Welcome to this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath craftsman-style home nestled in the wooded foothills of gated Big Canoe Community. Built in 2001, this thoughtfully designed residence offers three fully finished levels of comfortable living — all wrapped in the natural beauty of the surrounding tree canopy.
Step through the classic rocking-chair front porch and into an open, light-filled main level where gleaming hardwood floors flow from the foyer through the family room and dining area. The great room commands attention with soaring two-story ceilings, a stunning stacked-stone fireplace, and a wall of windows that frame the lush forest beyond. The well-appointed kitchen features rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a gas range, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar that opens seamlessly to the living and dining areas — perfect for everyday living and entertaining alike.
The main-level owner's suite provides a peaceful retreat with a private en-suite bath and direct access to the main living area. Upstairs, a versatile loft overlooks the great room below, offering the ideal flex space for a home office, reading nook, or playroom. A bonus flex room over the garage — accessed directly from the main living area — includes a full bath and offers endless possibilities as a fifth bedroom, private guest suite, home office, or studio.
The terrace level, fully finished in 2021, is a standout feature of this home. It offers a spacious family room, a dedicated game room, a private bedroom, and a full bath — creating an ideal space for guests, multigenerational living, or weekend entertaining. Walkout access connects this level directly to the outdoors, blurring the line between indoor comfort and North Georgia's natural surroundings.
An oversized two-car garage with an epoxy-coated floor provides ample storage and keeps the home polished top to bottom. For added peace of mind, the home has had a professional wildlife exclusion completed through Duncan Exterminating, with a transferable exclusion warranty conveying to the new owner.
Outside, a spacious rear deck offers treetop views and a serene backdrop for morning coffee or evening entertaining. This home delivers the best of North Georgia living. Big Canoe spans approximately 8,000 acres, with over one-third preserved as parks and green space, and is certified as a Nature Preserve by Georgia Audubon.
