Nestled within one of Lake Lanier's premier gated communities, this architecturally distinctive home offers Beautiful lake and mountain views, exceptional craftsmanship, and a fully finished terrace level! Arrive to stunning curb appeal defined by a circular driveway, whitewashed brick, board-and-batten siding, warm wood detailing, and dramatic gabled rooflines lit by lantern-style fixtures. Double wrought-iron doors open to a bright, refined foyer with custom wood trim and a wrought-iron staircase, with immediate sightlines to a German-schmear stacked-stone fireplace crowned by a wood-beam mantel. The rich stonework continues into the kitchen, anchoring the home's cohesive, textural design throughout. Thoughtfully placed hidden doors add a layer of sophistication - one leading from the family room, another concealing a well-appointed butler's pantry with generous storage, a wine and beverage fridge, and a dedicated sink with glass rinser. The open-concept main level flows through a dramatic two-story dining area, a welcoming family room, and a flexible office or fitness space, all punctuated by a designer powder room with statement tile. The chef's kitchen is equal parts beauty and function, featuring custom matte quartz countertops, an apron-front farmhouse sink, and an oversized waterfall-edge island with a secondary sink. A Forno 8-burner commercial-style gas range with griddle and pot filler, double wall ovens, and carefully curated lighting complete this exceptional space. Wrought-iron doors open to a covered main-level balcony - an ideal year-round extension for dining, lounging, and entertaining. Upstairs, custom paneled walls lead to a cozy flex retreat with a modern fireplace wrapped in concrete-style paneling. The owner's suite is a true sanctuary, featuring tri-fold wrought-iron glass doors to a private covered balcony with tranquil lake views, a wet bar with wine fridge, a custom walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with a freestanding soaking tub, frameless glass shower, and double vanity. Two additional bedrooms, two beautifully tiled full baths, and a laundry room with upgraded tile finishes and a sink round out the upper level. The finished terrace level offers exceptional versatility - ideal as a guest or in-law suite, young adult retreat, or dedicated entertainment level. It includes a media room, wet bar easily convertible to a full kitchenette, a second laundry room, a spacious bedroom, and an upgraded full bath. Throughout the home, every bathroom features Bluetooth exhaust fans with color-changing lighting, and in-ceiling surround sound speakers are installed on every level. The oversized side-entry garage includes an EV charger and extended parking pad with ample room for vehicles, storage, and recreational gear. Spray-foam insulation and a tankless water heater ensure energy efficiency, and a transferable 2-10 Builder Warranty provides added peace of mind. Community amenities include access to Lake Lanier via a private dock with day-use slips, the opportunity to rent covered boat slips, a resort-style pool, and a clubhouse - everything you need to embrace the lake lifestyle in style.
