Description

Just Listed – Your Dream Lakefront Escape on Lake Lanier. Welcome to the quintessential lakefront retreat you've been dreaming of—fully renovated and move-in ready just in time for summer! Nestled in a peaceful, private cove with deep water and direct access to the main channel, this beautifully updated home offers everything you need for the ultimate lake lifestyle. Enjoy a premium 32’ x 32’ dock permit with a sturdy steel and wood double-slip dock (currently equipped with a 30’ gangway) just a gentle 100-yard stroll from the house. Whether you're setting sail or soaking in the view, this setup is lake life at its finest. Step inside to a sun-drenched great room with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and panoramic lake views. The open-concept layout features a fireside living area, cozy built-in dining nook, and a fully renovated kitchen (2021) complete with new appliances, cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, and generous storage. The main level offers two bedrooms, including an oversized en-suite that could easily serve as the primary suite. You'll find an additional bedroom and full bathroom upstairs, ideal for guests or family. The finished walkout terrace level is for entertaining and relaxation, boasting more lake views, custom-built-in bunks, a bonus room (currently used as a bedroom), a full bath, and a convenient drop zone for lake gear. A charming detached workshop mirrors the main home's design and provides a flexible home office, gym, or entertainment lounge space. (One of the full bathrooms is located in this structure.) Outdoor living is just as impressive, with multiple spaces to enjoy the peaceful surroundings: gather around the fire pit, relax on the expansive wrap-around deck, or enjoy year-round use with the under-decking system. This home is truly turn-key—recent improvements include a new driveway and golf cart path to the cove, a replaced retaining wall, and renovations to all three bathrooms. Located just 5 minutes from Pelican Pete’s Marina and less than a mile from Keith Bridge Park’s boat launch, this ideal location offers quick access to the lake's north and south ends. The Bridgewater community also features a pool, playground, and tennis courts for even more fun. With its tranquil cove location—protected from waves and boat traffic—this is the perfect spot for floating the day away or connecting with friendly neighbors. Welcome to lake living at its best!
