AN EXCEPTIONAL FIND IN THE RETREAT AT STERLING ON THE LAKE! For buyers who know value when they see it, this beautifully upgraded David Weekley home stands apart with an impressive combination of space, premium features, a rare .25-acre lot, and resort-style 55+ living -- all at a price that makes this one of the most compelling homes in the community.
Perched on a premium hilltop cul-de-sac lot with long-range views, this home offers something especially difficult to find in The Retreat: a rare sense of privacy with minimal exposure to surrounding neighbors. Elegant wrought-iron fencing encloses the outdoor space, creating a private retreat ideal for pets, family gatherings, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting. Covered front and rear patios extend the living space outdoors.
Inside, soaring 10-foot ceilings, crown molding, abundant natural light, and an open-concept design create a spacious and inviting atmosphere. A dedicated home office just off the foyer is perfect for remote work, reading, or hobbies.
Enjoy a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring a large center island, gas cooktop with vent hood, custom pull-out cabinetry, oversized walk-in pantry, and built-in coffee bar. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area and family room, where a gas fireplace and dramatic wall of windows overlook the backyard.
The main-level primary suite offers custom closet systems, electric room-darkening shades, and a well-appointed ensuite bath with dual vanities and walk-in shower. Tucked away for privacy, it provides a peaceful place to unwind without looking directly into neighboring homes. Two additional bedrooms offer comfortable accommodations for family and guests.
Upstairs, an expansive loft truly separates this home from many competing floor plans. With 9-foot ceilings, additional storage, and large windows, this flexible second living space is ideal as a media room, fitness studio, craft room, library, home office, or guest retreat -- complete with beautiful natural light, morning sunrises, and peaceful nighttime views.
Additional features include stepless entry, a spacious two-car garage, custom storage solutions, and HOA-maintained lawn care for easy, low-maintenance living.
Residents enjoy exclusive access to The Retreat clubhouse, resort-style pool, pickleball courts, fitness amenities, and social activities, plus full access to Sterling on the Lake's lakeside pavilions, kayaking, fishing, walking trails, tennis courts, community events, and recreation.
Conveniently located near Lake Lanier, Downtown Flowery Branch, Gainesville, and Northeast Georgia Medical Center, this home offers an exceptional combination of location, lifestyle, and value.
With its premium cul-de-sac setting, rare fenced .25-acre lot, larger floor plan, flexible upstairs living space, extensive upgrades, and outstanding community amenities, this is an opportunity that deserves attention.
