Tucked away in one of Acworth’s most unique settings, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers the feeling of a private retreat while remaining just minutes from Downtown Acworth and Lake Allatoona. Situated on approximately .81 acres and bordered on two sides by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers property, this home is surrounded by mature trees, lush landscaping and incredible outdoor living spaces. Step inside to a warm, inviting interior filled with character. The opened-up floor plan features rich wood flooring, exposed architectural details and a stunning brick fireplace that anchors the spacious living area. Large windows bring in abundant natural light and frame views of the surrounding greenery.

Outside is where this property truly shines. Spend summer days around the in-ground pool with a newer liner, entertain on the surrounding patios and decks, or relax beneath the pergola and gazebo while enjoying the privacy created by the wooded surroundings. The grounds are filled with established landscaping, including Japanese maples, crepe myrtles, hydrangeas, banana trees and thoughtfully designed garden areas.
