4455 Palmetto Lane

Welcome to lakeside living at its finest. Nestled within the coveted gated community of Hickory Lakeside on the south end of Lake Lanier - one of the most sought-after stretches of the lake - this stunning 2020-built ranch home delivers the lifestyle you've been dreaming of, complete with designated boat slip. Situated on a beautifully landscaped, fenced .85-acre lot, this home makes a lasting first impression. The 8' Knotty Alder double front doors offer a warm, unhurried welcome before you ever step inside. Recent upgrades include freshly painted interior, new cabinet hardware, custom window treatments, and updated main floor lighting. The heart of the home is a show-stopping chef's kitchen appointed with premium appliances - including a JennAir 6-burner gas range with griddle and double ovens, panel-front SubZero refrigerator, pot-filler, quartz counters and island, custom shelved walk-in pantry with new butcher block counter and a butler's pantry with beverage/wine cooler. Hardwood floors flow throughout the main living areas with 10’ main floor ceilings. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring direct laundry room access, a freestanding soaking tub, frameless designer-tile shower, and a custom closet system by Tailored Living. Upstairs, a second-floor bonus/bedroom with full bath provides the perfect flex space for guests, a teen suite, or playroom. Step outside and discover a backyard made for entertaining. A 16'x14' pavilion with full outdoor kitchen, Blaze 36" gas grill, Bodega refrigerator drawers, and a fire pit creates the perfect gathering spot. The 30'x14' heated saltwater pool with tanning ledge, just built in 2025, invites you to soak in every season, while the covered and screened rear patio - complete with disappearing pocket sliders, gas fireplace, sun shades, and epoxy floor - offers a seamless indoor-outdoor experience all year long. The unfinished side-entry basement presents a rare opportunity: a blank canvas ready to be built to suit your vision - whether that means a home theater, gym, in-law suite, or additional entertaining space. The bones are there; bring your inspiration. Located in top-rated Forsyth County school district and just minutes from GA-400, premier shopping, dining, Cumming City Center, and the upcoming Crossing at Coal Mountain mixed-use development, this home offers the rare trifecta of lake lifestyle, community, and convenience.
