About this home
Step into the enchanting world of this French provincial masterpiece, nestled on the shores of Lake Lanier on a 1.05 acre lot. This European 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home is perched on a quiet street in the coveted Chattahoochee Estates neighborhood, offering a life of serene luxury and located about a mile from the Chattahoochee Country Club. But what truly sets this property apart is the fact that the owners have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in renovations and upgrades. Now, they've decided to move back to the coast, making this stunning residence available for a fortunate buyer like you. As you approach the wrought iron gated front door entrance and porte-cochere on the side, the charm of this estate becomes evident. Lush, professional landscaping surrounds the property, providing an idyllic setting for this European-style gem. The marble tiled foyer, 10' crown-molded ceilings, and arched doorways welcome you. Wide-plank hardwoods traverse the floors, exuding warmth and style. The fine craftsmanship and exquisite details can be found throughout all three finished levels, ensuring that every corner of this home radiates sophistication. The main floor boasts a separate dining room, a beautifully remodeled kitchen with a new custom pantry, an additional wine storage closet, and a cozy keeping room/family room at the rear of the home. There's also a formal living room with a wood burning fireplace with a French marble mantle and a main-floor, handicap-accessible full bath and bedroom. Upstairs, you'll find two large bedroom ensuites and a finished bonus room with skylights, perfect for an office, exercise room, or additional closet space. But one of the most cherished spots in this home is the covered screen porch, where you can relax and enjoy incredible lake views, sip your favorite drink at the bar, and watch your favorite shows or football games on the flat-screen TV. The terrace level offers a massive Primary ensuite which opens to the private walled courtyard garden, on the back of the home, with a water feature and lush landscaping. The Primary ensuite bath has a separate shower and soaking tub plus a separate toilet & bidet room. The primary suite also has a large walk-in closet with a new custom crafted wood closet and island that is cedar lined. On the terrace level there is also a library room with a French door leading to the courtyard, a newly remodeled laundry room, an office, a separate room for your pet's kennel or bed, a wine storage closet, and an additional unfinished space for storage. The backyard is a spacious, level oasis with a lush lawn, and the absence of an HOA gives you the freedom to create your perfect outdoor retreat. The property is on a Lake Lanier back cove backing up to CORP property allowing the ability to put in a kayak or fish. Some of the highlights of the recent renovations and upgrades, including two new HVAC systems, a freshly poured concrete driveway, refinished hardwood floors, modern bathroom fixtures, a tankless hot water heater, and more, ensure that this home is not only beautiful but also highly functional. See the complete list of upgrades and renovations in the document list. For those who seek even more amenities, consider an optional membership to the Chattahoochee Country Club, just a golf cart ride around the corner. With a full-service golf course, a marina with covered boat slips, tennis courts, fitness facilities, swimming pools, and a variety of dining options, this is a resort-style community that elevates your lifestyle. This exceptional property is just minutes away from all the services, hospitals, restaurants, and shops the City of Gainesville has to offer. All TVs and audio equipment stay with the home, and the furniture is negotiable.
