A standout offering in The Retreat at Sterling on the Lake, 7032 Cottage Grove Drive is a recently built residence that pairs contemporary finishes with the practical comforts active adults prioritize. Built in 2024 and listed at $1,250,000 (MLS 10685539), this 3,996 square foot home sits on a tidy 0.2 acre lot in Hall County and delivers four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and zero half baths—each sleeping area functioning as a private suite for residents and guests alike.
The heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen designed for both everyday life and effortless entertaining. An oversized island anchors the space while quartz countertops and premium appliances provide high performance and timeless style. Storage is a strong theme here, with a dedicated custom pantry closet and California Closets organization integrated throughout the home to keep lines clean and counters clutter free.
Main living areas are filled with architectural details that elevate daily living. Designer lighting sets mood and scale in each room, multiple custom built fireplaces create cozy focal points without interrupting sightlines, and remote powered blinds are installed on every window for instant light control and privacy at the touch of a button.
A custom enclosed back porch, fitted with Champion windows and its own mini-split system, adds a climate controlled transitional space that invites year round use while framing serene wooded views. Outside, a tailored patio with a built in water feature creates a private retreat for morning coffee or alfresco evenings. Lawn care is included in the community, keeping the exterior low maintenance so owners can enjoy neighborhood amenities.
The fully finished custom basement expands usable square footage and adds considerable flexibility for media, hobbies, guest accommodation, or a private office. The lower level also features a well planned laundry room with California Closets built ins for superior organization and convenience.
Living at Sterling on the Lake means access to an active lifestyle and resort style amenities without leaving the neighborhood. Residents enjoy a private 55 plus clubhouse, resort pool, fitness center, pickleball and tennis courts, bocce ball, scenic walking trails, and lake access for boating or quiet shoreline moments. The community is tailored to social programming and recreational options popular with active adult buyers.
Practical details matter: this home is in the Flowery Branch High School district, with C W Davis Middle School and Spout Springs Elementary serving younger students; annual taxes are listed at $7,813; and the property provides the single level living most buyers seek, plus expanded finished space below.
