Welcome to this hidden gem on Lake Lanier - Packed with Personality and Possibilities. Tucked away on the shores of Lake Lanier, this charming brick home is the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and stay a while. With incredible lake views from almost every room, it's easy to forget you're just minutes from restaurants, shopping, and everything else you need. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by an open layout with vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and a cozy stone fireplace that feels like a warm hug. The oversized windows bring in natural light and nonstop views of the water, while the full-length back deck-partially screened-gives you the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or evening unwind. The eat-in kitchen has a comfortable, lived-in feel, with granite counters, a butcher block island, and easy access to the deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The primary bedroom? It's a peaceful retreat with lake views right from the bed and direct access to the deck-ideal for a sunset soak in the hot tub. The bathroom includes a large walk-in tiled shower with double shower heads and bench seating-perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. Downstairs, there's even more space to spread out: a second living area with a fireplace and bar, three more bedrooms, and two bonus rooms that can serve as home offices, guest rooms, or whatever you need-the possibilities are endless. And here's a little surprise that makes this place extra special-there's a cute detached garage that looks like its own tiny house, perfect for parking your UTV or storing lake toys. From there, hop in your UTV and head to your private party dock with a boat lift, tucked into deep water and ready for boating, fishing, or simply relaxing by the lake. If you're looking for something different-full of charm, flexibility, and lakeside fun-this home is worth seeing in person. Come explore what makes it so special. ***PLEASE VIEW THE VIRTUAL TOUR FOR A BETTER VIEW OF THE HOME & IT'S LOCATION ON LAKE LANIER***
