Step into a no-carpet home with expansive hardwood floors, shiplap and beamed ceilings, and two light-filled family rooms, one large, one quaint. The custom Kraftmaid maple eat-in kitchen is inviting and practical, centered around a large island that's perfect for meal prep and conversation. The primary suite offers a spacious, peaceful retreat, complete with a modern fireplace/entertainment center and a spa-style ensuite. The secondary bedrooms are ample for twin or full beds, offices or craft areas. The terrace level was designed for fun movie nights in the theater area with raised floor, game days in the rec space, and gatherings around the kitchenette. Plus there are several other flex spaces for bunks, a bedroom, office or hobby areas. Plus a storage area with a utility sink. The stained and scored concrete floors look like tile and add to the easy-care appeal. More than 1,500 sq. ft. of outdoor living awaits across multiple spaces: a Trex back deck, rocking chair front porch, screened porch, oversized breezeway, fire pit, and a dedicated grilling patio. A drivable, gently sloped path makes it easy to take your golf cart down to the water, where a deep-water single-slip dock with party deck sits tucked into a private cove. While the cove may see activity, your property itself offers a quiet, secluded feel. From the dock you'll enjoy good water depth and easy access for swimming, kayaking, or boating. Seasonal (winter) views of the lake from the home remind you just how close you are to the water year-round. The .75 acre lot provides ample space lawn games and/or RV parking and only takes about 35 min to cut on your riding lawnmower. Hobbyists will love the extras , a greenhouse for gardeners, a 250 sq ft heated accessory structure with a utility sink and quarter bath that could be the perfect workshop or she-shed, and a 950 sq ft oversized three-car garage tall enough for a lift. With plenty of level yard space, you even have room to add a pool near the workshop, which could double as a cabana. Located in Forsyth County, you're close to GA-400, Cumming City Center, shopping, dining, and Six Mile Creek Park, and just a short boat ride to Port Royale and Pelican Pete's. If you've been looking for a lake home that feels personal and thoughtfully cared for, not just another lake house, and all under $1 million, this one deserves a private tour. It may be the perfect fit for your next chapter on the lake.
