Property Description

Welcome to one of the most desirable homes in the highly sought-after Encore 55+ Active Adult Community at Sterling on the Lake by David Weekley Homes. Situated on a premium hilltop cul-de-sac lot with long-range views, this beautifully upgraded home offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and resort-style living.

One of the standout features is the exceptional .25-acre fenced backyard, a true rarity within the community. Enclosed with elegant wrought-iron fencing, this private outdoor retreat provides ample space for pets, gardening, outdoor entertaining, family gatherings, and everyday enjoyment. Covered front and rear patios create multiple outdoor living areas to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting.

Inside, you'll find an open-concept floor plan with 10-foot ceilings, crown molding, abundant natural light, and thoughtful upgrades throughout. Just off the foyer is a dedicated home office, perfect for remote work, reading, or hobbies.

The spacious kitchen is designed for both entertaining and everyday living, featuring a large center island, gas cooktop with vent hood, custom pull-out cabinetry, walk-in pantry with extensive storage, and a built-in coffee bar. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the dining area and family room, highlighted by a gas fireplace and a dramatic wall of windows overlooking the private backyard.

The primary suite on the main level offers a peaceful retreat with custom closet systems, electric room-darkening shades, and a luxurious ensuite bath featuring dual vanities and the community's highly sought-after Super Shower. Two additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for guests and family.

A feature rarely found in competing floor plans is the expansive upstairs loft. With 9-foot ceilings and additional storage, this flexible space is ideal as a media room, fitness studio, craft room, library, or guest retreat.

Additional highlights include a stepless entry, spacious two-car garage, custom storage solutions, and HOA-maintained lawn care for true low-maintenance living.

Residents enjoy exclusive access to The Retreat clubhouse, resort-style swimming pool, pickleball courts, social activities, and fitness amenities. Homeowners also enjoy full access to the award-winning Sterling on the Lake master-planned community, featuring lakeside pavilions, kayaking, fishing, walking trails, tennis courts, community events, and recreation opportunities.

Conveniently located near Lake Lanier, Downtown Flowery Branch, Gainesville, and Northeast Georgia Medical Center, this home offers the perfect balance of active adult living, luxury, convenience, and privacy.

If you've been searching for a larger floor plan, fenced yard, premium lot, and maintenance-free lifestyle in one of North Georgia's premier 55+ communities, this exceptional home is a must-see.
