Location is EVERYTHING with this one. Located within minutes to Lake Lanier and between both Buford and Cumming. This is a rare find ranch style home on full finished basement on a super private .59 acre lot. This is an Estate Home but the caretakers have poured in the time and money to upgrade the things this home needed including an updated electric panel, repairs to the septic system to bring it up to code, additional concrete to the driveway, erosion and landscape maintenance and additions, a chimney clean up, installation and cleaning of the dryer vent system, a new 40 gallon gas water heater, waterproofing and foundation work and new paint to many of the rooms (receipts for all included in the documentation). Step inside to living with vaulted ceilings with skylights and built in bookcases, fireplace, and dining. The kitchen features strong oak cabinets, a breakfast bar and eat in kitchen area. All appliances stay with this home including refrigerator and washer/dryer. Separate bedrooms make this a perfect home for privacy. Primary suite features an oversized closet and a separate bath and shower along with a double vanity. Secondary bedrooms are large and on their own side of the house with a shared bath and the laundry room. Below, you will find a finished basement with a large closet-perfect to hide from GA tornados or storage, two large rooms, a new full bath, and a kitchen. Kitchen has dishwasher, place for a stove and refrigerator. This large lot is completely fenced in at the back and has a lovely storage building perfect for storage or a workshop (has electricity!). Also to note is the new sod, beautiful rock boulders, and oversized back deck! The home is in a neighborhood but there is NO HOA. This is an ESTATE OWNED property and is being Sold AS-IS with right to inspection. We acknowledge that the home needs your beautiful additions and upgrades, but the Estate caretaker believes they have taken care of the major items this home needed.
