Description

Welcome to this beautifully maintained home in the highly desirable Riverstone Plantation of Gainesville, GA - Forsyth County. Set on just over 1/2 an acre, this home combines timeless charm with thoughtful updates and modern comfort. The two-story entry foyer opens into a separate dining room, perfect for gatherings. The main level features freshly resurfaced hardwood floors and a spacious kitchen complete with a central island, pantry, breakfast area with bay windows, and a built-in desk. A laundry room sits conveniently off the kitchen. The kitchen flows into the fireside family room and opens onto the oversized back deck, overlooking a gently sloping backyard. The back deck and stairs were newly built in 2024. Made from Trex material and made to last for many, many years to come. This will certainly become your favorite spot. Upstairs, new carpet extends throughout. The primary suite offers a spa-like bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, glass shower, and an oversized walk-in closet. One bedroom features a charming corner window seat with built-in storage, while another has a private connecting door to the updated second bathroom, which now includes fresh paint and new shower tile. The fourth bedroom is oversized and would make a perfect playroom, craft room or even an office. Additional highlights include a 2-car garage, a level driveway with extra parking, and access to neighborhood amenities including a pool, tennis courts, and playgrounds. All this in a prime location just minutes from Lake Lanier, schools, shopping, and dining. A true move-in ready home in one of Gainesville's most desirable communities.

Dogs barking is something that I don't think you can escape in the city of Gainesville & suburbs, kind of like the train. one perk of the Northside of Gainesville is the XXL dog park at Laurel Park!
