Set back on 1.43 acres in North Hall County, this custom-built 2005 residence blends scale, thoughtful upgrades, and rare flexibility across 5,285 finished square feet. Priced at $849,900 (MLS 10754106), the property presents a compelling option for buyers seeking Gainesville GA homes for sale that can accommodate large families, multigenerational households, or buyers wanting an income-ready lower level without sacrificing privacy or comfort.
Inside, the floorplan offers seven bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two half baths spread across three levels. The main level emphasizes single-floor convenience with a roomy primary suite on the first floor, two additional main-floor bedrooms, and expansive living areas warmed by fireplaces. High ceilings and plentiful windows create bright, comfortable rooms ideal for entertaining and everyday life while quality finishes lend an elevated, lived-in feel.
The upper floor provides a private zone with two bedrooms, a full bath, and a very large bedroom fitted with built-in bunk beds plus a dedicated office nook. This wing is perfect as a kids retreat, guest suite, homework area, or media space and adds versatility to the home that modern buyers appreciate.
A standout feature is the terrace-level suite that functions like a private basement apartment. With its own driveway and garage access, the lower level includes a kitchen, laundry, living area with a fireplace, two bedrooms and a full bath. One bedroom is currently used as an in-home gym, illustrating how the terrace suite adapts to extended family living, teen space, long-term guests, short-term rental potential, or work-from-home needs.
Recent mechanical and efficiency improvements make the home comfortable and economical to operate. Notable updates include a newly replaced roof, newer HVAC equipment, and other energy-conscious upgrades that help reduce utility costs while maintaining modern performance and peace of mind.
Outdoor living is equally inviting. The backyard offers charming playhouses, a fenced area for pets or children, and generous lawn and garden space for entertaining, hobbies, or quiet relaxation. Practical conveniences include three garage spaces, ample parking with two driveways, and no HOA restrictions, giving owners freedom and flexibility rarely found in comparable Gainesville properties.
Located for easy access to Gainesville, Dahlonega, Cleveland, and Helen, the home sits in the North Hall School cluster with North Hall High School, North Hall Middle School, and Mount Vernon Elementary nearby. Annual taxes are $5,667 and the lot size provides both privacy and proximity to local amenities and outdoor recreation in North Hall County.
Homes offering this combination of size, a private terrace apartment, energy-smart systems, and outdoor character are uncommon in the Gainesville market. For more information or to schedule a private showing, contact Antjuan Lankford at 404-597-3430 or visit
