1052 Lakemont Drive

Deepwater on Lake Lanier, 142 feet of frontage, and a covered, double-slip dock on open water. The walk from the back door to the gangway is flat and grassed, the kind of approach to the water most Lanier owners never get. Lake views that hold through summer, framed from the Sun Room and the Primary Bedroom. Two full living levels, no HOA, minutes from Gainesville Marina and the downtown Gainesville square. Start outside. A heated Gunite pool and a cabana sit between the house and the lake, with a rear deck running the waterside of the home and a fenced back yard below it. The covered dock holds two slips on deep, open water, both out of the sun, with room for the boat and the jet skis and a low Corps line that keeps the lake close to the house. From the pool, the path to the dock is one you can mow and walk in flip-flops. No sharp descent, no switchback, and no need for a cart. Inside, the Main Level does what a ranch is supposed to do and puts everything on one floor. The Primary Bedroom opens to a Sitting Room with lake views, his-and-hers vanities, a separate tub, and a custom walk-in tile shower. A guest Bedroom and Full Bath sit on the same floor, so overnight visitors never have to head downstairs. The Kitchen runs on a Wolf gas range with abundant white cabinets, stone counters, a Breakfast Room, and an Eat-In layout that opens straight onto the deck. From there, the Family Room takes over, built-ins beside one of the two fieldstone fireplaces that warm the main living spaces, and carries through to the Sun Room on the water. Nine-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and fresh neutral paint run the Main Level, with a Laundry Room on this floor and another downstairs. Downstairs is a second home under the same roof. The Terrace Level is finished, daylight, and walk-out, with two more Bedrooms, two Full Baths, a second Kitchen, a wet bar, and its own laundry under 9-foot ceilings. It has its own grade-level entrance and opens straight to the yard. Close it off, and it runs on its own: a place to put up guests, a separate suite for a long stay, or a rental when you are not on the water yourself. The layout hands you the whole lake house when you want it and a self-contained lower level when you don't. No HOA. No rental restrictions. Newer roof and HVAC, a whole-house generator that keeps the lights and the pump on while you are away, full irrigation with pump permit, a smart thermostat, public water, sewer, and natural gas. A one-year 2-10 Supreme Home Warranty is included. Priced under the current DS Murphy appraisal, providing instant equity. Gainesville Marina is up Dawsonville Highway, and the Gainesville square is about ten minutes east, with The Stag, Recess, Avocados, and a Kroger Marketplace for the weekly run. Northeast Georgia Medical Center is close. Don Carter State Park and the lake's public beach sit on the north end nearby, and Lanier Islands is down the water when you want a crowd. I-985 puts Atlanta inside an hour, an easy weekend run up from the city and back. Come walk the path to the dock. It is the flattest one on this stretch of shoreline. Bring the boat.
