5188 Watchmans Cove sits inside the gated Stephens Point enclave, a thoughtfully planned 55 plus active adult neighborhood a short walk from Lake Lanier. Built in 2022 and offered at $729,000 (MLS 10756121), this 4,264 square foot residence on a 0.16-acre lot combines single-level living with a fully finished terrace level to deliver versatile living, private outdoor spaces, and community amenities geared to an active lifestyle.
Step inside to an open foyer finished in durable luxury plank flooring that flows through principal rooms. The heart of the home is the chef's kitchen where pristine white cabinetry, broad granite counters and a dramatic island more than nine feet long create a natural gathering point for cooking and conversation. High-end stainless appliances include a convection oven and a gas cooktop, complemented by a subway tile backsplash and a generous pantry. The kitchen opens to a bright family room with a trey ceiling and a gas fireplace, offering wide sightlines for entertaining.
The main level hosts the primary suite designed for comfort and convenience. A private sitting area and an outdoor balcony extend the suite, while the ensuite bathroom features his and her vanities with granite, a large walk-in tiled shower, and a spacious walk-in closet that leads directly to the laundry room. In addition to the primary, there are guest bedrooms on the main floor and a well-appointed full bath with upgraded tile and granite finishes, making the layout ideal for visiting family or overnight guests.
Below the main level, the finished terrace level functions as an independent living and entertainment space. Anchored by an expansive family room, this lower level includes a wet bar equipped with a beverage refrigerator, ice maker and wine cooler, a dedicated home gym, a home office with a generous walk-in closet, a guest bedroom, and a full bathroom with custom tile work. The terrace level adds meaningful square footage for hobbies, media nights, or multigenerational living.
Outdoor living is engineered for low-maintenance enjoyment and privacy. From the welcoming covered rocking-chair front porch to the fenced backyard, the exterior offers a covered back deck, a paver patio, and a luxury spa framed by mature trees. These outdoor rooms create a private retreat and an ideal setting for gatherings in warmer months.
