Are you looking for convenience, a swim/tennis community AND all the extras? Look no further, you've found your dream home!! This stunning home sits on over an acre in the acclaimed Oak Forest subdivision. Trip time to HWY 400 is 2 minutes, 5 minutes to the Dawsonville Outlets and there are multiple Lake Lanier access points, also minutes away. When you pull into the driveway of this home the first thing that is easy to fall in love with is the large wrap-around porch, complete with a swing that's just waiting for you. When you walk in the front door you'll be wowed by the beautiful high ceilings, crown molding details, wood floors, and wrought iron banister leading up to the second floor. Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms; one with a private bath and the other sharing a jack-and-jill style bathroom. The owner's suite is on the main floor and is complimented by its gorgeous view of the backyard, as well as its custom bathroom that includes a soaking tub, heated tile floors, a separate stand-up shower, double granite vanity, and his-and-hers closets. The renovated kitchen boasts new appliances, complete with two ovens and a built-in electric, induction cooktop. As you make your way into the formal dining room from the kitchen, you will pass by the oversized walk-in pantry with custom shelves and a built-in bar. Across from the dining room is a space that would make an elegant formal living room, office/library, or music room. The large great room is the heart of the home and is expanded by its soaring ceilings and high windows that have electric blinds, which allow natural light to pour in. A gas fireplace provides warmth and a focal point in the great room, and the open floor plan allows you to remain engaged with anyone in the eat-in kitchen area. Past the kitchen is a hallway that leads to a sizable laundry room and access to the 3-car garage. The garage includes storage closets, ceiling storage shelves, and an electric 220-volt hookup. Above the garage is a 350+ ft loft-style area with a half bath and extra attic storage space. On the bottom floor, you will find a finished daylight basement, complete with a full bath, ample closet space, and 3 oversized rooms that could be used as guest bedrooms, an exercise room, game room, or whatever your heart desires. There is also 500+ sq feet of remaining unfinished space for you to use or finish as you wish. Finally, the backyard provides a private resort experience with a saltwater/heated pool, jacuzzi, outdoor kitchen with a burn pit, and a large screened-in porch. There is also a natural area where a playground was constructed, remaining space for a garden, and a workshop with exterior access for all your equipment/tool storage needs. The master bedroom, kitchen, living room, and screened-in porch all share the same amazing view that the backyard offers. This home is a jewel and has been meticulously maintained and upgraded. It is just waiting for all the memories its new owners are going to make inside its walls. Schedule your viewing today!
