Private ranch style home with views of Lake Lanier awaiting its new owners! Located in the new EAST FORSYTH HS District. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch style home, with an unfinished basement showcases a gorgeous wrap around porch that sits on a triple lot that touches Corp property on Lake Lanier. There is no dock but a gentle path (marked with pink flags) to the waters edge for putting in kayaks or paddle boards. Enjoy the outdoors and winter water views from the "Southern Living" style porch. It is possible to remove additional trees to increase your water view! This home needs the finishing touches from its new owners, but features an open floor plan, hardwood floors, oversized windows and endless possibilities! The unfinished basement is flooded with natural light, large rooms and tall ceilings to add even more living space to enjoy!
