Welcome to 5817 Bayside Court in Buford, where comfort, space, and resort style living all come together just minutes from Lake Lanier. Tucked inside a quiet, friendly neighborhood, this home offers the kind of setting people are looking for, both inside and out. The main level feels warm and welcoming with freshly refinished hardwood floors and a layout that makes everyday living easy. The primary suite is on the main and has been thoughtfully extended to include a private dressing room, perfect for getting ready, or use it as a cozy sitting area or home office. The kitchen and bathrooms have been updated with clean, modern finishes, and the appliances have been upgraded, so everything is move-in ready. Upstairs offers additional space with replaced carpet, while the finished basement is set up for fun and flexibility. You have a large recreation room, a media room, a full bathroom, a private flex space currently used as a bedroom, a secure safe room and a workshop area for storage or tools with a garage door. Step outside and this home really shines. The professionally landscaped yard creates a private retreat centered around an 18x36 heated saltwater pool. Whether you are hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening, this backyard really delivers. The front and back outdoor spaces are designed to feel like an extension of the home, professionally landscaped and meticulously cared for including added rock dry beds and a $25k retaining wall adds both structure and style. You also have the convenience of two driveways, including a lower driveway with a one car garage that works great for RV and your toy storage. All major systems have been well maintained, with the HVAC serviced seasonally, a roof replacement completed in 2025 and septic just pumped in 2025 giving you added peace of mind. The neighborhood adds even more value with an optional HOA, offering access to a walking trail and the beautiful community dock on Lake Lanier, plus seasonal gatherings that bring neighbors together. If you want a home that feels comfortable, updated, and built for both relaxing and entertaining, this one is worth seeing, trust me!
