Welcome to a private LAKE ALLATOONA retreat offering DIRECT WALKING ACCESS to the lake and exceptional flexibility for potential INCOME-PRODUCING opportunities, MULTIGENERATIONAL living, or private guest accommodations in sought-after Cobb County! Nestled on NEARLY ONE ACRE, this thoughtfully updated raised ranch/split-level home blends peaceful natural surroundings with the highly desirable Lake Allatoona lifestyle. Whether you're searching for room to spread out, space for extended family, income-producing potential, or a private lakeside retreat just minutes from everyday conveniences, this property offers a rare combination of privacy, versatility, and outdoor living. The thoughtfully designed split-level layout allows portions of the home to function independently while maintaining shared gathering spaces. A CENTRALLY LOCATED COMMON AREA near the laundry creates the opportunity to comfortably SEPARATE LIVING AREAS while maintaining connectivity. Spacious living areas, TWO KITCHENS, abundant natural light, and major updates-including a NEWER FURNACE, WATER HEATER, and HVAC with a transferable maintenance plan through May 2027-provide added peace of mind. Inside, abundant natural light fills the open-concept main living area. The MAIN LEVEL features newer front and rear windows, hardwood flooring throughout much of the home, spacious living and dining areas, an inviting KITCHEN with abundant cabinetry, a SUNROOM, a generous primary suite with TWO CLOSETS and an ensuite bath, plus two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath. Beyond the shared common area, a beautifully renovated PRIVATE LIVING SPACE offers fresh paint, LVP flooring, a spacious new primary bedroom with an added closet, versatile living space highlighted by an exposed brick accent wall, and a beautifully updated bath featuring granite countertops, new cabinetry and vanity, upgraded plumbing, recessed lighting, modern fixtures, a towel warmer, and improved ventilation. Completing this private living area is a fully renovated DAYLIGHT SECONDARY BASEMENT KITCHEN with granite countertops, a center island, new cabinetry, and all-new stainless steel LG appliances. With its own private exterior entrance, this exceptional space is ideal for INCOME-PRODUCING opportunities, MULTIGENERATIONAL LIVING, or private guest accommodations. As an added bonus, THE SELLER IS WILLING TO INCLUDE ALL FURNITURE, creating a truly turnkey opportunity! The backyard has been thoughtfully enhanced with new sod, landscaping, decorative rock accents, shrubbery, solar lighting, downspout extensions, a French drain, and a beautifully designed dry creek bed, while preserving natural areas filled with blooming violets, pear trees, clover for the bees, and glowing fireflies. A large storage/workshop offers endless possibilities for hobbies, storage, a home office, playhouse, or creative retreat. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, marinas, and recreation, this exceptional property is just a SHORT WALK-or one-minute drive-to Proctor Landing Park, where you'll enjoy a swimming beach, boat ramp, fishing pier, sand volleyball courts, picnic areas, grills, playgrounds, and scenic walking trails. Adding to its unique appeal, the neighborhood also offers DIRECT WALKING ACCESS to secluded forest trails leading to a hidden swimming area for those with an adventurous spirit. This is Lake Allatoona living at its best-peaceful, private, updated, and filled with exceptional flexibility and charm!
