Discover the best of LAKE LANIER living in this beautifully updated lake home, perfectly suited for a full-time residence or your own private weekend retreat! Nestled in a peaceful cove on the northwest side of Lake Lanier, this property offers the best of both worlds: a quiet waterfront setting and a CENTRAL BOATING LOCATION with convenient access to popular on-lake restaurants and destinations. Enjoy lake views from the main living area, an exceptionally EASY, NEARLY LEVEL WALK TO THE WATER, and a PRIVATE DOCK featuring a COVERED BOAT SLIP AND UPPER PARTY DECK. Even with current lake levels well below full pool, the dock remains floating and accessible! Inside, the inviting main living area is designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. The spacious kitchen features stylish TWO-TONE CABINETRY with crisp white uppers, navy blue lower cabinets, and a coordinating center island with breakfast bar seating. Granite countertops, updated appliances, and hardwood flooring complete the space. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area and family room, where a beautiful stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace creates a warm and welcoming gathering space. This two-story home with a finished terrace level offers FOUR BEDROOMS PLUS TWO ADDITIONAL FLEX ROOMS, ideal for home offices, fitness spaces, hobbies, or guest accommodations. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with an upper deck, covered lower-level entertaining area, and a beautifully enhanced FENCED backyard featuring low-maintenance turf, a putting green, and an inviting FIREPIT surrounded by slate stone. A LIGHTED PATHWAY provides easy access to the water, completing this exceptional outdoor setting. The two-car garage has been transformed into a climate-controlled GAME ROOM, complete with a pool table, mounted TV, movie projector, refrigerator, and cabinets. The automatic garage door remains fully operational, allowing the space to easily transition back to traditional garage use if desired. SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE PAST YEAR! The current owners have invested in extensive upgrades, including new refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, kitchen faucet, washer and dryer, and water heater; new basement flooring; exterior painting and window repairs; new fencing and backyard turf; expanded covered outdoor entertaining space; enhanced firepit area with slate stone; stained upper deck; and a lighted pathway to the lake. The dock has also received substantial attention, including replacement boards and stairs, new edging and cleats, updated railings, gangway improvements, and fresh stain throughout. An added bonus: This home is being offered PARTIALLY FURNISHED, providing a wonderful opportunity to move right in and begin enjoying the Lake Lanier lifestyle! Located approximately 15 minutes from GA 400 and an easy drive from Atlanta, this home offers the ideal balance of peaceful lakefront living and everyday convenience. Cable and internet service are available, making it easy to work remotely while enjoying the lake lifestyle. Whether you're sipping morning coffee overlooking the water, gathering around the firepit, cruising to a waterfront restaurant, or entertaining friends on the dock, this home offers countless ways to embrace the Lake Lanier lifestyle!
