$700,000

Located in the highly sought-after Mountain Crest community in Forsyth County, this 4-bedroom, 4-bath home offers the perfect blend of custom upgrades, outdoor beauty, and relaxed living. Set on a quiet street with mature trees and winding sidewalks, the home sits in a golf cart-friendly neighborhood where neighbors wave as… Read More they pass, nature trails connect through wooded wetlands, and community spaces bring people together, whether for a morning walk, a pickleball match, or an evening at the pool. From the moment you arrive, it's clear this home has been exceptionally maintained and upgraded with care. The front yard features manicured bushes, a blooming magnolia, and a mature elm that provide shade and privacy for the covered front porch with standout curb appeal. In back, 13 mature trees, crepe myrtles, Japanese maples, fragrant lantana, and rose bushes along the screened porch create a peaceful and private garden setting. A black metal fence encloses the yard, complete with a dog guard. The custom stone patio and hot tub sit in a quiet corner on a dedicated pad with its own breaker. The upper deck off the primary suite overlooks green space and a large shade tree for added privacy. Inside, the home is filled with custom touches and upgraded finishes. The kitchen features a large island with breakfast bar, a gas cooktop, handcrafted pantry shelving, and matching trim on the stove cover and pantry door. A spacious open dining area flows into the living room with a gas fireplace, upgraded stone surround, shiplap detail, and custom built-in bookshelves. Updated lighting runs throughout the home, including recessed lighting and a statement chandelier above the staircase. A solar-powered, remote-controlled stairway shade adds convenience and style. The main level includes a versatile guest room with its own electric fireplace, shiplap accents, sliding barn doors, and a private full bathroom, perfect for hosting, working, or creating a quiet flex space. An additional full bath on the main level adds convenience. The foyer ceiling features wood shiplap that ties into the home's cohesive design. Upstairs, updated wood flooring runs through every room, and wainscoting adds character to the hallway. The primary suite features a custom window seat with built-in storage, crown molding, plantation shutters, and a renovated bath with quartz countertops, dual sinks, lighted mirrors, an open walk-in shower, and wainscoting. The second-floor laundry includes a custom wood countertop for folding and organizing. Three additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, work, or hobbies. The garage has a sealed, finished floor and four large overhead storage racks. One HVAC unit has been replaced, and the home includes two additional breaker panels for future expansion or added systems. What truly sets this property apart is the neighborhood. Mountain Crest offers tennis and pickleball courts, a pool with a waterslide, volleyball courts, a basketball court, community gardens, open green space, and scenic walking paths through preserved wetlands. You might spot deer, songbirds, blue herons, beavers, or other local wildlife as you explore the trails. The neighborhood connects directly to the Big Creek Greenway, making it easy to step outside and onto miles of trails spanning from Cumming through Alpharetta down to Roswell. Golf carts are part of the lifestyle here, and the neighborhood has a warm, connected feel that's hard to find. Just outside the neighborhood, you're minutes from Lake Lanier, Cumming City Center, Costco, Halcyon, the upcoming mixed-use development The Gathering, the Indian Seats hiking trails at Sawnee Mountain, and Hawks Ridge Golf Club, one of Georgia's premier private courses. This isn't just a house, it's a 4 bed, 4 bath home where every space has been upgraded with care, the outdoor setting invites you to relax, and the Mountain Crest community makes it easy to feel right at home.
