Welcome to your own private retreat in one of Forsyth County's most sought-after locations! Nestled on a quiet 2.17-acre lot with NO HOA, this custom brick and Hardi-Plank ranch offers nearly 4,900 square feet of beautifully designed living space, combining timeless craftsmanship, modern comfort, and exceptional versatility. Featuring 4 bedrooms, a spacious bonus room, 5 full baths, and a dedicated home office, this home is designed to accommodate today's lifestyle with room for everyone. The main level showcases beautiful hardwood floors, a luxurious primary suite, an inviting open living area, and a well-appointed kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and abundant cabinetry—perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The fully finished terrace level is ideal for multi-generational living, an in-law suite, or a private teen retreat. Complete with its own exterior entrance, second kitchen, one bedroom, two full baths, and a separate two-car garage with an EV charging hookup, it offers incredible flexibility for extended family, guests, or even a home-based business.

The newly built covered porch is the ultimate entertaining space, featuring a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and a cozy gas log fireplace overlooking the large fenced backyard. The freshly lime-washed brick exterior, automatic landscape lighting, and mature trees create stunning curb appeal while offering a peaceful setting you'll enjoy year-round. Outdoor enthusiasts will love being just minutes from Lake Lanier and Keith Bridge Park & Boat Ramp, providing easy access to boating, fishing, and year-round recreation. Despite its private setting, you're only minutes from outstanding shopping, dining, entertainment, and convenient access to GA 400.
