Our top pick for best indoor/outdoor living setup goes to this innovative and inspired oasis on Lake Norman.
Homeowners: Gretchen and Matt Ewers
The home: 5,527 square feet, 5 beds, 4 baths
Style in 3 words: Gracious, aspiring, enlightening
Biggest splurge and/or best investment: Home theater with six viewing bunks and 100-inch projector screen; 40-foot tower office with 300-degree lake views; custom garage; folding 9-foot aluminum clad rear doors for a 16-foot opening at upper terrace; marble accent walls; custom metalwork; integrated concrete pool and spa into covered lower terrace; and white oak flooring.
“We didn’t want to necessarily build a home but create a lifestyle space. The home is the vehicle to expanding your mind, body, and spirit. Building on the elevated lake lot allowed us to create floating spaces over land, air, and water. These spaces delight the eyes, refresh the spirit, and provide unlimited activities.” -Matt Ewers
