Set on 1.67 private acres with nearly 300 feet of deep-water frontage, this Grant Hafner Construction fully renovated Lake Burton property combines exceptional waterfront, long-range views, and a level of accessibility rarely found on the lake. Positioned high above the water, the home captures panoramic lake and mountain views. A paved driveway extends from the house to the boathouse, allowing access to the waterfront by car or golf cart-a rare and highly practical feature on Lake Burton. Originally custom built in 1995, the residence has undergone a comprehensive renovation inside and out, including the home, boathouse, docks, and landscaping. The result is a property that feels entirely current while maintaining the character and proportions of a well-built custom home. The four-bedroom, three-and-one-half-bath floor plan is designed for lake living, with expansive wraparound porches on both levels and seamless connections to the outdoor spaces. Interior finishes include white oak flooring throughout, reclaimed oak beams, custom millwork, Taj Mahal quartzite, Soapstone, and Visual Comfort lighting. The kitchen is equipped with Thermador and Sub-Zero appliances, while every bathroom has been completely redesigned with marble and tile, custom stone surfaces, Toto fixtures, and premium plumbing appointments. The waterfront improvements are equally considered. The boathouse features new Ipe decking, a cedar shake roof, updated lighting, a new boat lift, and extensive renovations throughout. New stone steps, professionally designed landscaping, a new corrugated metal roof, steel front entry door, and numerous exterior improvements complete the transformation. With three separate driveways, ample guest parking, nearly 300 feet of shoreline, deep water, and the rare convenience of vehicle access to the waterfront, this is a thoughtfully renovated Lake Burton property where the quality of the improvements is matched by the quality of the setting. Georgia Power Company Transfer Fee is $20,000.
