Lake Norman Home for Sale: 8160 Waterford Dr, Stanley, NC

Some Lake Norman homes give you a sliver of shoreline and call it waterfront. This one gives you more than 220 feet of it.

Tucked into the sought-after King Cove neighborhood, this classic brick home delivers the rare combination so many people move to the lake hoping to find: wide-open water, long-range sunrise views, and the kind of everyday convenience that makes lake living feel effortless instead of remote. You’re within walking distance of Cowans Ford Country Club, so golf, tennis, pickleball, dinner, and a full social calendar are all just a stroll away.

Then there’s the lot itself. A block seawall anchors the property, steps lead right down into the water, and a deeded boatslip sits adjacent to the backyard – which means genuine, grab-your-towel-and-go lake access without the upkeep of a private dock. (Anyone who’s owned one knows exactly why that matters.)

Step through the foyer and the lake greets you immediately. The two-story great room is the heart of the home, filled with natural light from expansive windows and opening onto a huge deck overlooking a wide cove with main channel views – equally suited to a summer party or a quiet morning coffee while the water wakes up. The main level keeps things livable: a formal dining room, an office or living room, an updated kitchen with a breakfast area open to the great room, and a main-level primary suite framed by serene lake views.

Upstairs, you’ll find two more bedrooms, two full baths, and a flex room that easily works as a fourth bedroom. There’s also a large bonus room (or optional bedroom) with walk-in attic storage – the kind of space that adapts to whatever life throws at it.

It all adds up to a functional, welcoming floorplan in one of Lake Norman’s premier waterfront locations. Homes with this much shoreline and this little fuss don’t come along often around here.
