A refined lakeside lifestyle is embodied in this 2022-built residence at 5188 Watchmans Cove, Gainesville, GA, located inside the gated Stephens Point 55+ active-adult community. Listed at $729,000 (MLS 10756121) and offering 4,264 square feet of finished living, this home blends single-level ease with a generous finished terrace level that opens to private outdoor living and wooded views.
Step onto the covered rocking-chair front porch and enter an open foyer laid in durable luxury plank flooring. The main level is organized for comfortable everyday living with three guest bedrooms and a full bathroom plus an expansive primary owners suite. In total the home provides 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and 0 half baths, arranged to support visitors, hobbies and long-term comfort.
At the heart of the home sits a chef-caliber kitchen anchored by a dramatic granite island that exceeds nine feet in length. Pristine white cabinets, a subway-tile backsplash, upgraded stainless appliances including a convection oven and gas cooktop, and generous counter space make meal preparation and entertaining effortless. The kitchen flows to a light-filled dining nook and a family room highlighted by a trey ceiling and a gas fireplace that creates a warm, centralized gathering space.
The primary suite is thoughtfully appointed with room for a sitting area that opens to a private balcony. The primary bath features his and her granite vanities, a large tiled walk-in shower, and a spacious walk-in closet with direct access to the laundry room for maximum convenience and daily efficiency.
The finished walk-out terrace level functions like a low-maintenance secondary living area rather than a traditional basement.
