Property Description
LAKEFRONT LIVING AT ITS BEST IN CHESTATEE BAY ON BEAUTIFUL LAKE LANIER! This exceptional 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home offers year-round lake views, a gentle walk to the water, and a private double-slip dock (32'x28') with party deck,electricity and 2 jet ski ports included. Even with Lake Lanier approximately 5.25 feet below full pool right now, the dock offers approximately 10 feet of water at the end of dock. Situated on a beautiful .58 acre partially fenced lot, this property offers the perfect blend of comfortable living, incredible outdoor entertaining, and easy lake access with no HOA. The main level features a vaulted Great Room with a masonry fireplace, an open-concept eating area, and a Chef’s Kitchen complete with granite countertops, new appliances, and beautiful Acacia plank flooring. The spacious Primary Suite is conveniently located on the main level and features an updated bath with an expansive shower equipped with dual shower heads, double vanities, and a relaxing soaking tub. The terrace level provides two additional bedrooms, a full bath, laundry room, Media/Rec Room, and custom Wet Bar, with the potential to easily expand into a full downstairs kitchen. The oversized walk-up attic provides abundant storage and could be finished into a bonus room, office, or additional living space. There are also stairs that lead to a huge attic room over garage that could be finished into an office or additional living area. Outdoor living is truly exceptional, beginning with the full-length rear deck and screened porch overlooking the lake and backyard with Stone Firepit. Step down to the remarkable flagstone patio featuring a custom-built outdoor kitchen with two built-in Big Green Eggs (one XL and one small) plus a built-in Blackstone grill. Beyond the patio, the gently terraced backyard leads to a stone firepit, creating the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying cool evenings by the lake. The front yard is fenced, with the fence extending around the right side of the home, and a wooden storage shed remains with the property for added convenience. A 2-car attached garage provides excellent everyday functionality and storage. The roof is only 3 years old, offering additional peace of mind. Located in desirable Chestatee Bay with amazing Forsyth County schools, this location is second to none.
