Property Description
TURNKEY LAKE LANIER COTTAGE READY FOR YOU! This adorable Lake Lanier Cottage style home allows you to truly slow down and make very simple decisions- go on the boat? Hang at the dock? Deal some cards for a friendly competition? Catch up with your family and friends on the large screened in porch? There's truly nothing to do except bring your toothbrush and enjoy the lake. Located in the Chestatee Bay area in a quiet cove with BIG WATER views from the top of the dock, minutes from Pelican Pete's at Port Royale but also close to the north end where there is less boat traffic. As you enter the property, you'll be greeted by a long, FLAT, winding driveway made for plenty of parking as we all know friends and family will show up when you own a lake home! The sellers added a fun fire pit area to roast s'mores and chat around the fire at night. The ranch style cottage sits on a full finished basement. The main level entrance is impressive with tons of great detail work and a beautiful style. There are 2 large sized bedrooms on main with a full bathroom, super cozy family room with fireplace, updated kitchen with Forno appliances that leads out to the screened in porch perfect for enjoying the view and nature. The stairs leading down to the basement are a statement, featuring beautiful plaid patterned carpet. The sellers even added a window to add more light going down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs is a wonderful living space with an added electric fireplace to watch movies, play games, and have room for sleepovers and guests. The master bedroom is located down off to the side of the living space, and it truly feels like you're in nature with LARGE picture windows overlooking the lake. The master bathroom includes 2 vanities and walk-in shower that is accessible from the hallway or master bedroom. Down the hallway next to the bathroom is the laundry room which is a great space for storage too. When it's time to go to the dock the seller installed all new railings, steps, and a wider path (corps approved) with new dock steps. The dock has also been re-surfaced with composite (Trex) decking and new railings. When it's time to come back up to the house the sellers added an outdoor shower to rinse off OR WASH THE DOGS OFF BEFORE HEADING BACK INSIDE! A storage shed provides the perfect spot for all your lake essentials, keeping everything organized and ready for your next adventure. This Lake Lanier Cottage is the true meaning of PERFECTION and the list of improvements is a mile long. Also, if you don't want to take the steps to the dock there is a gravel path currently that can be paved on the property before you get to the Corps of Engineer line. This property can be sold furnished!
