5535 Hidden Harbor Drive, Gainesville, GA 30504

Open water, over 2 acre south lake estate with western exposure for the beautiful sunsets. The backyard is a private sanctuary and a world unto itself. This fabulous contemporary home, complete with new siding and stunning Tennessee stacked fieldstone accents, is perfectly situated on the highly desirable south end of Lake Lanier.

Located within a swim/tennis community, this property offers the rare flexibility of an optional HOA and no rental restrictions, making it an ideal candidate for a short-term rental investment. You are around the corner from the community pool, playground, clubhouse and tennis/pickleball courts.

This beautiful, remodeled home has four spacious bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms with an additional flex room or guest bedroom. The main level has new hardwood oak floors throughout, including the 2nd-floor primary bedroom. This lovely home has been thoroughly remodeled with new paint and updated trim throughout.

No more popcorn ceilings! There is new LED recessed lighting and ceiling fans have been installed. You'll love the open-concept great room with magnificent vaulted beamed ceilings and is warmed by one of the home's two stone fireplaces. The kitchen is a true focal point, featuring brand new cabinetry, quartz countertops, and appliances, complemented by a coffered ceiling that extends into the dining room.

The new walk-in pantry provides ample storage. Other interior upgrades include new plumbing fixtures, new bathroom vanities and quartz tops, a new powder room, and a main level bathroom with new tile and a new frameless glass enclosure. A stunning new staircase features cable rail handrails.

The upper master suite is a private sanctuary, complete with a custom master closet, new primary bath, new decorative beams, and an adjacent four-season room with floor to ceiling windows and its own separate heating and cooling system, overlooking the pickleball court.

The lower level offers an expansive finished basement with ceramic tile floors in the living/kitchenette area, shiplap accents and new luxury vinyl floors in the bedrooms and hallway. You'll also love the kitchenette, laundry area, and a second family room with another warm and cozy fireplace.

This level also benefits from a new lower-level HVAC system, along with another bedroom, and an additional room that would be perfect for a dedicated bunk room. Additional storage is plentiful, including a sub-basement that can be used for golf cart parking, workshop or extra storage.

Extensive exterior work includes a new entry door and entry porch, exterior doors at the rear of the home, a completely new 2 car garage including a separate golf cart entrance and a newly designed roof with composition shingles and a metal roof. Outdoor entertaining is unparalleled: the newly re-landscaped and sodded lot including a new driveway and walkway.

The property benefited from dramatic tree removal, to open up the lake view. The backyard is an entertainer's dream, complete with a new deck and railing, a spacious sportsplex area featuring a regulation-size pickleball court, shuffleboard court, stone fire pit, decorative retaining walls, and built-in seating for your friends to watch those challenging matches.

The large lot offers plenty of room for a future pool and/or gazebo-pool house. A golf cart-friendly, gravel access road leads to the covered, single-slip dock on deep water, where you can enjoy beautiful western view sunsets. You are very close to 3 lakeside restaurants and Sunrise Cove Marina to fill up your boat!
