This is a wonderful home for a family or a great rental for investors! It has been freshly painted inside and has great bones. ready for you to add a few finishing touches to make it yours and provide instant equity. Plenty of space to store your boat or RV on 1.24 acres, and a beautiful walk to the lake, approximately one mile away, where Keith Bridge Park has a boat ramp, grills, and a swimming area. Old Keith Bridge Road dead ends into the lake so you feel away from it all, but North Georgia Premium Outlet Mall and plenty of restaurants are minutes away. Easily accessible to Cumming, Dawsonville, and Gainesville. Great floorplan with lots of natural light upstairs and down so the basement doesn't feel like many dreary basements, but is bright and cheerful like the main living area. Besides the two additional bedrooms and full bath downstairs, there is also another large room for storage, an office, workout room or whatever you may envision!! Hurry, and bring your best offer as this is a great find that will go quick!!
