Step into upscale one-level living tailored for active adults at 5188 Watchmans Cove, Gainesville, GA. Priced at $729,000 (MLS 10756121) and built in 2022, this 4,264 square foot home in the gated Stephens Point 55+ community sits on a 0.16-acre lot in Hall County just steps from Lake Lanier. The property delivers four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and 0 half baths, combining the convenience of main-level living with a fully finished terrace level that expands entertaining and hobby space.
A welcoming covered rocking-chair front porch leads to an open foyer laid in durable luxury plank flooring that flows through the principal areas. The flexible formal dining room can serve as a second living space or hobby room, while the family room opens to the kitchen with a trey ceiling and a cozy gas fireplace that anchors the gathering area. Natural light and sightlines make this floor plan ideal for both everyday comfort and larger gatherings.
The gourmet kitchen is a standout feature for home chefs and hosts. Bright white cabinetry, extensive granite counters and a dramatic island exceeding nine feet create an impressive center stage. Upgraded stainless steel appliances include a convection oven and gas cooktop, and a subway tile backsplash and generous pantry storage complete a highly functional culinary workspace.
The primary owners suite is a private retreat with room for a sitting area and direct access to a secluded balcony. The adjacent primary bath is appointed with dual vanities atop stone counters, a large tiled walk-in shower and a roomy walk-in closet that connects conveniently to the laundry room for efficient daily routines. Three additional bedrooms and thoughtfully placed storage round out the main level accommodations.
Downstairs, the finished terrace level functions as a full second living area. An expansive second family room and game area flow to a stylish wet bar equipped with a beverage refrigerator, ice maker and large wine cooler. This level also includes a guest bedroom, a full bathroom with a custom-tiled shower, a dedicated home-gym and a roomy home office with a walk-in closet — ideal for multi-use living, extended stays or hobbies.
Outdoor living is equally well considered. A private fenced backyard features a covered deck, a paver patio and an in-ground luxury spa framed by wooded views that lend year-round privacy. On the community side, Stephens Point offers a clubhouse overlooking Lake Lanier, lighted pickleball and tennis courts, a large community pool and a private 14-slip courtesy dock on deep water. The neighborhood of 174 homes supports an active social calendar and a strong sense of community, with easy access to historic downtown Flowery Branch, Gainesville, I-985 and area attractions like North Georgia wineries and mountain recreation.
