Some homes are built. This one was crafted. Tucked inside a prestigious gated community, this stunning 6-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom custom estate offers the kind of quality and thoughtfulness that's hard to find. Walls of windows bathe the main living areas in natural light, while 14-foot ceilings, wide-plank European white oak floors, and finishes that were clearly chosen with care. The gourmet kitchen features Cambria Quartz countertops and a hidden walk-in pantry wired for an additional oven, flowing effortlessly into the main living area where a fireplace with hand-selected tile surround anchors the room. Just beyond, the dining room impresses with board and batten wainscoting, a warm brass chandelier, and French doors that open directly to the courtyard. At the heart of the home, a fully enclosed private courtyard with brick pavers and French doors that bring the outside in. Just off it, the Courtyard Suite offers a private kitchen, separate entrance, and just enough distance from the rest of the house to feel like a getaway. The primary suite is generously oversized with a sitting area, a two-sided fireplace enjoyed from both the bedroom and the spa bath. Upstairs, a spacious living area built around a custom wet bar with stunning mirrored mosaic tile - the kind of space that gets used. Out back, a large covered patio with vaulted wood-beamed ceiling and a beautiful brick fireplace - peaceful, private, and made for relaxing. Two laundry rooms, dual tankless water heaters, commercial-grade AC, dedicated climate control for the primary suite, whole-home intercom, an oversized two-car garage plus a dedicated private garage for the Courtyard Suite. Nestled near the shores of Lake Lanier with quick access to charming downtown Flowery Branch, I-985, UNG Gainesville, and everyday conveniences - the best of North Georgia living. Bright, open, and completely one of a kind.
