About This Home
As of July 2023The moment you walk up to the front door of this craftsman style home you will immediately feel right at home! From the charming carriage house garage doors to the welcoming covered front porch, which provides a shaded space to relax and enjoy the outdoors, this house just speaks "home". As you walk through the front door the tall 2-story foyer and hardwood floors are there to greet you. The versatile formal dining area can be used for its intended purpose or as a flex space for a home office or an additional lounge area. At the back of the home is a spacious fireside family room with low maintenance tile floors. Adjacent to the family room is the gorgeous light and bright kitchen with grey cabinets, granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, black/stainless steel appliances, a center island, and ample room for a dinette table if you so choose. The large window/patio door in the kitchen provides lots of natural light. Head out back and you will love the nice-sized level backyard and patio area which is ideal for outdoor dining. The entire backyard is surrounded by a wrought iron fence! On the second floor is the generously sized primary suite with a tray ceiling, walk-in closet, and an en suite bathroom with double vanities, garden tub, and separate walk-in shower. Also on the second floor are 3 additional secondary bedrooms and full bath with a tub/shower combo. All bedrooms come furnished with modern ceiling fans and the neutral paint color extends upstairs giving a uniformed and cohesive look to the home. Sterling on the Lake is a very desirable community offering a variety amenities for everyone! The Lakeside Clubhouse provides resort style living with 4 pools, outdoor fireplace, playground, movie theater, fitness center, and at the center of it all is Lake Sterling! A 45 acre lake where you can enjoy fishing, kayaking, and canoeing (boats can be rented for free to its residence), or just stay onshore and watch all the action from the Lakeside Pavilion which is equipped with grills and picnic areas. But wait, there is more! The community also offers an opportunity to join the ALTA tennis teams and has recently added pickleball and bocce ball courts to the mix. There are also plenty of green spaces, miles of walking, jogging and biking trails. You really can't place a value to the amount of outdoor fun you will have living in such a great community! Conveniently located to great schools, shops, restaurants, and just a short drive to Lake Lanier, and I-985, makes the location of this home ideal for just about anyone!
