About This Home

As of January 2024

Sweet dreams can come true for you with this lovely 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath craftsman-inspired mountain home on 7.1 acres in Sweetwater subdivision near the Sautee Valley! Tons of tasteful features that you typically don't get in a mountain home gives you options for year-round enjoyment in a natural setting. Access the main level (9 ft. ceilings) from the detached 2-car garage across a brand new deck and walkway where you can bring friends, pets and groceries right into the kitchen, dining & living room areas. The kitchen features upgraded amenities including butcher block countertops and separate island. The living room is centered around a masonry fireplace (burns firewood!) with a doorway out to the screened porch overlooking the lot and the seasonal mountain views. Owner's suite, upgraded bath w/walk-in closet, and half bath complete the main floor plan. Upstairs are two HUGE bedroom spaces flanking a full bath. The upstairs bedrooms include an en suite office and/or hobby areas, as well as attic cubbies for additional storage. The finished basement provides you with a recreation/game room, another bedroom & bath, fireplace and laundry/in-house storage room. An exterior basement door leads out to another covered porch/sitting area facing the front yard & wooded acreage. The detached two-car garage sits behind a poured concrete retaining wall with an additional off street paved parking spot. The 4+ acres of hardwoods to the west provides extra privacy and buffer from any encroachment of neighboring homes in the future. This house is a great find in rural Habersham near many outdoor venues and recreation areas that you have longed for in a future mountain home. Furnishings negotiable.
