Tired of seeing the same builder-basic floor plan over and over again? This home is definitely not another copy-paste floor plan from the cookie-cutter catalog. If you're craving something unique, private, and full of character-Seldom Seen Acres delivers. Located on 5 serene acres in the heart of Hickory Flat, this custom Cape Cod-style home was once the residence of renowned Georgia oil painter Damon Carter and offers a rare blend of comfort and creativity. With a fresh third-party appraisal on file, it's priced right at value for today's market with the added bonus of NO HOA! A perk test has been completed, and records are available for those looking to potentially subdivide off 2 acres of the land in the future. A gated, tree-lined driveway leads you to this natural light-filled, move-in ready home featuring hickory hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and fresh paint inside and out. The heart of the home is a vaulted great room with a striking stacked-stone fireplace, dining area with room for a 12+ seat dining table, and panoramic views of the Jr. Olympic saltwater pool. The adjacent kitchen shines with Calacatta quartz countertops, warm wood cabinetry, and updated lighting. The main-level primary suite features a bay window, custom walk-in closet, and a 2025-renovated ensuite. Upstairs offers a loft, a bedroom with three closets, full bath remodeled in 2025, and a second oversized bedroom-formerly Damon Carter's art studio-with a private entrance, wet bar, and endless possibilities for a bedroom suite, office, or creative space. The finished, daylight terrace level (updated in 2022) offers two more bedrooms, a full bath, family room, and office/flex options. Outside, enjoy a 20x40 Jr. Olympic saltwater pool, waterfall, and LED lighting. This property also includes an oversized two-car garage (with space for large trucks or a workshop), RV/ATV parking, and multiple fenced areas for gardening or pets. Located just minutes to Milton and Alpharetta, shopping, and dining-yet completely tucked away from it all-this home is also zoned for top-rated schools: Avery Elementary, Creekland Middle, and Creekview High. Per seller, Cherokee County has plans to pave and widen Seldom Seen Trail.
