Lakefront living finds its finest expression at 966 Mapleton Lane, a new construction residence in the Derbyshire community of Columbus, NC. Four bedrooms, two full baths, and two half baths are set against a backdrop of 5-inch red oak hardwood, custom shaker-style cabinetry and vanities, and a Marvin Elevate window and door package. GE Café appliances anchor the kitchen, while the living room centers on a 42-inch fireplace configured for either natural gas or wood. In the primary suite, a custom tile shower, freestanding soaking tub, and bespoke closet storage by Carolina Closets complete a retreat of quiet comfort. Outdoors, the covered rear deck draws the lake into daily life, finished in Trex decking with custom cable railing beneath a tongue-and-groove cypress ceiling. A flagstone front porch, crowned by a matching cypress ceiling, offers a gracious arrival, framed by professionally installed landscaping and a full irrigation system. LP SmartSide siding, stone veneer at the foundation, CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles, and custom 6-inch gutters with round downspouts give the exterior its enduring character. The three-car garage is appointed with epoxy-coated flooring and Haas doors with LiftMaster openers. Thoughtful practicalities follow throughout: custom closets by Carolina Closets, a GE washer and dryer, a Rinnai natural gas tankless water heater, generous attic storage, a fully encapsulated crawlspace with commercial dehumidifier, and a preinstalled generator connection. Water service is provided by Inman-Campobello Water District, complemented by an individual septic system and high-speed fiber internet through Windstream. A rare chance to pair the ease of new construction with the beauty of the lake
