Step into a thoughtfully composed residence in Stephens Point, the gated 55+ active-adult enclave a short stroll from the shoreline of Lake Lanier. Built in 2022 and offering 4,264 square feet of finished space, 5188 Watchmans Cove delivers an effortless blend of one-level convenience and an expansive finished terrace level that expands possibilities for guests, hobbies and entertaining. Priced at $729,000 and listed as MLS 10756121, this home pairs low-maintenance lot living with upscale appointments throughout.
Curb appeal begins with a covered rocking-chair front porch that frames a calm street-facing presence and invites slow mornings. Inside, wide-plank luxury flooring defines the foyer and principal rooms, creating a warm, durable backdrop for the open-plan main level. The layout is organized for everyday ease: generous guest bedrooms and a full bath share the main floor while sightlines flow from the dining area to the heart of the house.
The kitchen is a showpiece built for social cooking. Pristine white cabinetry and an eye-catching subway-tile backsplash surround generous granite counters, anchored by a dramatic island that exceeds nine feet in length. Upgraded stainless appliances include a convection oven and gas cooktop, and the adjacent light-filled dining nook and family room make hosting effortless. A trey ceiling and gas fireplace add architectural interest and cozy scale to the family room.
The owners suite is a private retreat with ample room for a sitting area and direct access to a quiet balcony. The ensuite bath is fitted with dual granite-topped vanities and a huge walk-in tiled shower, while the large walk-in closet connects directly to the laundry for practical daily flow. With three full bathrooms in the home and zero half baths, guests and residents enjoy full-service convenience.
The finished terrace level acts as a true lower living plane rather than a typical basement. An expansive second family room, a designated game area and a wet bar equipped with a beverage refrigerator, ice maker and large wine cooler create a natural entertainment hub. Additional spaces include a guest bedroom with a full bath that features a custom-tiled shower, a dedicated home gym and a roomy home office with its own walk-in closet for storage or overflow needs.
Outdoor living at 5188 Watchmans Cove is intentionally private and designed for gatherings. The fenced backyard includes a covered rear deck, an open paver patio and a luxury spa set against a backdrop of mature trees, offering a secluded outdoor oasis that complements indoor entertaining options.
Stephens Point residents enjoy community amenities tailored to active adult lifestyles: a lakeside clubhouse with views of Lake Lanier, a large community pool, lighted pickleball and tennis courts, and a private 14-slip courtesy dock on deep water. The neighborhood of 174 homes hosts a calendar of clubs and events for those seeking social engagement while remaining close to Historic Flowery Branch, Gainesville and easy access to I-985.
Practical details for buyers: 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 0 half baths, 4,264 square feet, lot size 0.16 acre, year built 2022, annual taxes $4,920.
