Set on 1.43 acres in North Hall County and priced at $849,900 (MLS 10754106), this custom-built 2005 residence delivers 5,285 finished square feet of versatile living designed for families, multigenerational households, or buyers seeking rental potential. The property combines generous room sizes, practical systems, and outdoor character that make it a standout among Gainesville GA homes for sale.
Inside you will find seven bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two half baths arranged across three levels. The main level highlights single-floor convenience with a primary bedroom suite on the main, two additional main-floor bedrooms, multiple living areas anchored by fireplaces, and quality finishes that encourage everyday comfort and entertaining. Large windows and thoughtful sightlines keep principal living spaces bright and welcoming.
The upper level provides two bedrooms plus an oversized bunk-style room with built-in beds, a full bath, and an office nook — a flexible wing perfect for children, guests, study space, or a private media retreat. These rooms add separation and privacy while keeping the family connected.
A defining feature is the terrace-level living area that functions like a private basement apartment with its own driveway and garage access. That lower level includes a full kitchen, laundry room, living area with a fireplace, two bedrooms (one currently used as an in-home gym), and a bathroom — ideal for extended family, teen independence, short-term rental income, or a home office that stays apart from the main household.
Recent major updates and energy-conscious improvements add long-term value: a replaced roof, newer HVAC equipment, and other efficiency-minded upgrades that reduce operating costs and increase comfort year-round. The home includes three garage spaces, ample parking with two driveways, and no HOA, giving owners freedom and convenience.
Outdoors the property feels like a backyard retreat. The grounds feature charming playhouses, a fenced area for pets or children, and broad lawns ready for gardening, play, or entertaining. The setting is peaceful and private yet conveniently located near Gainesville and easy to reach from Dahlonega, Cleveland, and Helen.
Located in the North Hall school district (High School: North Hall, Middle School: North Hall, Elementary: Mount Vernon), this property appeals to families who want space, separation, and strong local schools. Annual taxes are $5,667 and the home is well suited to buyers seeking a rare combination of scale, flexibility, and move-in readiness.
