This luxurious Lake Lanier waterfront home will be the envy of your family and friends. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac with a long private drive leading to the wide point lot with over 240 feet of shoreline, this is a quiet and serene location combined with loads of lake fun. Including a 2-slip party deck 32'x32' (the largest permitted) dock in deep water just a short easy walk from the house, this lakefront dream is everything you have been waiting for.
From the renovated kitchen overlooking the lake to the open plan offering views from almost every location, this waterfront home is simply stunning. You may pinch yourself wondering if this is really where you get to wake up every morning.
The fabulous kitchen has been renovated with sparkling white cabinets to the ceiling, white stone countertops and modern appliances, but the most appealing feature is the panoramic lake view you will enjoy while preparing meals. The open floor plan offers a great space for entertaining while allowing the cook to remain part of the party. Bar seating keeps people “in” the kitchen without being in the kitchen, and the two story family room, keeping room and dining room are all open to the kitchen. You're going to love this floor plan!
The lakeside dining options include a spacious dining room with a natural wood tongue and groove ceiling, but the extensive lake view is what will completely wow guests. The glass wall opens to a spacious covered deck surrounded by 240 feet of Lake Lanier shoreline on the point. Stepping outside you land on a huge covered deck surrounded by nature and privacy on your point lot just a few steps from the two-level party deck dock. Additionally there is an uncovered deck perfect for a grille complete with a gas line connection for propane from the underground high capacity tank. The two-story great room is warm and inviting with a stone accented gas fireplace, astounding lake views, hardwood floors and open view to the kitchen. Rounding out the main level is a flex room that could be a terrific office or music room as well as a walk in pantry and laundry room. If you have to do laundry, shouldn't it be with a lake view?
With two master suites there is room for extended family and friends. The main level bedroom offers a lake view, hardwood flooring, 2 closets, a large tub and separate walk in shower as well as a double vanity. Upstairs is a very large second master suite with a dazzling lake view, walk in closet, double vanity and walk in shower. There is a spacious loft area that also offers lake views as well as a huge built in bookshelf space for a special lake view library or to display collectibles. On the opposite wing upstairs you will find another large bedroom with an en-suite bath, walk in closet and of course lake views!
The finished terrace level offers a unique workout room complete with a large dry sauna to relax. The second family room also has amazing lake views as well as a stone fireplace with gas starter. The kitchenette has a fridge, lots of cabinets and a sink and could easily be converted to a full kitchen for an amazing in-law suite. There are two additional bedrooms with lake views, a spacious full bathroom, and storage space.
The oversized 3 car garage includes oversized doors allowing for large vehicles and even off-season boat storage. The workshop space will wow you and still allow for 3 vehicles plus fun space. Not only is there a huge garage, but the long driveway offers a turnaround space and lots of parking for the many guests who will no doubt want to visit.
Other features include a newer roof with 50-year shingles, newer HVAC units on all levels, a fenced back yard, a stacked stone firepit and central vacuum system. Zoned for the highly rated East Forsyth High School this home would make a terrific full-time residence or weekend retreat close to Atlanta.
