About This Home
Once in a lifetime. That phrase gets overused—but not here. Set on 4.55 acres of flat, fully usable, private land, this extraordinary estate delivers the rare combination of total seclusion and everyday convenience—just minutes from Matt Hwy, Publix, dining, and 10 minutes to Cumming City Center. **Completely reimagined just one year ago by Cherry Thorne Interiors**, this home was taken down to the studs and rebuilt with uncompromising attention to detail. The result is a refined, magazine-worthy residence that blends warmth, function, and elevated design at every turn. The main level is nothing short of stunning—anchored by wide-plank, light oak hardwoods and a bright, open-concept layout. The kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, statement lighting, and an oversized island designed for gathering. A scullery pantry straight out of HGTV dreams adds both beauty and function, keeping everything effortlessly tucked away. Flow seamlessly from the main living spaces to the screened porch and pool, creating the ultimate indoor-outdoor lifestyle. A thoughtfully designed friends’ entry with direct pool access makes everyday living and entertaining effortless. The primary suite on main is a private retreat, complemented by an additional main-level bedroom with ensuite bath, plus a stylish powder room for guests. Upstairs, you’ll find a spacious bedroom, full bath, and a versatile loft—perfect for a homework space, office, or teen hangout. The terrace level is truly next-level. Designed for both entertaining and extended stays, it features a full second kitchen, rec room, dedicated pool table space, a media room for Friday night movies, two bedrooms, and a large full bath—plus separate entrance and additional driveway, making it ideal for an in-law suite or long-term guests. Beyond the home, the property continues to impress with a detached oversized 3-car garage with finished office/bonus space above and private entry, a covered RV parking with its own drive, expansive parking options, Firepit, garden beds, and mature landscaping. The huge wraparound front porch that invites you to slow down and stay awhile and connects to the Dining Room for indoor/outdoor entertaining. Zoned for North Forsyth schools, this property offers the rare ability to feel completely removed—while being just minutes from everything. This isn’t just a home—it’s a lifestyle, a retreat, and an opportunity that rarely comes to market! Don't Miss!
