This is no ordinary listing. A rare waterfront haven nestled within Lilburn’s coveted Parkview school district is officially on the market—and she’s a beauty. Welcome to your serene 2.73-acre slice of nature-meets-style, with uninterrupted front-row views of Garner Creek gracefully cresting over rocks just beyond your deck. It's peaceful, it's private, and yes—it truly feels cinematic. Tucked at the end of a private gravel road (with a recorded easement, of course), the approach alone feels like the beginning of a weekend getaway. Yet, remarkably, you're less than a mile from everyday conveniences. Who says you can't have both? Inside, the main level is designed for modern living, with an open-concept layout flooded with natural light and rich hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen is fully updated and effortlessly elegant—featuring quartz countertops, a center island, white cabinetry, and sleek stainless steel appliances. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the living space, making entertaining—or simply relaxing—a breeze. A cozy dining room with a charming brick fireplace adds warmth and character, while two main-floor bedrooms and a stylish full bath offer flexible living options. Upstairs, you'll find an ideal layout with three generously sized bedrooms, two beautifully updated bathrooms, and a spacious laundry room with ample storage. The primary suite is a true retreat, offering a sense of quiet, understated luxury with a sunlit ensuite that features stone countertops, dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and natural light worthy of a magazine spread. And then there’s the porch. Wide, deep, and perfectly positioned for morning coffee, golden hour glasses of wine, or simply unwinding while the river sparkles below. It’s peaceful, picturesque, and undeniably special. A covered brick breezeway connects the home to a 2-car garage, complete with river views that just might make you pause before heading inside. There's also a walk-out, unfinished basement offering excellent storage or potential for future expansion—think studio, wine cellar, workshop, or whatever inspires you most. To find this hidden gem, enter through the driveway at 4186 Nichols Court, tucked into the established Hasty Acres neighborhood. Beyond the gravel road lies a wide green pasture and a chicken coop, adding to this idyllic setting. You can enjoy it with peace of mind, knowing that the roof is only 12 years old, and the HVAC system is less than 4 years old. Location-wise, you’re just minutes from Highway 78, Emory, the CDC, and downtown Decatur. Nearby, explore Gwinnett County’s many public parks, sports fields, dog parks, trails, and more. And don’t miss the charm of Old Town Lilburn—home to year-round community events, from live music and craft fairs to Food Truck Tuesdays that feel like something out of a small-town dream. Simply put, this home is more than a property—it’s an experience. A little bit magical, and completely unforgettable.
