General overview

This spacious 3000sqft home is nestled along the tree-lined streets of a lovely, safe, and family-friendly neighborhood. We are only about an hour north of the Atlanta International Airport. We have 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 1 half bath. Our backyard is complete with peaceful landscaping, countless species of birds, and the relaxing sound of a Koi pond/waterfall. Beyond our back gate, you can walk 1/4 of a mile along a partially paved path to Lake Allatoona, where you can relax, kayak, swim, fish, or just take in the beauty. The neighborhood also has other nature paths, paved sidewalks for walking/biking, and a playground.

The space

Our home has 3 floors, connected by stairs. The main living space includes a cozy living room that seats 8 with a fireplace and large-screen TV. The living room is open to a spacious kitchen with a large fridge, air fryer, oven, stove, microwave, a crockpot. You can spread out and eat at either the dine-in kitchen table or the more formal dining area. The first floor is finished with a pantry, half bath, laundry room, and garage access. The 2nd floor is where you will find 3 kids' bedrooms and a master bedroom. Kid rooms 1 and 2 have twin loft beds with desks. Kid room 3 has 2 twin beds. The master bedroom suite has a king bed, 2 desks to work at, and an ensuite bathroom with a shower, jetted tub, double sink, and lots of closet space. The basement is super flexible! We have a twin daybed that turns into a King bed, a kids' play area, and a bonus theater room. There is a small workout room that includes a weight bench, free weights, and a punching bag. The basement also has access to a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. Our beautiful pond/waterfall is home to 2 koi fish. They would love for someone to drop a few pellets in daily and potentially turn a hose on to fill up the pond, if it gets low. If you are unable to do this, we can make other arrangements for them.

Guest access

Guests will have access to all three floors. The home has a few steps up the front door and each floor is connected by stairs. You are welcome to use our -bikes -kayaks -life vests -blow-up rafts -blow-up kayaks -fishing poles -kids toys

Notes

Walking out our back gate feels like you are transported into a nature park! Enjoy walking the path or even finding your way down to the shore of Lake Allatoona for some fun. You will often see deer outback. Besides the home, we are within an hour or two of countless hiking, biking, or city excursions.
