About this home
Located in the highly sought-after Mountain Crest community in Forsyth County in the Sawnee/Hendricks/Forsyth central school districts. This carefully updated home offers the perfect blend of custom upgrades, outdoor beauty, and relaxed living. Set on a quiet street overlooking the large community green space with mature trees and winding sidewalks, the home sits in a golf cart-friendly neighborhood where neighbors wave as they pass, nature trails connect through wooded wetlands, and community spaces bring people together, whether for a morning walk, a pickleball match, or an evening at the pool. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this home has been exceptionally maintained and upgraded with care. The front yard features manicured bushes, a blooming magnolia and elm tree that provide shade and privacy for the covered front porch. In back, 13 mature trees, crepe myrtles, Japanese maples, fragrant lantana, and rose bushes along the screened porch create a peaceful and private garden setting. A black metal fence encloses the yard. The custom stone patio and hot tub sit in a quiet corner on a dedicated pad with its own breaker. The upper deck off the primary suite overlooks green space and a large shade tree for added privacy. Inside, the home is filled with custom touches and upgraded finishes. The kitchen features a large island with breakfast bar, a gas cooktop, handcrafted pantry shelving, and matching trim on the stove cover and pantry door. A spacious open dining area flows into the living room with a gas fireplace, upgraded stone surround, shiplap detail, and custom built-in bookshelves. All lighting has been updated including recessed lighting and a statement chandelier above the staircase. A solar-powered, remote-controlled stairway shade adds convenience and style. The main level includes a versatile guest room with its own electric fireplace, shiplap accents, sliding barn doors, and a private full bath, perfect for hosting, working, or creating a quiet flex space. An additional half bath on the main level adds convenience. The foyer ceiling features wood shiplap that ties into the home’s cohesive design. Upstairs, updated wood flooring runs throughout, and wainscoting adds character to the hallway. The primary suite features a custom window seat with built-in storage, crown molding, plantation shutters, and a renovated bath with quartz countertops, dual sinks, lighted mirrors, an open walk-in shower, and wainscoting. The second-floor laundry includes a custom wood countertop for folding and organizing. Two additional bedrooms complete the second floor. One of the upstairs bedrooms was originally two rooms and is now an oversized suite with two closets, used as an office/music studio, and can easily be converted back. The garage has a sealed, finished floor and four large overhead storage racks. This home is located in a truly unique neighborhood. Mountain Crest offers tennis and pickleball courts, a pool with a waterslide, volleyball courts, a basketball court, community gardens, open green space, and scenic walking paths through preserved wetlands. You might spot deer, songbirds, blue herons, beavers, or other local wildlife as you explore the trails. The neighborhood connects directly to the Big Creek Greenway, making it easy to step outside and onto miles of trails spanning from Cumming through Alpharetta down to Roswell. Golf carts are part of the lifestyle here, and the neighborhood has a warm, connected feel that’s hard to find. Just outside the neighborhood, you’re minutes from Lake Lanier, Cumming City Center, Costco, Halcyon, the upcoming mixed-use development The Gathering, Indian Seats hiking trails at Sawnee Mountain, and Hawks Ridge Golf Club, one of Georgia’s premier private courses. Every detail, inside and out, comes together to create a home you need to experience in person — schedule your tour today.
