Listed by Mano Sells Homes: Nestled in the sought-after 55+ community of Cresswind at Lake Lanier, this Dahlia floorplan craftsman-style home blends charm, comfort, and a vibrant lifestyle. Meticulous landscaping and a welcoming front porch-complete with a remote-controlled ceiling fan-set the tone, offering a beautiful view of the neighborhood. Inside, the thoughtfully designed layout makes every corner feel inviting and functional. The huge living room serves as the heart of the home, anchored by a natural gas fireplace and offering plenty of space for an array of furniture. The Tuscany-style kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring a built-in wine rack, coffee station, pantry, and a suite of appliances including a GE wall convection oven (2007) paired with an additional oven, a LG wall microwave (2011), and a GE dishwasher (2007) conveniently set in the peninsula. A separate dining room, enhanced by a built-in wall display, comfortably seats twelve, making it ideal for both intimate gatherings and holiday celebrations. In the front of the home is an office with French doors. The owner's suite is a serene retreat with an expansive layout and two walk-in California closets. The spa-inspired bathroom features dual vanities with customized mirrors, a linen closet, a sunken soaking tub, and a luxurious walk-in shower with a built-in seat and four soothing sprays. Additional bedrooms provide versatility and comfort: a large second bedroom includes a portable corner fireplace and nearby full bath, while the third bedroom has its own closet and easy access to the same hallway bath. At the front of the home, a flexible space with French doors serves perfectly as an office or a fourth bedroom. The enclosed brick sunroom is a year-round favorite, showcasing a stamped concrete floor, three sets of French doors, two ceiling fans, electric shades, and a dedicated Daikin heat pump system (2021) providing AC, heat, and fan options. From here, enjoy peaceful views of the expansive, beautifully landscaped backyard and lush wooded backdrop, enhanced in 2023 with a full lawn and garden refresh. Practicality meets ease in the laundry room, equipped with a 2021 stainless steel front-load washer and dryer, four oak cabinets, a utility sink, and additional cabinetry and drawer space. The double-car garage includes two overhead storage racks and wall shelving, providing ample organization. Throughout the home, plantation shutters, remote-controlled ceiling fans with lights (in every room except the office), and even a fan on the front porch add to the comfort and thoughtful details. This home has been meticulously maintained with significant updates for peace of mind: a Lennox HVAC system, roof replaced in 2020, energy-efficient windows and thermostat, carbon monoxide detectors, and an EMC alarm system (currently disconnected). The HVAC and heat pump systems are serviced twice yearly, while monthly pest control and a termite bond ensure continued protection. In recent years, both interior and exterior were professionally painted (2023), carpets deep cleaned (2023), ducts, vents, dryer, and chimney serviced (2023), and the porch, patio, sidewalk, house, and driveway professionally power washed (2024). Beyond the home, the award-winning lifestyle at Cresswind at Lake Lanier elevates everyday living. Begin mornings with a workout in the fitness center or a paddle across the lake, spend afternoons playing tennis, pickleball, or enjoying indoor and outdoor pools, and close the day with friends over billiards, fishing, or one of 100+ clubs. Every day offers new opportunities and a welcoming sense of community. A beautifully maintained home paired with a neighborhood designed for connection and recreation-this is where comfort meets possibility.
