Tucked away on a hidden cove on the southern shores of Lake Lanier, there sits a custom-built lake house awaiting your discovery. Its understated elegance is like a gold Submariner Rolex paired with your most comfortable Levi jeans. The antique, hand-carved door coaxes you to pull down your Ray-Bans as you think to yourself, “how big is the penalty for cashing out my 401k early?”
You text your financial advisor “911 - Need to liquidate some investments. Making offer on lake house. NOW.”
You’ve been longing for summers dripping with sunshine and tan lines that make you feel like you’re 25 again. Heck, maybe you can just sell the family house and downsize now. The kids are only 3 to 4 years from moving out. You could rent them an apartment near their high school. They need to learn how to cook and do their own laundry anyway.
Your agent finally arrives after you’ve watched the YouTube video two dozen times. You really don’t need to go inside, you already know you'll be making an offer.... Never the less, this guy needs to earn his commission.
Inside the home is warm and airy. It reminds you of everything you’re currently missing in life: freedom. Simple yet sophisticated, comfortable yet refined. Throw out the rule book when it comes to a traditional lake house. This hybrid floorplan is perfection. You can picture the two-story living room, Zac Brown singing on the radio, Jack Daniels and your friends laughing and savoring life.
The kitchen is better than you expected. The cabinets are custom and the commercial grade cooktop has a built in deep fryer ideal for your famous hand-cut French fries!! Done. Sold. Lock the door Bob and ask the seller what it will take to go under contract in the next hour.
“Look you can see the lake from the master bedroom,” Bob, yells. Who taught this guy how to sell Real Estate? Your golden retriever could do a better job showing homes. He goes on, “I hope you let me stay here when you’re not using it,” he laughs. Where did you find this guy anyway, Zillow?
Upstairs, the loft space is the perfect spot for watching movies after a day on the lake. And if you want to work remotely the library has plenty of room for your desk and another sitting area. Plus there's an additional guest room with a skylight for star gazing and a custom finished bathroom adjacent to it.
But the show-stopper, the Tour de force of this home is the covered deep water dock that typically has over 9-10 feet under the boat slip. You already know you’ll be spending the rest of your summer hanging out on this dock - fishing, swimming and getting to know the neighbors.
In terms of location, it’s a home run. Or more like a hole-in-one, given the nearby golf course. There is NO HOA. I repeat, NO HOA, yet the cul-de-sac and the homes around you are all maintained beautifully. Not to mention it’s just a hop, skip, and a cannonball away from parks, Peachtree Point Amphitheater, a variety of restaurants, and, of course, the notorious Lake Lanier Islands.
Homes this charming should come with a warning label, because they don’t appear on the market often. If you've been fantasizing about living on Lake Lanier prepare to hoist your sail and embark on your greatest adventure yet. Come see why 6693 Woodlake Dr. is everything you’ve been dreaming about and then some. And unlike that yellow Corvette in the garage, this investment will only go up in value.
