With major systems already handled-NEW ROOF (2 YEARS), NEW FURNACE (THIS YEAR), NEW DUCTWORK, NEW WINDOWS, AND RECENT PAINT INSIDE & OUT-you're stepping into a home where the heavy lifting is already done. Set in a QUIET, SOUGHT-AFTER AREA WITH GREAT NEIGHBORS, this four-sided brick, single-story home offers both stability and flexibility. The NO HOA + NO RENT RESTRICTIONS combination makes it especially attractive for buyers looking to live in, rent out, or hold as a long-term investment.

Inside, you'll find a blend of character and updates, including a RENOVATED KITCHEN AND BATH, CERAMIC TILE & HARDWOOD FLOORS, and a charming ORIGINAL CLAWFOOT TUB that adds timeless appeal. Insulated windows help with efficiency, while the layout keeps living simple and functional. Location ties it all together-convenient to schools, shopping, LAKE LANIER, the mountains, and an easy drive to Atlanta-making this a strategic buy whether you're thinking lifestyle, investment, or both. Opportunities with this level of updates, location, and flexibility are getting harder to find.
