The oversized walk-up attic provides abundant storage and could be finished into a bonus room, office, or additional living space. There are also stairs that lead to a huge attic room over garage that could be finished into an office or additional living area. Outdoor living is truly exceptional, beginning with the full-length rear deck and screened porch overlooking the lake and backyard with Stone Firepit. Step down to the remarkable flagstone patio featuring a custom-built outdoor kitchen with two built-in Big Green Eggs (one XL and one small) plus a built-in Blackstone grill. Beyond the patio, the gently terraced backyard leads to a stone firepit, creating the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying cool evenings by the lake. The front yard is fenced, with the fence extending around the right side of the home, and a wooden storage shed remains with the property for added convenience. A 2-car attached garage provides excellent everyday functionality and storage. The roof is only 3 years old, offering additional peace of mind. Located in desirable Chestatee Bay with amazing Forsyth County schools, this location is second to none.
