PRISTINE, LIKE NEW WITH VIEWS! Lovingly maintained by its original owners, this meticulously cared-for haven offers a rare mountain lifestyle where thoughtful design meets breathtaking surroundings. Start your mornings on the covered deck, taking in long-range North Georgia mountain views while a fire crackles in the stacked stone fireplace nearby. Unlike many mountain properties, this home features a manicured lawn and colorful garden beds, complemented by a concrete driveway with ample parking, an extra bump-out, and a storage shed. A stepless side path leads directly to the rear entry for easy access. Inside, the vaulted living area blends warmth and elegance with tongue-and-groove ceilings, decorative trusses, and sheetrock finishes. Clerestory windows fill the open-concept space with natural light, highlighting wide-plank wood floors and the stacked stone fireplace with a live-edge cedar mantel. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar. The main level offers a split-bedroom layout with a suite on either side of the living area and direct deck access, where a second fireplace awaits. The home also includes a fully owned 10.8 kW solar power system, with no solar lease to assume and the opportunity for reduced utility costs. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath continue the thoughtful layout. Located in a welcoming community where short-term rentals are not permitted, this peaceful retreat offers a true sense of belonging.
