Newly priced! Single-level living at its best in The Retreat at Sterling on the Lake, an exclusive 55+ gated community. This upgraded David Weekley-built ranch is right-sized by design: two bedrooms, no stairs, and every upgrade where you'll actually enjoy it. The open floor plan showcases hardwood floors throughout, 10-foot ceilings, and timeless crown molding. The chef's kitchen is made for entertaining, with quartz countertops, a 5-burner gas cooktop under a custom stainless steel vent hood, stainless steel appliances, coffee nook, and a massive island. Remote blinds in the living areas and black-out shades in the primary bedroom add everyday comfort. The showstopper is the covered back porch with a newly added paver patio and stone wall, overlooking the professionally landscaped backyard perfect for endless birdwatching. With weekly lawn maintenance and HOA-maintained landscaping, you'll spend your time living, not working on the yard. The Retreat offers private amenities including a clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, and a bocce court, plus access to Sterling on the Lake's resort-style pools, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness center, theater, library, kayaking, and miles of walking trails. Community events like Food Truck Fridays, Concerts in the Park, and Holiday Celebrations mean there's always something to do. The Retreat is close to Lake Lanier, shopping, and dining. With Hall County senior tax exemptions available to those who qualify, this home is the perfect blend of beauty, convenience, and community. Here, it's not just a home; it's a lifestyle.
