extra-high ceilings that you can ONLY get on the top floor. It makes the living space feel so bright and spacious! Fantastic location - close to practically everything you could want, including the Admirals Quarters amenities; Lake Norman access; the Cornelius restaurants, shops, parks, fitness centers; Birkdale Village; and just a few minutes in 2 different directions to hop on I-77. You will love sitting on your large covered deck looking out over the beautiful community pond with fountains and the community pool area, which is just close enough to easily enjoy it, but just far enough that you won't be worried about noise. Your HOA budget doesn't need to take costly elevator maintenance into consideration, helping to keep dues lower! Plenty of opportunities to enjoy the area ...

Feel like a quick bite and/or entertainment at a local restaurant / hot spot? - be there in about 3-5 minutes! Many of the area highlights are accessible on foot or by bike.
