Luxury French-European Estate in Walnut Creek Country Club

Set on a private, wooded 1.07-acre lot inside Walnut Creek Country Club, 710 Lake Shore Drive is a custom French-European estate built in 2010 by a licensed North Carolina general contractor as his own home. This Goldsboro luxury home offers 4,982 heated square feet, plus 1,008 square feet of pre-ducted expansion space, for nearly 6,000 square feet of potential living. With golf course access, lake views, and no HOA dues, it stands among the most distinguished residences in the Walnut Creek community.

The exterior makes a statement before you ever walk through the door. Handmade oversized brick, custom stone arches over every window, copper window caps, and a high-pitched architectural shingle roofline give the home its timeless European character. A newly resurfaced circular driveway, gas lantern entry, and stone-floored covered porches complete the arrival.

Inside, a 24-foot cathedral foyer welcomes you with dual wrought-iron Southern staircases, elegant columns, custom wainscoting, and museum-quality faux finishes. Throughout the home you will find massive three-piece crown molding, knotty white oak hardwood floors, and a level of millwork rarely found at this price point.

The chef's kitchen is built for entertaining, featuring Thermador, Jenn-Air, and KitchenAid appliances, a grand Old World cast-stone range hood, custom seeded-glass cabinetry, granite countertops, a large center island, and a custom stone backsplash. The adjoining cathedral great room anchors the main level with a floor-to-ceiling cast-stone fireplace, built-in bookcases, and a mirrored dry bar. A coffered private study with 12-foot ceilings offers a quiet home office or library.

The owner's suite is a true retreat, with inset custom cabinetry, a marble fireplace, a large walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired Italian marble bath complete with radiant heated floors and a six-foot Kohler air-bubble soaking tub. Each of the four bedrooms is generously sized with its own private bath, and the home offers four tiled walk-in showers with Kohler fixtures throughout. An optional 1,000-square-foot media room is already plumbed and wired for a bar, theater, or fitness studio.

Quality continues into every system: Jeld-Wen windows and mahogany entry doors with transoms, plantation shutters throughout, two premium Trane HVAC systems, a tankless Rinnai water heater, a Secure-Tek alarm, and a 200-gallon underground propane tank. Outdoors, the covered and open back porch with tongue-and-groove ceilings overlooks an expansive backyard with room to add a pool and pool house.

As a Walnut Creek Country Club resident, you have access to golf, lake recreation, tennis, and pickleball, all within an easy drive of regional employers and medical facilities. 710 Lake Shore Drive is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind custom estate in Goldsboro, NC.
