Property Description
Forget the "cookie-cutter" lake houses or huge remodel endeavors & discover a lakeside sanctuary where vintage vibes meet contemporary comfort. This isn't just a home; it's a front-row seat to the best of Cumming and the vibrant social scene of Lake Lanier. Whether you're commuting 10 minutes to grab essentials or cruising 10 minutes to grab a cocktail, everything is within reach. Nestled in a quiet, deep-water cove, perfect for paddleboarding or swimming with quick access to the main channel for boating, this unique, one of-a-kind Lake Home is located on the highly coveted south end of Lake Lanier. If you've been looking for a home that has actual personality—without sacrificing convenience—this is the one, the ultimate blend of "cool" and "comfortable"! From the sun-drenched interiors to the park-like backyard (with COE grass permit) and effortless walk to your single-slip party dock, every inch of this property is designed for those who want to live the lake life immediately. And the "party dock" setup offers extra space for lounging and entertaining. The transition from indoors to out is seamless, offering a backyard experience that feels more like a private nature preserve. No shortage of wildlife & serenity with a lush park-like backyard where deer and local wildlife saunter by daily and a bird-lovers paradise! The open-concept kitchen and living area flows seamlessly onto expansive decking—perfect for morning coffee, bird watching or winding down with sunset cocktails or dining with friends and family. As the sun sets, head to the custom fire pit area for s'mores, cocktails, or even outdoor movie nights under the stars. SUITE RETREATS: Each of the three spacious bedrooms features its own private ensuite bathroom, providing a true "suite" experience for family and guests alike. THE FLEX BASEMENT: A massive finished lower level currently serves as a home office and media/game room—perfect for the remote professional, family game night or movie marathons. THE SOCIAL SCENE: Forget the car—your weekend starts on the water. From your private dock, you are perfectly positioned to enjoy the lake's iconic "boat-in" culture: Hop on the boat and cruise to Pelican Pete's (the lake's only floating tiki bar) or LandShark Bar & Grill at Margaritaville for world-class cocktails and tropical vibes. LIVE MUSIC: Catch local artists performing live sets at The Twisted Oar, Pig Tales or Smokey Q's (right around the cove), where the music carries across the water as you dock and dine. SUNSET COCKTAILS: Enjoy the "Lake Lanier Happy Hour" at nearby marinas, then cruise back to your quiet, deep-water cove and finish the night relaxing on your dock as the sun dips below the tree line. UNBEATABLE LOCATION & CONVENIENCE: Just 10 minutes to Costco, Target, the premier dining/shopping at Market Place Blvd. and the new City Center in downtown Cumming. Convenience has never looked SO good. UPGRADES GALORE: Fully remodeled over the last five years with all new Kitchen appliances, bath & light fixtures, new driveway & walkway, professionally landscaped @ sidewalk with landscape lights, remodeled front porch, all new hardwoods on main level & upstairs, Luxory Vinyl Plank flooring in Basement, newly painted exterior, added gas line for new double oven gas stove & tankless water heater, HUGE kitchen island with all new quartz countertops, painted kitchen and bathroom cabinets, and so much more! MOVE-IN READY: premium finishes throughout, ensuring your first weekend is spent on the boat, not on a renovation.
