Elegance, privacy, and exceptional upgrades define this stunning home with direct access to Lake Lanier. Nestled on over a half acre alongside the nature reserve and bordered by only one adjacent neighbor, this property offers the ideal peaceful setting.
From the moment you enter, refined details set the tone — a grand formal dining room with heavy molding and an arched entryway leads to a bright, open-concept kitchen featuring a walk-in pantry, breakfast bar, and a spacious eat-in area with tray ceiling. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the vaulted family room with a stacked stone fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and a dramatic wrought iron overlook from the upper level. A large deck, accessible directly from the kitchen, extends your living space outdoors for seamless entertaining.
The main-level primary suite is a true retreat with a deep tray ceiling, bay window, walk-in closet with natural light, and a luxurious bath offering a double vanity, a garden tub, and a separate tiled shower. A second bedroom on the main level includes its own walk-in closet and a full tiled bath. Upstairs, the main primary suite offers a private and luxurious escape, complete with its own newly installed electric fireplace. The fireplace is framed by an exquisite antique hand-carved mahogany mantel, circa 1890, soaring to an impressive 11 feet tall — a striking centerpiece of craftsmanship and elegance. The expansive en-suite bathroom features a large shower, a deep soaking tub, and an integrated walk-in closet, creating both luxury and functionality. In addition to the upstairs primary suite, there is another generously sized bedroom with a private en-suite — providing ample space for family or guests. The fully finished basement offers remarkable flexibility with a second full kitchen, a full-sized family room, a spacious bonus room, two large bedrooms (one with a walk-in closet), a full tiled bath, a newly added electric fireplace, and two large walk-in storage rooms. The basement’s fireplace features an antique oak mantel circa 1900, standing at six feet tall — a unique and character-rich focal point. Throughout the home, you’ll find new luxury vinyl plank flooring, freshly painted trim and cabinetry, and custom closets in two upstairs bedrooms. The formal dining room has been enhanced with newly installed brick flooring, while stylish updates throughout the home include four new crystal chandeliers, seven crystal pendant lights, six new ceiling fans, and all new exterior lighting. Additional improvements include a brand-new roof, a new upstairs HVAC system, and a full drainage system installed around the home’s exterior. Enjoy three fireplaces, soaring ceilings — including 12-foot ceilings in the basement — and thoughtfully designed spaces that combine function and elegance. Outdoor living is just as impressive, with a large deck, a beautiful stone patio, and a new six foot tall privacy fence in the backyard. With two primary suites, two full kitchens, stunning updates throughout, and direct access to the quiet side of Lake Lanier via your own private path, this exceptional property combines luxury, privacy, and location in a truly rare offering.
