The front door tells you before the house does. The portico gives 52 Swallow Point its character right away — a proper entrance that sets the tone for everything inside. This is a home that was built for living well, tucked quietly into one of Big Canoe's most beloved lakeside neighborhoods, where the mornings start soft and the evenings belong to you. The great room is the heart of it. Open to the dining room and the freshly updated kitchen, it flows the way a mountain home should — effortlessly, generously, with room enough for the people you love most. Weekend brunches stretch into afternoon. Dinner conversations linger. The gas fireplace glows on cool mountain evenings, and nobody wants to be the first to leave. When the weather calls, the screened porch answers. With EZ Breeze windows that extend the season well into fall, this is where coffee happens in the morning and cocktails happen at dusk, with seasonal glimpses of the lake shimmering through the trees. Step out further to the deck and the awning changes everything — this isn't a deck you visit, it's a deck you live in, shaded and comfortable from morning through the last light of the afternoon. The woods wrap around you completely, and the mountain does the rest. The master suite on the main level offers the kind of retreat you come home to after a long day and exhale — a generous walk-in closet with its own washer/dryer hookup, a beautifully updated bath with double vanities, and the quiet that only a private mountain community can deliver. Two additional bedrooms on the terrace level give family and guests their own comfortable world, with 9-foot ceilings and a daylight basement that opens to the outdoors. The owners have loved this home thoughtfully. A new kitchen in 2024. New HVAC and hot water heater in 2019. New deck flooring. New landscaping. A freshened sidewalk and railing leading to the lower level. The kind of updates that tell you the next chapter can begin without a list of projects — just a moving truck and a sense of arrival. And then there's the neighborhood itself. Swallow Point sits close in — just over the Lake Petit dam and to the right — convenient to the gate yet quietly removed from the noise of the world. It is the kind of street where neighbors know each other's names, deer pass through at dusk, and the mountain makes itself known in every season. This is Big Canoe living at its most honest and most beautiful.
