Our sellers bought this charming cottage just under a year ago and have decided to expand into a larger residence on the lake. The two-story single slip party dock is perfect for gatherings/sunbathing and is located in deep water on an open cove, and has been upgraded with new Fortress decking. Over 200 ft of expansive lake frontage and views with space between you & the neighboring docks. With over $80,000 in recent renovations on a 1.32-acre +/- lot this won't last long! Exterior upgrades include adding a new extended driveway, stone sidewalk & fire pit w/ seating area, and fenced area for dogs. Upgrades to the home include adding a new exterior half bathroom (perfect for wet guests), a finished laundry room, solid wood stained walls and ceilings in bedrooms, closets with barn doors in bedrooms, solid wood doors throughout, a new water heater, new light fixtures & fans in bedrooms, and custom wood shutters on windows in bunk room. The completely remodeled and expanded main bathroom has been gutted to the studs and now has a new Italian tile shower and solid brass fixtures. All carpet has been replaced with commercial grade carpet in all bedrooms. Don't be fooled by the smaller sq ft, between the two good sized bedrooms and large bunk room, the home can sleep over 8 people. Property has an open kitchen and living room, with screened inside porch, and large front porch. Convenient location on the lake, close to Dawsonville shopping and GA 400, close to Athens Boat Club and War Hill Park. Location is so close to city you can order Uber Eats delivered right to your dock or use Instacart for your guests! New roof, new gutters and exterior paint in 2021. No HOA. Don't get scared of quirky year-round Halloween decorations, we have to use them to scare our guests into leaving or they don't want to go home! Weather it's used as a primary home, as a vacation home, a lot to build your dream home, or an investment property, this is your opportunity to own a lake property less than 45 min from city of Atlanta!
