Perfect for family living and entertaining! This updated ranch has an inviting, functional layout anchored around a spacious living room and adjacent open kitchen/dining area. The beautiful kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, walk-in pantry and the island makes for plenty of room for more than one cook! A split bedroom plan allows for privacy, but with the convenience of everything on one level. Owner's suite features walk-in closets and bath with double vanity. Two additional bedrooms are generously sized and share a bathroom. When the weather is warm, life moves outdoors. Bask in the sun on the custom deck surrounding an above ground pool, let the pets play in the fenced back yard, fire up the grill on the back deck, enjoy watching the birds, squirrels, and deer in the woods, or sip your favorite beverage on the rocking chair front porch. The two-car garage is currently used for storage and home gym. A carport was added for vehicle parking. A small outbuilding provides storage. New heat pump and roof in 2023. This home's location feels like country living, but is just minutes from Clarkesville and Demorest, with shopping, restaurants, hospital and more. Easy access to highways lets you head out and explore the north Georgia mountains with local vineyards and breweries, lakes, waterfalls and hiking trails. And if you need a dose of city life, or a major airport, you are only about 90 miles from Atlanta or Greenville.
