Nestled on nearly two acres in an exclusive gated community, this 4 bedroom, 4 and a half bath estate offers refined living across three impeccably finished levels. A pneumatic elevator provides effortless access to every floor, while each bedroom enjoys a private full bath and walk-in closet. The main living area is bathed in natural light, featuring a marble fireplace and custom built-ins, and flows seamlessly to a screened porch overlooking a stone fire pit and lush, professionally landscaped grounds, with extreme privacy from both the porch and backyard. The chef’s kitchen is a masterpiece, boasting KitchenAid appliances, an LG ThinQ refrigerator, double oven, warming drawer/steamer, select custom cabinet inserts, soft-close cabinetry, a powerful yet quiet vent hood, an island with sink, instant hot water, and strategically placed outlets for maximum functionality. The generous owner’s suite features a tray ceiling with lighting, while the spa inspired bath offers an oversized tile shower, separate vanities, towel warming rack, and a washer/dryer in the walk-in closet. Upstairs, a coffee bar with sink and beverage cooler adds a touch of convenience and luxury, while abundant storage and thoughtful design enhance daily living. No detail has been overlooked from air purifiers integrated into the air handlers, whole home dehumidifier, CAT 5 wiring, and surround sound, to a full irrigation system and strategically placed exterior water access. The finished terrace level includes a living area, craft room, full bath, kitchenette/bar, and workshop with woodworking dust collector, plus additional storage for a golf cart. With its private entrance from the driveway, the terrace level could easily function as a separate living space or apartment. This residence is part of a Jackson Electric Smart Energy Efficient neighborhood, requiring the home to meet stringent energy efficiency standards. Additional features include an integrated alarm system with interior and exterior cameras providing 360-degree exterior views for ultimate peace of mind. Outside, a long private driveway leads to a 3 car garage, with ample power and space for an RV. Ideally located between I-85 and I-985, minutes from downtown Gainesville, restaurants, hospitals, and just 20 minutes to Lake Lanier, this home is where function meets luxury in perfect harmony.
