Imagine spending your days lounging by the pool, then strolling to your private dock for an evening cruise on the lake, a jet ski ride at sunset, or a day of fishing, wakeboarding, and watersports right from your own backyard. Situated less than 30 minutes from downtown Atlanta and the Atlanta Airport, this canal-front property sits on a 1.24-acre wooded cul-de-sac lot featuring an integrated irrigation system and pool. The interior offers an open floor plan with front and rear staircases, starting with a 2-story foyer that showcases custom marble floors and dentil crown molding. The main level includes formal dining, a bright breakfast room, and a master suite complete with fresh paint, an oversized shower, and a jetted garden tub. Upstairs, you'll find a dedicated home office and a massive bonus room providing flexible space for a fifth bedroom, a billiards room, or a secondary office. Additional interior features include extensive indoor storage, an oversized 24' x 24' garage, two fireplaces, a central vacuum system, a wet bar, and sunroom. Outside, the property has a private 2-boat slip, a 20' x 40' inground pool, a floral garden with pergola, and a dedicated firepit area. Neighborhood residents also have immediate access to nearby park trails, a fitness center, pickleball courts, and a playground. Imagine boating, fishing, skiing, wakeboarding, and more on a PRIVATE lake, all just steps from your back door!
