!!! Improved Price !!! In the heart of Sterling on the Lake, one of Georgia’s most scenic and sought-after communities,stands a craftsman-style residence that exudes warmth, sophistication, and timeless appeal. Originally built as the Waterford Homes model, this property was crafted to display every premier upgrade and architectural detail the builder had to offer. Since then, it has been reimagined by a professional interior designer, blending classic Southern character with modern refinement and comfort. From the first glance, this home commands attention. The brick-and-stone façade, accented by copper-toned metal roofing and carriage-style garage doors, creates an elegant yet inviting first impression. The covered front porch, framed by Wood columns and graceful double Entry doors, welcomes guests with warmth and charm, surrounded by lush, mature landscaping that complements the home’s natural beauty. Step inside and the sense of craftsmanship unfolds immediately. The two-story foyer introduces exquisite millwork, judges panels, and gleaming hardwood floors that flow seamlessly throughout the main level. To the left, the formal dining room sets a tone of quiet sophistication with Venetian plaster walls, a coffered ceiling, and an imported chandelier—perfect for intimate dinners or festive gatherings. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is both a culinary and visual delight. Faux-finished cabinetry, natural slate floors, Venetian-plaster walls, an antiqued island, and double ovens make this space as functional as it is beautiful. The adjoining keeping room, crowned with rustic beams and a stacked-stone fireplace, feels cozy and connected, while the two-story living room, anchored by a Franklin wood-burning fireplace with gas assist, adds a dramatic yet comfortable focal point that brings the entire home to life. A private office with porch access and a guest suite on the main level add versatility and comfort. Upstairs, the primary suite is a retreat in every sense—featuring a coffered ceiling, gas fireplace, and a peaceful sitting area ideal for morning coffee or evening reflection. The spa-inspired bath offers a Jacuzzi soaking tub, custom octagonal shower, and a beautifully renovated walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms upstairs showcase unique design—one styled as a whimsical treehouse hideaway, the other an under-the-sea retreat—share a loft library with built-in shelving and an adjoining full bath. The finished terrace level is designed for those who love to entertain, featuring a wet bar, wine cellar, game room, and a private theater with surround sound, ceiling projector, and 100-inch screen. A guest suite with exterior access provides comfort and privacy for family or overnight guests.
