This private home place is on almost two acres; it comes with an extra lot, with gentle laying topography. Hold the lot for future expansion, a detached garage, sell it or keep it to protect your privacy. Just minutes from Gainesville and Lake Lanier on a quiet street, this well-maintained home offers comfortable living with no HOA. This classic American cottage blends timeless Cape Cod architecture with the tranquility of rural life. The welcoming front porch creates a storybook charm, while the spacious homesite offers room to roam, garden or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of nature. A stone fireplace anchors the spacious family room, and the primary suite on the main level features a whirlpool tub. The upper-level bonus room provides space for guests, hobbies, or media. The loft is a great spot for reading or a work from home desk. On the terrace level, there's room to add a 4th bedroom, plus a separate study-perfect for working from home or as a hobby/craft room. Enjoy a fenced backyard from the open deck, relax on the screened front porch. There's also unfinished space in the basement for additional expansion or storage and an outbuilding for the yard equipment. (The two lots total 1.85 acres).
