5188 Watchmans Cove Gainesville GAThis exceptional Stephens Point residence, offered at $729,000 (MLS# 10756121), delivers 4,264 square feet of thoughtfully designed living across a main level and a fully finished terrace level. Positioned mere steps from Lake Lanier inside a gated 55+ active adult community, the property pairs modern finishes with resort-style amenities on a 0.16-acre lot in Hall County. The home was built in 2022 and shows like new.

Light-filled and gracious, the main floor includes four bedrooms and three full bathrooms with zero half baths, anchored by a generous primary suite that accommodates a sitting area and opens to a private outdoor balcony. The primary bath features dual vanities with stone counters, a large tiled walk-in shower, and a sizable walk-in closet with direct access to the laundry room for convenient daily living.

The heart of the home is a chef-ready kitchen appointed with pristine white cabinetry, expansive granite counters and a dramatic island exceeding nine feet in length. High-end stainless-steel appliances include a convection oven and a gas cooktop while a subway tile backsplash and abundant pantry space complete the culinary workspace. The kitchen flows into a family room framed by a trey ceiling and a gas fireplace, creating a natural gathering zone for meals and entertaining.

Below, the finished luxury terrace level broadens the home with a second open family room, a game area, and a fully equipped wet bar featuring a beverage refrigerator, ice maker, and large wine cooler. That level also hosts a guest bedroom and a full bath with a custom-tiled shower, a dedicated home gym, and a generous home office with a walk-in closet ideal for storage or hobby space.

Outdoor living is thoughtfully staged with a covered rear deck and patio, an open paver patio, a fenced yard and an in-ground luxury spa for year-round relaxation. Lush wooded views create a private backdrop while the community clubhouse and back rocking-chair porch provide additional spots to enjoy Lake Lanier scenery. Stephens Point residents benefit from lighted pickleball and tennis courts, a large community pool, organized clubs and activities, and a private 14-slip courtesy dock on deep water.

Practical features include an open-rail stairwell, durable luxury plank flooring on both levels, upgraded tiled floors and granite vanities in guest baths, and a thoughtfully planned flow for single-level living with generous entertaining space downstairs. Tax information lists annual taxes at $4,920. Schools serving the property are West Hall High School, West Hall Middle School, and Everwood Elementary.

Located minutes from historic downtown Flowery Branch and Gainesville, with quick access to I-985, this home delivers a blend of lake access, active-adult community life, and low-maintenance living close to shopping, dining and the North Georgia mountains.
