Serene North Georgia Retreat with Pond Views & Modern Upgrades - No HOA, No Restrictions! Welcome to your peaceful slice of North Georgia paradise! Nestled on 1.68 picturesque acres with a tranquil pond in the front yard, this beautiful home offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort-without the burden of HOA fees or restrictions. Step inside to find floor-to-ceiling windows and soaring tongue and groove ceilings that flood the home with natural light and bring the outdoors in. The popular open floor plan features hardwood floors throughout, updated lighting and plumbing fixtures, and tiled bathrooms. The spacious living and dining areas flow seamlessly into a modern kitchen with a bar area, solid countertops and plenty of cabinetry. This home features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, including a luxurious master suite with pond views, a walk-in closet that spans the entire width of the room, a soaking tub, and an oversized custom-tiled shower. Two additional bedrooms share a stylish Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a standalone tiled shower. A convenient half bath is located off the main living area, along with a dedicated laundry space just off the kitchen. Enjoy peaceful mornings or relaxing evenings on the covered rocking chair front porch, or step out from any front-facing room onto a private deck to take in the pond views and wildlife. The fenced backyard is perfect for kids or fur babies, with raised garden and flower beds for your green thumb. An oversized all-season bonus room, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, lets you soak in the view year-round, no matter the weather. Off the bonus room is a flex space ideal for a home office, studio, or reading nook. Outside, entertain guests on the open grilling deck, and don't miss the detached utility building-converted into a fun "man cave" complete with a TV and entertaining space. Located just minutes from Helen, downtown Cleveland, and Clarkesville, this home offers easy access to local wineries, restaurants, shopping, hiking, and waterfalls. Whether you're enjoying birdsong on the porch or spotting deer from your deck, this peaceful haven invites you to unwind and reconnect with nature-every day.
