488 Piedmont RD Gainesville, GA 30501

Within walking distance to downtown Gainesville, which was just named the #1 real estate market in the country in an article by Bankrate, is this amazing home which is really two homes in one. The terrace level of this home includes an apartment suite that comes with a two-car carport, separate entrance, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, full kitchen, living room, office and laundry room. One of the bedrooms in this suite is similar in size to the master bedroom suite in the main house. The main house includes a wonderfully open floor plan with an enormous living room, kitchen and dining area separated by a centerpiece fireplace. The Brazilian hardwood floors, quartz countertops and plenty of natural light in these areas really make this home feel great. Completing the main level of the home you have four bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of the four bedrooms are master suites. The main home also includes a terrace level area with a living room, bedroom, bathroom, storage closets and a storage room which opens to the outside; and all of this area is separate from the terrace level apartment. Outside you will find a huge deck off the main level living area with a staircase down to the back yard and pool. The pool is saltwater with a new liner installed approx. two years ago. The pool area has a storage room and half bathroom. The large backyard and pool area is surrounded by trees and landscapes planted decades ago to provide a wonderful boundary and privacy. Also outside, you will find several parking areas including a great parking area for an RV and a separate fenced area for pets. This home is less than a one mile walk to several city parks, tennis courts, frisbee golf course, schools, churches, Lake Lanier and Gainesville's downtown restaurants and shops. And it's less than 1/3 mile walk to Gainesville's downtown trolley system routes and stops. Some great points in closing: double masters on main level; five bed/four bath main house plus two bed/two bath separate house apartment; excellent multi-generational house, great rental opportunity for apartment, no HOA.
