257 Lake Place Dr, Lavonia, GA, 30553
About This Home
Remarkable Lake Hartwell craftsman update with wooded lot, all on one level with private multi-slip dock just in time for spring at the lake and summer fun. A marvelous, beamed portico with water feature fountain welcomes you home and into your brand-new kitchen and reclaimed wood accents and the most awesome wood doors! This remodel is so well done with all new appliances, paint, easy to clean LVP flooring and a private garden in back and roll up door storage behind the 2-car garage for lake life toys and gardening supplies. On the lake there is room for swimming and picnicking and once out of the cove to the left is the Poplar springs boat ramp and to the right is Tugaloo State Park. This location is in very close proximity to Lavonia and I-85 yet feels woodsy and quiet and off the main roads and noise of Atlanta and only an hour or so away. Take the Lake Trail across from the driveway to your private multi-slip dock for all your lake life enjoyment. This is a special opportunity to have an affordable sweet home at the lake and your own boat slip to enjoy all the great fishing and entertainment that Lake Hartwell provides.
