This newly built European-inspired home offers the rare opportunity to enjoy comfort and clean line design that only new construction homes on the lake provide. Nearly 4, 100 sq ft of thoughtfully crafted space with soaring ceilings, dramatic windows, and curated finishes that create an elevated yet inviting feel.

A vaulted, oversized back porch overlooks the lake and offers a peaceful setting for morning coffee or relaxed evenings outdoors. The owner's suite feels like a private retreat with a nice view of the water, a coffee station, spa-style bath, and boutique closet. Three additional bedrooms and well-appointed baths provide comfort for family and guests. The terrace level is designed for entertaining with a full bar, wine cooler, recreation lounge, gas fireplace, full bath and office/bonus room. A gentle path leads to the shoreline, where a private platform dock offers space for boat tie up, launching kayaks and paddleboards and swimming. An oversized patio under the porch is the perfect spot for cookouts, and the grassy lawn is flat for fun and games. With a long concrete drive, oversized two-car garage with golf cart space, and EV charging prep this home blends modern convenience with a quiet setting close to marinas, shopping, dining and Hwy 400 that provides easy access to Atlanta.
