Enjoy the feeling of getting away to the lake without leaving Charlotte. Tucked away on a quiet, dead-end road, this renovated waterfront cabin offers the rare combination of lake living, privacy and convenience - approximately a 20-30 minute drive from Uptown, SouthPark and Myers Park. Renovated in 2022, the home features warm, whitewashed old-pine walls and ceilings that preserve the character of a true lake cabin while creating a bright, comfortable interior. The heart of the home is the large open Great Room, bringing together the kitchen, dining area, den, fireplace and bar into one inviting space. The home offers three bedrooms, two full baths and a dedicated laundry room. From the Great Room, step onto the large screened porch overlooking mature oak trees and the lake beyond. Sitting among the treetops, it's a wonderful place for morning coffee, dinner with friends or a quiet evening at the lake. THE DOCK A standout feature of the property is the large custom covered Trex dock designed for spending the entire day on the water. It includes a boat/pontoon lift, two Jet Ski lifts, a ceiling-mounted drop-down television and a spacious second-story deck overlooking Browns Cove. ADDITIONAL FINISHED SPACE Downstairs is a finished bonus room with a sliding glass door opening directly to a covered paver patio. A matching paver walkway leads toward the dock. The downstairs layout also offers the potential for adding a full bath. The lower level also includes a one-car garage with an epoxy-finished floor.

Dixie-Berryhill, located between Steele Creek and Lake Wylie, is a residential and industrial Charlotte neighborhood with a lakeside edge and a working-corridor feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the intersection of Steele Creek Road and Dixie River Road, where auto shops, small storefronts, and warehouse bays line the drive. Housing ranges from mid-century ranches to newer subdivisions, set against wooded pockets and utility-right-of-way greens. Lake Wylie access and nearby marinas shape weekends on the water. Car-dependent streets connect quickly to I-485 and the airport corridor. Local staples such as Dixie’s Tavern, Copper Premium Pub, and McDowell Nature Center & Preserve anchor the area’s off-hours rhythm.
