    What's special

    Flagstone walkwayHardwood flooring
    2038 Laurel Cove is located on the backside of the Laurel Lake neighborhood in the City of Nelson. The property includes TWO lots with private access to the 5-7 acre lake behind the home. There are only 17 homes with access to the lake, and the home has a small dock if you have a paddle boat or small bass boat. The yard has been completely redone over the last 9 years with many additions to the landscaping, including the removal of English Ivy, flourishing flower beds with shrubs and year-round color, a stone pathway to the backyard, raised garden beds in the back yard, and a flagstone walkway. Relax on the front porch that wraps all the way around to the back of the house to an open deck. Underneath the deck is a second deck. Both have views of landscape (creek, lake, and a heavily wooded lot). When it rains, you can hear the spillway, because the house is on the side of the lake with the dam. If you're sitting on the porch, it is a pretty peaceful place. The home has been freshly painted and most of the fixtures have been replaced and/or updated. The home received a refresh in 2020 that included a brand-new HVAC system (furnace, ductwork, and A/C unit), hardwood flooring, and new tile in the kitchen. The water heater was also replaced in 2025. The home includes updated appliances (dishwasher, oven/stove, washer and dryer, and a 50-inch TV already installed in the living room). There is a bonus room above the garage that was used as a fourth bedroom. The basement is a full basement that is set up to be finished. The bedrooms all have Closet Maid shelving systems (moveable shelving) that was updated in 2018. The 2-car garage is great for storage, and has a working door that was also updated in 2020. The double driveway is an added bonus with a flat concrete pad in the front. It's great for riding bikes, using a mobile fire pit, or just hanging out in the driveway. The location is probably one of the best features of the home. Although it is City of Nelson, it is still in Cherokee County, GA inside the school zone for Ball Ground Stem Academy, Creekland Middle School, and Creekview High School. It borders Pickens County, so it is only 10 minutes from Jasper, 3 minutes from Highway 515 access, 7 minutes from Highway 575 access, and 5 minutes from Downtown Ball Ground. With City of Nelson, you get to use their trash service, which is the cheapest and best trash service around. ($15 per month!) The HOA is not restrictive, and at $90 per year, it is very minimal.
    What the owner loves about this home
    My favorite part of this home is the kitchen. It is the "happiest" place in the house with lots of morning light (great for indoor plants) and light throughout the day. The landscaping has been completely redone ($30,000 upgrades with added rock stairs, flagstone walkway, removal of 10 tons of English Ivy, updated front with sod and a 50ft landscaped bed with a split-rail fence and upgraded mailbox/flower bed). The hand-scraped, hardwood flooring is a very nice upgrade from the previously installed carpet on the first level too.
