Welcome to 172 Golf Crest Drive in Bentwater, one of North Paulding’s most established and amenity-rich golf course communities. This move-in ready home offers the space buyers want, the updates they appreciate, and the neighborhood lifestyle that is hard to match. With 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, a 3-car garage, and a large fenced backyard, this home blends everyday comfort with the kind of setting that makes people want to stay awhile. From the moment you arrive, the classic brick front elevation, covered front porch, and manicured curb appeal create a warm first impression. Inside, the two-story foyer opens to hardwood floors, detailed trim work, a formal dining room, and a private office with built-ins and French doors. The main living area is bright and welcoming with soaring ceilings, a dramatic wall of windows, and a fireplace that anchors the family room. The kitchen has been updated with white cabinetry, solid surface counters, a center island, double ovens, gas cooktop, walk-in pantry, built-in desk area, and a layout that opens easily to the breakfast area and family room, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The main level also includes a bedroom and full bath, offering flexibility for guests, a home office setup, or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the oversized owner’s suite feels like a true retreat with room for a sitting area, a tray ceiling, large windows, and a spacious bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, separate shower, vaulted ceiling, and a generous walk-in closet. Secondary bedrooms are well-sized, and the upstairs laundry room adds convenience right where you need it. The basement adds valuable flexible space without overpromising what it is. The true finished area is an additional family room or recreation space, while the remaining terrace level includes a partial finished area, a workshop area, and a bath stub already in place for future possibilities. Just outside, the large patio off the basement is nicely protected by the covered deck above, giving buyers another functional outdoor living space to enjoy in every season. The backyard is one of the real highlights of this home. It is large, fenced, and usable, with plenty of room for play, pets, and gatherings. The screened porch and covered upper deck create the kind of outdoor setup buyers are always hoping to find, whether for quiet mornings, game day hosting, or simply enjoying the backyard view. What truly sets this property apart is the Bentwater community itself. Bentwater is known throughout North Paulding for its exceptional amenities and strong sense of community, with five separate amenity areas that include pools, tennis courts, pickleball, playgrounds, walking paths, and golf. Sidewalk-lined streets, scenic areas near the creek, and a neighborhood design that encourages both recreation and connection make this community especially appealing for buyers looking for more than just a house. This is the kind of neighborhood where buyers are not just purchasing a home, they are stepping into a lifestyle. From golf and swim, to tennis, pickleball, walking trails, and community spaces that encourage connection, Bentwater continues to stand out as one of the area’s most sought-after places to call home. If you have been looking for a well-maintained, move-in ready home with room to spread out, great outdoor living, and a community people truly love, this one is worth a closer look.
