About This Home
So rarely does a Lake Lanier property come along that checks every box — this is one of them. Positioned to capture wide-open sunset views, the home offers a front-row seat to Fourth of July fireworks over Laurel Park, with a setting that feels both elevated and earned. A paved cart path leads to a deep-water dock, with the Corps line just steps from the water's edge — an increasingly hard-to-find combo. Taken down to the studs and fully renovated in 2018, this mid-century modern home pairs timeless architecture with thoughtful, high-quality updates. Natural light pours through expansive windows, pulling lake vistas into nearly every room. Hardwood floors run throughout, and the open layout serves both entertaining and everyday living, with two separate living areas offering expansive flexibility. The spacious kitchen serves extensive custom cabinetry and ample workspace. A few steps above the main level, the oversized primary suite offers a private retreat with lake views to greet each morning. Custom-built closets and beautifully finished tile baths reflecting attention to detail and smart storage integrated at every turn. The basement level adds a dedicated office and additional living space. A light-filled sunroom delivers valuable flex space — additional sleeping space, a home gym, reading room, or quiet escape — perfectly framed by sparkling water reflections. Outside, multiple decks offer recreation for all occasions, a fully fenced backyard accommodates pets and play, and mature landscaping enhances privacy and curb appeal. The attached two-car garage and a detached shop offer exceptional storage for vehicles, lake toys, and gear. Additional upper-level parking and dedicated trailer parking round out this well-planned property. Lake-fed irrigation adds meaningful cost savings year-round. End your days by the firepit as a true nod to the Lake Lanier lifestyle. No HOA, minutes from Lake Lanier Olympic Park, Limestone Parkway, and everyday conveniences. Whether full-time residence or weekend retreat, this abode delivers everything you want and need.
