Step into a spotless, designer-inspired residence in the gated Stephens Point 55+ community just steps from Lake Lanier. Offered at $729,000 (MLS 10756121), this 4,264 square foot home built in 2022 blends single-level ease with a fully finished terrace level for extra living, storage, and entertaining. The property sits on a 0.16-acre lot in Hall County and delivers four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and zero half baths—an ideal arrangement for active adults who want room for guests, hobbies, and daily comfort.
The covered rocking-chair front porch sets a relaxed tone and leads to an open foyer with durable luxury plank flooring. A flexible formal dining room sits near the entry and can serve as a second living area or hobby room. Natural light floods the main living spaces, where a family room with a trey ceiling and gas fireplace opens to the kitchen for seamless entertaining and everyday flow.
Home chefs will appreciate the gourmet kitchen finished with crisp white cabinetry, expansive granite counters, an oversized island more than nine feet long, and a subway tile backsplash. Stainless appliances include a convection oven and a gas cooktop, while pantry storage and a bright breakfast area make the layout exceptionally functional for meal prep and casual dining.
The primary owners suite is a private retreat with space for a sitting area and direct access to a secluded balcony overlooking wooded views. The en suite bath features his and her vanities with stone counters, a generous walk-in tiled shower, and a sizable walk-in closet that connects directly to the laundry room for convenience.
Descend the open-rail stairwell to the impressive finished terrace level, a true extension of the home's living footprint. This lower level hosts an expansive second family room, a dedicated game area, and a fully equipped wet bar with a beverage refrigerator, ice maker, and large wine cooler. Additional rooms include a guest bedroom with a custom-tiled full bath, a home gym, and a spacious home office with a walk-in closet for extra storage or wardrobe needs.
Outdoor living is thoughtfully designed for privacy and entertaining. A covered back deck and patio step down to a paver patio and a fenced yard, where a luxury spa creates a peaceful backyard oasis surrounded by trees. The setting offers a serene backdrop for morning coffee or evening gatherings with friends and family.
Stephens Point provides an active lifestyle with a clubhouse that overlooks Lake Lanier, a community pool, lighted pickleball and tennis courts, and a private 14-slip courtesy dock on deep water. The neighborhood of 174 homes hosts clubs and events that keep residents engaged, and the gated entry adds an extra layer of security and community appeal.
Location is convenient to historic downtown Flowery Branch and Gainesville, with easy access to I-985, regional dining and shopping, and a short drive to the North Georgia mountains for weekend escapes.
