753 S Horsepen Dr, Harrells, NC, 28444

This Southern Colonial stands on Horsepen Lake within the gated enclave of Bay Tree Lakes, offering private-water living without sacrificing classic architectural presence. Approaching the house you’ll notice the symmetrical façade and a two-story foyer that sets the tone: a dramatic staircase, a Juliet balcony, and broad hardwood floors that run through the principal rooms. Pocket doors open to a refined home office trimmed with handcrafted dentil molding, built-in desks and custom cabinets — a thoughtful layout for remote work or a home study.

Entertaining is effortless here. The formal dining room is expansive and sits opposite the office, while the family room centers on a fireplace with gas logs, built-ins and a sightline to the water. The kitchen is built for serious daily life and gatherings: two islands, custom cabinetry, granite countertops and a large walk-in pantry give the space both form and function. Both the kitchen and family room open onto a covered lanai that overlooks the private pier and Horsepen Lake — a quiet setting to watch waterfowl and the sweeping sunrise over the open water.

Upstairs delivers options for every household. The secluded master suite reads like a private wing with a spa-style bath, soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, double vanities and a private dressing room with separate his-and-hers closets. The upper level also includes multiple bedrooms configured for flexibility — the listing describes two en-suite bedrooms plus additional bedrooms that share a Jack-and-Jill arrangement — and a versatile bonus room that can be media space, playroom or studio.

Bay Tree Lakes enhances the property with community-scale amenities: a resort-style pool overlooking Bay Tree Lake, a cabana and clubhouse, two boat ramps, a community pier, miles of canals, walking trails, a playground, and tennis/pickleball courts. Whether you’re fishing, kayaking, swimming or enjoying a slow boat ride between lakes, the setting supports an active, water-centered lifestyle. Meticulous interior details and the private waterfront setting make this Southern Colonial a rare opportunity to own a gracious home in a guarded, amenity-rich lake community.
