About this home

Welcome to Dockside at Songbird (former address 8024 Shipps Ln) — a turnkey Lake Norman waterfront escape - two bedrooms, two full baths plus an additional 367 sq ft finished bonus room above the garage (can convert to third bedroom with room for bathroom addition) - just in time for boating season - featuring serene lake views, abundant windows, granite countertops, solid hardwood flooring, composite decking hot tub and approx 120 feet of shoreline.

Perfectly positioned for the lake lover, this beautifully maintained home offers effortless access to boating, paddleboarding, and kayaking directly from your private dock, with water depth suitable for year-round boating. Whether you're cruising to waterfront restaurants or enjoying a quiet morning on the lake, this is the lifestyle that draws buyers to Lake Norman.

The exterior showcases a combination of HardiPlank siding and cedar shake accents, offering low-maintenance durability with timeless architectural appeal. Inside, a thoughtfully designed 1,247 sq ft, 2-bedroom, 2-bath open-concept layout is enhanced by solid hardwood flooring and granite countertops. The additional 367 sq ft finished bonus space above the garage provides the perfect setting for a private home office, media lounge, or creative studio. Abundant windows fill the home with natural light while showcasing serene lake views.

Step outside and the experience continues. The private dock, complete with a charming gazebo and swing, creates the perfect setting for hosting friends, relaxing in the evenings, or simply taking in the peaceful lake views.

Recent updates and features include a new roof (2023), HVAC (Feb 2025), Hague WaterMax whole-house filtration system, approximately 120 feet of shoreline riprap (2022), composite decking, and a Hot Spring Highlife therapeutic saltwater spa with lift cover offering privacy (2024), adding to the home’s comfort and relaxation.

It’s not just a home — it’s a place to gather, relax, and make lasting memories on the lake.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
