Minutes from downtown Dahlonega or the many area wineries, this rustic standout is full of character and useful space in a location that cannot be topped. You'll feel like you are in a lodge under the soaring ceilings of the great room showcasing substantial wood beams, tongue and groove ceilings and the center piece of the whole house; a massive floor to ceiling stone wood burning fireplace that can be seen from the living room, kitchen and lofted primary bedroom as well. The large eat-in kitchen features ample space for meal prep and gathering and you can even catch a seasonal glimpse of nearby mountains from the window above the sink or the large covered front porch just outside. Each of the two bedrooms feature large closets and full en suite baths ,while the upstairs loft enjoys a commanding view of the living room and its beautiful fireplace. Outdoor space and nature is abundant with an additional deck out back and over almost two acres to enjoy. The drive under garage and basement space could be easily finished to create more living space, as could the large area above the enormous carport that is great for multiple vehicles or is very well suited for more covered outdoor entertainment space. This mountain house is perfectly located and convenient for use as a short-term rental or a year round residence. This is the one.
