**Pictures to follow with Active Listing** Welcome to your new home in Gainesville's desirable North Hall School district and close to Lake Lanier, with only 5 minutes to the Wahoo Creek (free) boat ramp with (free) parking and cozy beach/picnic area, for those that prefer a non-motorized day at the lake. The friendly dog-walking neighborhood and great schools only add to the appeal of this home. The house offers a thoughtfully designed open-concept first floor of living space including the half-bath and laundry. The second floor boasts three bedrooms and two full baths. The studded, wired, and plumbed full basement with both interior and exterior entrances, await your future home-hack, live/work/play space. Entering, you'll immediately feel the draw of newly painted walls contrasting with the light hardwood floors throughout, and high ceilings and a well-lit, open concept first floor of living space greets you. The family room with fireplace and ceiling fan eases into your full dining area that leads to the sun-filled kitchen, with room for a breakfast nook in front of a wall of windows, overlooking the wooded backyard area. The island in the middle, with two convenient electrical outlets, has storage on the stove side, sitting room for stools on the window side and plenty of work space in between. Blonde wood cabinets surround you. The half bath and large laundry room complete the circle back to the front door. The second floor features a large primary bedroom and primary bath with a double sink, separate WC, bathtub, shower, and handy closet in the back. There are two generous guest bedrooms, a full guest bath, and five closets between the bedrooms and the hall. Off the front guest bedroom, you'll find an unfinished bonus area, and there's a pull-down ladder in the hall for the full attic storage. All bedrooms have ceiling fans and newly cleaned Berber carpeting. Two separate HVACs keep both floors cool, and the double-pane windows throughout the house, with easy clean design, let the light in and keep the cold out. The large garage, rocking chair porch, and private back deck all add to making this an easy choice for your next home. There's a new Publix across the street, and Kroger and an excellent Mexican restaurant, two more minutes away. This charmer is far enough away to be immersed in nature and wildlife, yet only fifteen minutes to Jesse Jewel Parkway, the Northeast Georgia Medical Center, I-985 and the road to Atlanta, offering accessibility to both worlds.
