With major systems already handled—NEW ROOF (2 YEARS), NEW FURNACE (THIS YEAR), NEW DUCTWORK, NEW WINDOWS, AND RECENT PAINT INSIDE & OUT—you’re stepping into a home where the heavy lifting is already done. Set in a QUIET, SOUGHT-AFTER AREA WITH GREAT NEIGHBORS, this four-sided brick, single-story home offers both stability and flexibility. The NO HOA + NO RENT RESTRICTIONS combination makes it especially attractive for buyers looking to live in, rent out, or hold as a long-term investment.

Inside, you’ll find a blend of character and updates, including a RENOVATED KITCHEN AND BATH, CERAMIC TILE & HARDWOOD FLOORS, and a charming ORIGINAL CLAWFOOT TUB that adds timeless appeal. Insulated windows help with efficiency, while the layout keeps living simple and functional. Location ties it all together—convenient to schools, shopping, LAKE LANIER, the mountains, and an easy drive to Atlanta—making this a strategic buy whether you’re thinking lifestyle, investment, or both. Opportunities with this level of updates, location, and flexibility are getting harder to find.
