Just off Riverside and Thompson Bridge in the heart of Gainesville, this all-brick home puts you minutes from downtown, medical facilities, shopping, and dining. Inside, hardwood floors run the length of the main level - not a stitch of carpet - through an open, sunny floor plan. The large kitchen and butler's pantry make hosting easy, and a flexible room off the foyer, framed with custom built-ins, works as a formal dining room or office. The living room opens into a sunroom set up as an additional dining space and keeping room, a favorite spot for slow mornings. Anchoring the main level is the oversized primary suite, complete with a spacious bath and two custom closets. A bonus flex room suits well as a rec room, home gym, or teen hangout. Upstairs, a large open loft area doubles as a second living space alongside three bedrooms and two full baths. Step outside to the back deck and flat, fully fenced yard, where a creek runs along the rear of the property - great for the dogs to cool off, with a new outdoor shower for rinsing off after. Out front, the rocking-chair porch is a nice spot for morning coffee or evening sunsets, now with brand-new Anderson windows across the front exterior and a new front door arriving in September. Hardwood trees and creek access give the backyard privacy, while the flat, manicured front yard adds curb appeal.

Some properties are listed. This one is unveiled. Behind private electronic gates, 3.76 fully fenced acres of manicured lawn roll gently to the deep waters of Lake Lanier - and to a lakefront lifestyle that cannot be replicated: open big-water views, a permitted single-slip dock with sundeck and swim platform, and a brand-new resort pool complex - infinity-edge design, sculpted fountains, a flaming fire bowl, sun-splashed tanning deck, and private spa - completed just this summer. The residence is a 2024 architect-designed European masterwork - 4,762 square feet of true single-level living beneath a skyline of 10-to-16-foot ceilings: modified vaults, double treys, tongue-and-groove and coffered wood. Underfoot, polished concrete floors shimmer with hand-applied gold fleck; overhead, cascading custom light installations spill from the foyer, living, and dining rooms. Authentic Versace designer tile, interior French doors, bespoke millwork, and smart lighting complete a level of finish rarely attempted, let alone achieved. The kitchen commands attention: a sculptural faceted island, Sub-Zero refrigeration, double ovens, pot filler, custom cabinetry, granite and quartz surfaces, and a full butler's service with wet bar for effortless entertaining. The living room's water-vapor fireplace dances behind glass - one of two, the second warming the primary suite. And what a suite it is: a private wing with its own lake-view sitting room, two custom-fitted dressing closets, and a bath conceived as a personal spa - four sinks across two floating double vanities, a sculptural free-standing soaking tub, and a double-headed shower wrapped floor to ceiling in designer tile. Four additional bedrooms, three further designer baths and a jewel-box powder room, a laundry suite with dog-wash station, and a fitted mud room complete the plan. Security and self-sufficiency are absolute: ballistic-rated exterior doors, windows, and garage doors; dual water heaters; dual electric panels; full irrigation; and aluminum perimeter fencing with electronic gated entry. More than 1,100 square feet of covered porches with wood-inlaid ceilings frame the water - and now overlook poolside evenings lit by firelight. A four-car garage with custom glass doors - plus parking for six more - welcomes a collection. No HOA. New construction of this caliber, on acreage, on deep water, with dock in hand, arrives on Lake Lanier perhaps once in a generation. Private tours by appointment.
