Charming brick-and-siding home with access to regional trails, ideally located in the sought-after Highlands at Sawnee Mountain within the award-winning Forsyth County school district-just minutes from Cumming City Center dining and entertainment. Lovingly maintained by the original owner, this home showcases thoughtful upgrades including hardwood floors throughout the main level, granite countertops in the kitchen and all three bathrooms, a covered patio, and a private covered deck off the primary suite-perfect for enjoying serene backyard views. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the open-concept main level features a bright kitchen that flows seamlessly into the breakfast area and fireside family room. The kitchen is equipped with a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, gas range, and a walk-in pantry. The great room overlooks the walk-out, fenced backyard, creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a large walk-in closet and a spa-like bath with soaking tub, separate shower, and dual vanities. A conveniently located upper-level laundry room adds everyday ease. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a versatile bonus room-ideal for an office, playroom, or fitness space-complete the upper level. Situated on one of the larger lots in the community, the level, fenced backyard extends to wooded views beyond the property line, offering both privacy and a natural setting-with no future development behind the home, as the land is part of the protected Big Creek Greenway preserve. A programmable irrigation system services the entire yard, enhancing ease of maintenance. Additional recent updates include a freshly painted exterior (April 2026) and a new water heater (January 2026). Enjoy peaceful surroundings with convenient access to nearby trails, including the Big Creek Greenway.
