Situated on a level 1.31-acre lot where Hall Creek and Hightower Creek meet, this meticulously maintained craftsman-style home features 2 spacious bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a versatile office or bonus room. Thoughtfully designed with upgrades throughout (see documents for full list), the home showcases an open-concept layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is a standout with a large island, farmhouse sink, and updated appliances, flowing seamlessly into the expansive living area complete with a wood-burning fireplace and French doors that open to a covered deck overlooking the creek. A bright dining area with oversized windows brings in natural light and the soothing sounds of the water. Additional highlights include a large laundry/mud room, attached oversized garage with overhead storage, and a newly added tankless water heater. The current owners have also enhanced the home with new light fixtures, barn doors, a new stove vent, and a high-end microwave. Step outside to enjoy exceptional creek frontage just steps from your back porch. The outdoor space is perfect for relaxing or entertaining, featuring a large covered deck and firepit area. A newly added two-bay workshop provides ample space for tools, equipment, your fishing and canoe or space to work on hobby projects. With its peaceful setting, quality upgrades, and move-in-ready condition, this property is a rare opportunity to own a beautiful creek side retreat in the North Georgia mountains.
