Discover your ideal mountain retreat-perfectly positioned across the street from beautiful Lake Burton and just minutes from the best of North Georgia! Enjoy quick access to downtown Helen, Clarkesville and Clayton, while still feeling worlds away in your own private escape. Enter the home by way of the oversized screen porch then step inside to an inviting great room with vaulted ceilings, warm wood floors, and a floor to ceiling stone fireplace that instantly sets the mountain cottage mood. Two spacious bedrooms sit on opposite ends of the home for privacy. One opens to a secluded backyard which would lend an ideal spot for a future hottub deck-while the other opens onto a dream of a screened-in porch featuring a large stone fireplace. This is truly the perfect place to unwind and soak in the mountain air. Wrap-around porches offer effortless indoor-outdoor living, and a charming, stone walled carport provides covered parking for your vehicle and/or boat. Across the driveway, a generous flat area is ready for your vision-whether that's a garage/workshop, play area, or garden. As a bonus, there is generous storage and workshop area under the screened porch. The property includes fruit trees, a fire pit, and plenty of usable outdoor space for year-round enjoyment. Keep a boat nearby and enjoy everything the lake lifestyle has to offer. With its proximity to Lake Burton and public marinas, the home has potential to be an excellent short term rental opportunity, (in accordance with county qualifications and regulations). This is the mountain cottage you've been searching for-full of charm, character, and unbeatable location!
