Set along the serene banks of the Ellijay River, this beautifully decorated retreat offers gentle river access and the perfect blend of comfort, style, and natural beauty. Relax to the soothing sounds of the river from the expansive deck that overhangs the water, or gather around the riverside fire pit on the patio for unforgettable evenings outdoors. A screened porch provides the ideal setting for year-round enjoyment of the peaceful surroundings. Inside, the home features a spacious open floor plan with two bedrooms and two baths, accented by soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and a warm mix of wood and drywall finishes. The thoughtfully designed kitchen is both elegant and functional, showcasing granite countertops and backsplash, a large center island, and a stunning hammered copper farmhouse sink. The inviting living area is anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fireplace with an efficient wood-burning insert, creating a cozy atmosphere for every season. Professionally decorated with the refined eye of an art collector, the home features fine art throughout, adding warmth, sophistication, and character to every space. Exceptional attention to detail and curated design make this a truly distinctive mountain-river retreat. Sold “as is' and furnished
