This substantial custom residence on 1.43 acres in North Hall County pairs generous indoor living areas with a versatile terrace-level suite and efficient systems that reduce monthly costs. Priced at $849,900 (MLS 10754106), the 5,285 finished square feet layout was built in 2005 and thoughtfully updated to serve large households, multi-generational families, or buyers seeking rental-ready space and private guest accommodations. Annual taxes are $5,667 and there is no HOA to restrict your plans.
The main floor centers on comfortable everyday living with a primary bedroom on the main level plus two additional main-level bedrooms. Formal and casual gathering rooms include multiple fireplaces and well-appointed finishes that create a warm, functional environment for entertaining and daily routines. With 7 bedrooms total, the home offers flexible sleeping and living configurations to suit changing needs.
Upstairs provides two more bedrooms, including an impressively large room fitted with built-in bunk beds that will appeal to families and long-term guests alike. A full upstairs bathroom and a dedicated office or study area add privacy and practical workspace for remote work, school projects, or quiet hobbies.
The terrace level is a standout feature. With its own private driveway, separate garage access, full kitchen, laundry, living area with a fireplace, two bedrooms (one currently used as an in-home gym), and a full bath, this lower-level suite functions as a self-contained apartment. It is ideal for extended family, teen independence, long-term guests, caregiver space, or rental income potential.
Recent capital improvements include a replaced roof and newer HVAC equipment, and the home benefits from a range of energy-efficient upgrades that improve comfort and lower utility bills. Three garage spaces, ample parking, and two driveways increase convenience for multiple drivers and visitors.
Outdoor living is equally compelling. The property offers a large, level backyard with multiple playhouses, a fenced play area, and plentiful open space for gardening, sports, and entertaining. The setting feels private while remaining conveniently located to Gainesville and easy drives to Dahlonega, Cleveland, and Helen.
School assignments serve North Hall High School, North Hall Middle School, and Mount Vernon Elementary, making this property a strong option for families seeking proximity to local public schools.
