This well-maintained log home on 1 acre in Dawsonville is absolutely charming! The private lot backing up to the woods adds to the appeal and provides a serene setting. With 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, including a master on the main floor and a large bedroom and bath on the second floor, this home offers plenty of space for comfortable living. The two sun porches overlooking the private setting must be a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy nature, especially with hummingbirds visiting to feed. It is a little piece of heaven right in your own yard. The high ceilings in the home contribute to a spacious and airy feel, adding to the overall appeal. And of course, having a rocking porch swing to enjoy while watching your dog's play in the backyard is a delightful feature. The playhouse on the property adds a touch of fun and can be enjoyed by individuals of any age. Being only 3 miles from War Hill Park on Lake Lanier, this property offers easy access to a variety of water activities such as swimming, volleyball, kayaking, and camping. The presence of a public boat ramp nearby is definitely a bonus for boat owners. Shopping at the North Ga Premium outlets is less than 5 miles away. Overall, this log home in Dawsonville is a fantastic opportunity to own a charming and picturesque property with easy access to shopping, nature and water activities. For those who qualify this home has the option of a 2.75% VA assumable mortgage, terms & conditions apply.
