A respected builder paired this exceptional floor plan with the serenity of a peaceful forest and gentle creek behind the house. Southern Living-featured container gardening author Pamela Crawford elevated it into a truly special home. Less than a year old, this beautifully curated Chestnut floor plan offers more than $40,000 in carefully selected upgrades and enhancements that most new homes leave for the next owner. Custom built-ins, a whole-house Generac generator, a commercial-grade dehumidification system, an expanded outdoor living area, and countless thoughtful details are already in place, making this home genuinely move-in ready. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings, expansive telescoping glass doors, and an open-concept design fill the home with natural light while seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. The beautifully appointed kitchen flows into the dining area and great room, making everyday living and entertaining equally enjoyable. The main-level primary suite and dedicated office provide the ease of one-level living, while upstairs guest bedrooms offer comfort and privacy. An unfinished terrace level offers endless possibilities for future living space, a media room, fitness studio, workshop, or exceptional storage. The builder's original deck was expanded to more than twice its original size, creating an extraordinary outdoor living space overlooking the peaceful forest and creek. There, Pamela Crawford created one of her signature container gardens, transforming the deck into a private retreat - alive with color and designed to be enjoyed in every season. Every improvement has already been thoughtfully completed, allowing you to move in and simply enjoy a home that isn't an empty new build but is truly finished from the very first day. - Love Your Life in Lake Arrowhead-one of Georgia's premier gated mountain communities-featuring a pristine 540-acre lake, golf, tennis, swimming, and easy access to Canton and Atlanta
