442 Shore DR Dahlonega, GA 30533

MOTIVATED SELLER entertaining all offers! Welcome to this tranquil lakeside oasis! Experience the serene beauty and the colorful delights of a newly re-imagined, freshly built, and architecturally designed "Midcentury-Modern" lake home. All period-authentic fixtures were carefully harvested from around the U.S.A., some pieces from as far away as Bangladesh, India, and Java, and were meticulously and professionally restored to their original, pristine shine and function, giving color and vibrancy to excite your senses. This "Retro-Renovation" will delight your senses with a touch of nostalgic Americana. Throughout this Chestatee Shores home, a nautical theme pervades, with authentic naval ship lighting, and artifacts such as chrome and brass portholes and heavy mahogany cabin doors of the upstairs "poop deck" quarters for the shipmates. All the nautical props were part of an Indian Ocean cruise liner. The open concept living space of 1960 is full of nautical character, highlighted by a stained-glass window and a stunning wall of windows that overlooks two acres of lawn down to the water's edge to your very own electrified single slip boat dock on Lake Lanier. Enjoy the ease of walking down to your dock without the fear of wading through snakey woods or steep cliffs. You and your neighbor each have extremely rare mowing permits by the Corps of Engineers, and this entitles you also to use this land for such things as family reunions and large gathering cookouts--and not have to pay property taxes for the land! The 750 square-foot master bedroom has its own wet bar, a huge fireplace and a 20-foot long, double-sided walk-in closet for all your clothing and storage needs. Boasting 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, plus a loft (which could be used for additional sleeping, or as a large home office) this home is an ideal escape for weekends or a permanent retreat. A plethora of recent seller improvements include new external cedar siding for an authentic "lake effect"; an HVAC system with portions that are brand-new; a full-house-length sundeck and party lighting underneath for additional recreation and gathering. All rooms are equipped with quadruple sound-insulated walls and ceilings for ultimate privacy. Each bedroom has its own mini-split or independent heating and cooling, offering greater comfort customizing and energy efficiency. Additional cabinets and a large pantry were installed in the new kitchen, including a new dishwasher. Additionally, individual circuit breaker protection for each bedroom's HVAC unit was included in the new wiring for the home; new ground fault circuits, hardwired smoke detectors, and chargeable manual fire suppression, as well as an ADA-compliant hand bar in the tub for added safety. The home is fitted with double-layer closed-cell foam insulation for an R-45 roof and wall insulation factor, providing optimal energy efficiency. The home has been fully updated with all new recessed lighting, plumbing, code-compliant electrical wiring, and windows. Step outside from the kitchen onto the new low-maintenance back patio and fire pit, perfect for enjoying the outdoors with friends and family. Recent upgrades also include a new water heater (February 2023), new well pump (July 2022), new wide plank wood flooring (July 2022), new carpet (August 2022), all windows have been replaced, many of which are restored "jalousie" style for spring and fall fresh air, all-new doors, code-compliant rewiring of the house (1998 and 2022), and new plumbing (2017 and 2022). This home is built for parties and family get togethers! AND the seller is providing a home warranty!
