Escape to Lake Laceola, a private gated community where scenic lake and mountain views, luxury homes, and peaceful surroundings create a truly special North Georgia retreat–just minutes from the Cleveland Square, Yonah Mtn, and the countless attractions of North Georgia. Set amidst 4.06 acres of mature trees and natural beauty, this craftsman-inspired home offers main and terrace-level living with guest suites on both floors and an open-concept design. Outdoor living includes a grand front porch, screened porch with grilling deck, covered fireside lounge, and lower hot tub deck–perfect for vibrant entertaining or quiet restorative moments. Step inside to soaring 12-foot ceilings highlighted by stained tongue-and-groove wood ceilings in the foyer and living room and thoughtfully crafted wood accents throughout the main living areas. A classic masonry wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, while wide-panel sliding doors open to the screened porch, inviting the outdoors into the heart of the home. The chefs kitchen offers a stained wood gathering island, induction range with double ovens (gas line available), custom wooden range hood, and granite surfaces, along with a picture window sink and island prep sink for added function. Expanding the open concept onward, the dining area opens to the front porch for true indoor-outdoor living. The walk-in pantry is perfect for small appliances, storage, or coffee station. The primary suite, privately located on one side of the home, offers bright, expansive windows and a generous sitting area. The spa-style bath features dual vanities, a soaking tub with picture window, and a large walk-in shower. This wing is completed by a half bath and a mudroom/laundry room with a picturesque window, sink, and granite countertop. On the opposite side of the home, two secondary bedrooms share an oversized bath, complete with dual vanity areas, a separate tub/shower room, and a private water closet. Also, on the main level, a one-car garage connects to a covered walkway leading directly into the mudroom entrance for convenient everyday access. The terrace level offers a spacious half bath and a large slate-tiled flex area ideal for a second living room, recreation room, or additional gathering space, opening to a private deck with hot tub retreat surrounded by mature trees, seasonal sunsets, and the soothing sounds of nature. Two additional rooms-currently used as guest space and a home gym-share an oversized full bath with dual vanities, a separate tub/shower room, and private water closet. An oversized two-car garage with a separate driveway completes the lower level. The 4.06 acres offer wooded privacy with approximately 2 acres of cleared land featuring mature trees, professional landscaping, irrigation, and landscape lighting, along with a beautifully fenced garden area, also serviced by irrigation. From the inviting interiors to the beautifully landscaped surroundings, this home is immaculate inside and out.
