That said, this home has seen its fair share of improvements during the current ownership to include stylishly updated bathrooms and primary suite, new roof, and added office space making it very easy to love this unique home exactly as it is today. Built in 1977, this property offers a delightful mid-century design with a sunken living room featuring tons of large windows, stacked stone fireplace and vaulted ceiling that draws the eye to the upstairs balcony. Pair this space with views of the mature trees in the front yard, and it’s almost like being in the mountains of Northeast Georgia. Go ahead and throw that “Rumors” vinyl by Fleetwood Mac on the record player - you know you want to!

Step outside to discover a massive covered porch and wrap-around deck, perfect for entertaining friends and family. This expansive outdoor space offers a peaceful retreat for summer barbecues, sunset gatherings, or simply enjoying the lush, wooded surroundings. Under the covered porch, you’ll find a charming studio apartment with a private entrance, ideal for guests, an office, a creative space, or income producing opportunity. The home's large finished basement is a true bonus, also with a separate exterior entrance that could easily be transformed into an additional studio, a guest/ in-law suite, or a teenage hangout.
