Lakefront in the truest sense. 5681 Cricket Melody Lane sits directly on the neighborhood lake and holds what can easily be considered the best view in the community. The backyard is open, level, and fully fenced, giving you private outdoor space with water frontage that almost no other home here can offer. Mornings on this lot just look different! Inside, the main level opens through a welcoming foyer into a flexible front room that works as a home office, formal dining, playroom, or second living area. Beyond it, the kitchen, dining, and family room flow together as one bright, connected space, anchored by an oversized center island and a fireplace in the family room. A custom pantry adds the kind of organized storage that would be the envy of any chef. A full bathroom, two car garage, covered front porch, and rear deck overlooking the lake complete the main floor. Upstairs, four bedrooms surround a generous loft that serves as a second gathering space. The oversized primary suite features a custom built-in closet system and a private bath with double vanity. A second full bath with double vanity, a linen closet, and a full laundry room are all located on the bedroom level. Below, an expansive unfinished full basement runs the footprint of the home and is included with the lease, offering the kind of storage, home gym, workshop, or recreation space that rentals rarely provide. Bikes, kayaks, seasonal items, and everything else finally has somewhere to go. Community amenities include a stocked fishing lake, walking trails, clubhouse, fire pit, barbecue and picnic area, playground, and open green space. Minutes to Lake Lanier, downtown Flowery Branch, Mall of Georgia, UNG, shopping, dining, healthcare, and I-985. Lake view, fenced yard, custom upgrades, and room to spare. Schedule your tour today!
