4238 Bayridge Drive, Gainesville

Life on Lake Lanier has a rhythm all its own. From peaceful mornings on the porch to afternoons on the water to ending every day with the sun melting into the water - all from your very own back porch. Custom-built in 2022 and set on over an acre with the shoreline just steps away, this custom lakefront home was designed to capture the view from nearly every room. From the moment you enter, the lake immediately draws your eye through walls of glass and expansive slider doors that open to covered porches stretching across the entire back of the home, inviting you to slow down and stay awhile. This home was designed around the view and the lifestyle. The two-story vaulted great room, anchored by a 60" paneled gas fireplace and a dramatic custom wine wall, sets the tone for effortless entertaining. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed for gathering and features professional-grade appliances including a 48" Sub-Zero paneled refrigerator, a 48" dual-fuel 5 Star range, quartz countertops, and a generous prep and storage pantry. Whether hosting a holiday crowd or a casual weekend on the lake, this space functions beautifully. Glass sliders adjacent to the dining area enhance the fabulous lake views, leading out to a covered porch with an outdoor kitchen, perfect for cookouts after a day on the water. Outdoor living takes center stage with approximately 1,400square feet of covered porches across two levels - ideal for morning coffee, sunset dinners, bird watching, and tranquil lake views. The backyard extends nearly to the shoreline, offering the opportunity to maintain open views and even add a path for lake access if desired. And the boating life? It's easy here. Your deeded boat slip (#11, second from the end facing big water) is included with the property and maintained by the HOA. It is just a short golf cart ride from your front door- making time on the water part of everyday life. The main-level owner's suite is a retreat of its own, with sweeping lake views and direct porch access. The spa-inspired bath offers double vanities, a soaking tub, a separate tiled shower, and a spacious custom closet. A conveniently located laundry room adds to the thoughtful design. Upstairs, two private ensuites with walk-in closets provide comfort and privacy for family or guests, along with an expandable spray-foam insulated attic perfect for storage and ideal for future expansion. The terrace level was created for relaxed evenings and weekend gatherings. A bourbon bar with a sink, dishwasher, and refrigerator anchors the space, alongside a family room with an electric fireplace, office or exercise room, spacious guest bedroom, full bath, and a second laundry room. Glass sliders lead to the lower covered porch, perfect for extending the living space outdoors. All of this, just 10-15 minutes to Northeast Georgia Medical Center, the Olympic Rowing Venue, the Boathouse Event Center, I-985, and Gainesville's shopping and dining. This is more than a home, it's where life slows down, memories are made, and the lake becomes part of your everyday story.
