Description

This brand-new home is beginning to really finish out well with its new roof, siding, front porch and huge decks; windows and exterior doors are now done, and drywall is being installed in the first week of July. At this rate, we could easily be available to close within the next 2 months (appx end of August). At this point, many remaining decisions with regards to colors, flooring, interior trim, bath tile, lighting, kitchen appliances, etc. can all fortunately still be custom made by any early purchaser. This floorplan is a custom modified "Frank Betz-designed" Gulfport House Plan - The Gulfport is the perfect blend of classic exterior style and modern interior amenities. The steep pitched main roof and low-slung porches dictate the elevation. Standing seam metal roofing front porch & lifetime limited warranty architectural shingled roof, along with traditional clapboard (some board & batten) siding are the materials of choice that create a classic low-country design. Wide porches on both front and rear will catch cooling breezes and provide the favorite location for a conversation or a good book. The main level is anchored by a huge grand room and open kitchen. The grand room has a huge oversized warming fireplace and built-in cabinetry on both sides. The kitchen has a large island and a cozy banquette. The huge front & rear porches add living space to enjoy fair weather. The master suite has a tray ceiling and is fitted with 2-tall exit doorways to a huge 8' deep side-deck with wide lake views. The master bath features a huge walk-in dual-headed all-tile shower. The mudroom with ship-lap siding walls is the perfect place for coats, shoes and book bags. Several of the main level ceilings are planned to be coffered or tongue & groove wood paneled. There are 3 total laundry rooms planned, with 1 finished on the main level and 1 finished on the 2nd level up, and a 3rd stubbed out for the unfinished bonus room suite. The kitchen also offers side by side refrigerator & separate ice-maker machine for social events. The massive back deck includes a separate covered porch with a 2nd fireplace and a (plumbing & elec) stub-out covered outdoor kitchen. The back deck will also feature steps to a lower-level unfinished basement (also stubbed for a full bath and 3rd kitchen area). The upper level has three additional bedrooms each with access to a bathroom and oversized closet space. There are also large doored-access storage areas off some of the BR spaces. The optionally finished bonus room has a private stairway plus upper-level hallway access and has many uses for its owners to decide. This bonus area is being plumbing stubbed for a 3rd laundry area and full bath potential. This home offers great views of Lake Lanier from two separate unique vantage points (front & left side) due to the elevated positioning on this beautiful waterfront lot. The side entry 3-car garage with added turn-out engineered and reinforced retaining wall should be very accommodating. A convenient pet/scrub sink is also being installed in the middle back wall of the garage, and convenient grocery bin access is offered into the kitchen pantry back wall directly from the garage. Nearby expansion of schools and hospitals make this area very desirable for very convenient suburban living. Capture this rare opportunity for new construction on Lake Lanier. Lakefront lots are now becoming very scarce.
