This spectacular North Georgia mountain retreat has been meticulously rejuvenated with top-tier improvements, combining classic timber-frame charm with modern luxury and peace of mind. Nestled on a half-acre lot, this 2,850-square-foot cabin offers rare, long-range vistas and total privacy. The home is now more resilient and secure than ever, featuring a whole-home generator system, a comprehensive outdoor security camera network, and new security hardware with brand-new locks throughout. The interior has been completely transformed with fresh professional paint and elegant recessed lighting across the entire main floor. The heart of the home is the fully remodeled kitchen, boasting premium finishes and a full suite of new high-efficiency appliances. The great room's cathedral ceilings are anchored by a rejuvenated stone fireplace, featuring a brand-new box and luxury gas logs. Throughout the home, you’ll find updated light fixtures, modern ceiling fans, and wood restoration to the window casings. Offering incredible value for investors or those seeking a seamless move, this home is being sold furnished as a true turnkey rental, perfectly positioned to be income-producing and ready to be rented on Day 1. The versatile floor plan offers a primary suite option on either the main or upper level. The main-level bathroom now features a custom glass shower door, and both the main and lower-level enclosed porches have been enhanced. BOTH enclosed decks allow you to enjoy the breathtaking mountain views year-round in luxurious comfort. The exterior has been significantly upgraded for beauty and longevity with new hardscape steps, a professional retention wall, and optimized drainage systems. Curb appeal is elevated by custom shutters, fresh exterior paint, and high-efficiency gutter guards. Located just 10 minutes from the vibrant city of Ellijay with its fantastic shopping and restaurants, and only minutes from Carters Lake and Blue Ridge Lake, this "better-than-new" cabin is a true East Gilmer masterpiece.
