171 Grand View Dr, New London, NC, 28127

What first grabs you at 171 Grand View Drive is the view — long-range panoramas of Badin Lake framed from the living areas and screened porch of this fully furnished 1-bedroom park model. At just 385 square feet, the home is designed for easy living: an open living/dining footprint where meals and conversations share the same front-row outlook over the water. The kitchen is compact and practical, oriented so everyday prep still comes with a view.

Step through the exterior door onto a generous screened porch that extends your living space outdoors without the bugs, making it a perfect spot for quiet mornings with coffee or evening gatherings with friends. Storage and parking are plentiful here; the property has room for several vehicles plus dedicated space for a boat — a rare convenience for weekend lake-goers and full-time residents alike.

This home sits inside Badin Shores Resort, a gated lakeside community with features that read like a classic summer destination: waterfront boardwalk, clubhouse, putt-putt, basketball courts, playgrounds, a fishing pier, sandy beach and a marked lake swim area. That amenity set transforms a compact, low-maintenance home into a full-service lake lifestyle — recreational choices are steps away rather than a drive away.

Whether you’re looking for a turnkey weekend escape or a simplified year-round residence, this property delivers a low-fuss ownership experience with high recreational upside. The seller is offering the unit furnished, so much of the work of outfitting a lake home is already done. With excellent parking and lake access within the gated community, 171 Grand View Drive is an appealing entry point to Badin Lake living.
