A STUDY IN ELEGANCE, an In-Town location, and a sprawling 17 acres are all part of this Estate property with its custom-built residence. Thought, design, quality and comfort are all evident in the myriad of details throughout the spacious and warmly accommodating 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath, 2-level home with a walkout daylight basement.
Eye-pleasing touches flourish within – gleaming oak flooring of solid plank tongue-n-groove, hand-made custom cherry cabinetry, frosted glass doors, arched windows, burnished fixtures and speckled granite all cast their charm.
A formal entry through the slate-n-stone portico and arched doorway leads one into the open layout and expanded living space. A tall, stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace (with gas starter) anchors the gabled bleached-pine planking greatroom and the adjacent sunroom looks out onto a terraced backdrop.
In the kitchen you’ll find handsome granite countertops and bar, rich cherry sculpted cabinetry, heavy stainless appliances, a hidden coffee cubby and a generous walk-in pantry. A cook’s five-burner gas cooktop and electric oven with side warmer are framed by a hand-stacked stone arch and tile background and the kitchen is open to the living space.
On the main level the spacious Master Suite strikes an air of repose while looking great doing it with its paneled ceiling, moldings, oak flooring, thick plantation shutters and expansive sun-drop windowing. A capacious walk-in closet and a gentlemen’s closet each offer built-in shelving with cabinetry and drawers. Two shoe closets round out the storage area.
The Master Bath includes a long dual vanity of cherry cabinetry and burnished fixtures, a soaking tub with an arched-window seat and large walk-in shower. The entire area is warmly cast in a variegated stone tiling.
A second bedroom also resides on the main level also as an ensuite layout with a marbled and tiled private bath. The garage and entry is on this main level and the laundry room with its gleaming cabinetry, workspace and sink is adjacent. A powder room is convenient to the kitchen and living space and looks classic with its sculpted vanity.
Upstairs is a third bedroom and third bath and a fourth bedroom with an ensuite bath layout, a bonus room (convertible to bedroom), office and storage.
A full daylight basement beneath has both finished and unfinished space, is stubbed for a bath and can be finished out as an apartment.
Equipment for the home includes dual HVAC units, an in-ground 1000 gallon propane tank, a tankless hot water supply, a whole-house Generac generator, City water plus a drilled well for gardening/recreation/washing and a whole-house monitored security system.
Total privacy is assured and nary a bit of rushing traffic will you hear even though the location is within the City of Dahlonega. Paved roadways bring you all the way up to the southern-exposure home and there’s an expansive concreted parking and project area adjacent to the garage plus additional space on the terrace level.
The setting is a wooded acreage delight with a small creek of tumblestone cascades and little waterfalls plus a small branch emanating from a spring in the upper corner of the property that flows alongside in little clear-watered and splashy rivulets. Expect some mountainous terrain along with gentle rounded hilltop and ridgeline areas. Carpets of ferns, granite projections and showy mountain laurel along with natural resplendent foliage both lush and canopied cover the property.
A beautiful and private acreage setting along with a fine home in one of the best small towns in America make for most desirable circumstances.
