Property Description

Located in the sought after Retreat at Chestnut Mountain, a quiet gated community, youCOll find a property with more to offer than you could imagine. The home is situated on a sprawling, meticulously landscaped corner lot, offering an abundance of space for outdoor activities and unparalleled curb appeal. As you walk in, past the large covered front porch complete with a cozy attached bed swing, you are greeted by a welcoming foyer with beautiful red oak hardwood floors that flow seamlessly into a large open concept great room. To your left you have a front facing private office with plenty of natural light and unique built-in shelving made with reclaimed wood, and past that is your oversized master suite. The master bedroom has a picturesque view of the backyard, and direct access to the back patio. The master bathroom comes equipped with a double vanity, a two-person soaking tub separate from the walk-in shower with double shower heads, as well as custom cabinetry and wood shelving. The great room, flooded with natural light and accented by gorgeous coffered ceilings, is home to the first of the homeCOs three fireplaces and flows directly into the bright, spacious kitchen. With its marble countertops, farmhouse sink, endless storage and counter space, custom cabinetry with matching tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and oversized island with barstool seating, this kitchen is perfect for entertaining guests or staying in and cooking a meal for the family. The kitchen also features a large walk-in pantry with a vintage antique door and custom beveled glass transom, as well as a sizable eating area flooded with natural light. Off the kitchen you have a large laundry room with an antique sliding barn door and plenty of storage space, as well as a mudroom and a half bathroom. At the back of the house is an enormous wrap-around back patio, complete with a covered sitting area that boasts towering twenty foot ceilings, and the houseCOs second of three fireplaces (which is wood burning or gas). The backyard backs up to the woods, providing a level of privacy, and is also flat and big enough for a pool. Once back in the home head upstairs, where you will be greeted by a cozy reading nook with custom shelving, made of recovered wood and piping. Around the corner is a large bedroom with sliding barn doors and a Jack and Jill bathroom that connects to another bedroom at the end of the hall. The two additional bedrooms upstairs each feature a walk-in closet, as well as an attached bathroom with walk-in showers and marble countertops, which you will find in every bathroom in the house. The finished basement features a large open concept living area with engineered red oak hardwood floors and the final of the houseCOs fireplaces, another bedroom with an attached bathroom and a walk-in closet, a large bonus room and seemingly endless storage space. YouCOll also find another outdoor seating area just outside the basement living room. Situated just fifteen minutes from both downtown Flowery Branch and Lake Lanier, this property is located in the perfect middle ground of serenity and activity. For commuters, you are less than ten minutes from I-85 and I-985. Schools, parks and community spaces are all a stoneCOs throw away in this home, yet it still manages to feel as though itCOs tucked away in its own little corner of comfort and privacy.
