Escape to Lake Laceola, a private gated community where scenic lake and mountain views, luxury homes, and peaceful surroundings create a truly special North Georgia retreat--just minutes from the Cleveland Square, Yonah Mtn, and the countless attractions of North Georgia. Set amidst 4.06 acres of mature trees and natural beauty, this craftsman-inspired home offers main and terrace-level living with guest suites on both floors and an open-concept design. Outdoor living includes a grand front porch, screened porch with grilling deck, covered fireside lounge, and lower hot tub deck--perfect for vibrant entertaining or quiet restorative moments. Step inside to soaring 12-foot ceilings highlighted by stained tongue-and-groove wood ceilings in the foyer and living room and thoughtfully crafted wood accents throughout the main living areas. A classic masonry wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, while wide-panel sliding doors open to the screened porch, inviting the outdoors into the heart of the home. The chef's kitchen offers a stained wood gathering island, induction range with double ovens (gas line available), custom wooden range hood, and granite surfaces, along with a picture window sink and island prep sink for added function. Expanding the open concept onward, the dining area opens to the front porch for true indoor-outdoor living. The walk-in pantry is perfect for small appliances, storage, or coffee station. The primary suite, privately located on one side of the home, offers bright, expansive windows and a generous sitting area. The spa-style bath features dual vanities, a soaking tub with picture window, and a large walk-in shower. This wing is completed by a half bath and a mudroom/laundry room with a picturesque window, sink, and granite countertop. On the opposite side of the home, two secondary bedrooms share an oversized bath, complete with dual vanity areas, a separate tub/shower room, and a private water closet. Also, on the main level, a one-car garage connects to a covered walkway leading directly into the mudroom entrance for convenient everyday access. The terrace level offers a spacious half bath and a large slate-tiled flex area ideal for a second living room, recreation room, or additional gathering space, opening to a private deck with hot tub retreat surrounded by mature trees, seasonal sunsets, and the soothing sounds of nature. Two additional rooms-currently used as guest space and a home gym-share an oversized full bath with dual vanities, a separate tub/shower room, and private water closet. An oversized two-car garage with a separate driveway completes the lower level. The 4.06 acres offer wooded privacy with approximately 2 acres of cleared land featuring mature trees, professional landscaping, irrigation, and landscape lighting, along with a beautifully fenced garden area, also serviced by irrigation. From the inviting interiors to the beautifully landscaped surroundings, this home is immaculate inside and out.
