The name is not just a pun. Take it to the Bank sits right on the banks of Lake Norman, with a private dock reaching out over the water and three stories of glass built to keep the view in sight. This is a genuinely private stretch of shoreline, the kind of place where mornings start with coffee on the covered patio and the occasional heron drifting past. Getting around is easy here. A private Savaria elevator connects all three levels, so no one has to miss out on the lake view or the shuffleboard table because of stairs. The primary suite sits on the main level with a king bed, an ensuite full bath, and its own slider out to the patio, so everything you need is on one floor. Just reach out to the AvantStay team before or during your stay, and we'll release the elevator key so it's ready when you arrive. The backyard does most of the heavy lifting. A heated pool anchors it, with a spa that spills over the edge in a steady sheet of water. When the sun drops, you have options: gather around the fire table, pull chairs up to the traditional fire pit down by the water, or stay under cover in the lounge area. The covered patio also holds a dining table for 14, so dinner happens outside more often than not. A gas grill sits ready on the back patio with propane provided, and two kayaks are available for paddling out from the dock once a quick liability waiver is signed. Inside, the main level opens wide. Vaulted, wood-beamed ceilings run over the living room, the chef's kitchen with its long island, and a dining table for 10, all facing walls of glass toward the lake. A shuffleboard table keeps the competitive streaks busy, a full laundry room handles the wet towels, and a half bath serves guests on this level. Upstairs, one bedroom holds two queens and another has a single queen, sharing a full hall bath. The lower level mirrors that setup with two more bedrooms of two queens each and their own shared full bath, bringing the total to five bedrooms sleeping 16 across three full baths and a half. Stairs and the elevator connect every floor. Beyond the property line, Lake Norman keeps things convenient. Restaurants and shopping centers are close by, so grocery runs and dinners out never eat into lake time. Most days, though, the hardest decision is dock, pool, or fire pit.
