About this home

A rare opportunity in one of North Forsyth County's most desirable and seldom-available locations! Tucked away on sought-after Cantrell Circle, this charming 2.08-acre property offers a private wooded sanctuary surrounded by homes valued at $800K+. With more than 2,300 square feet of finished living space, a full unfinished basement, and an enviable location just 3 minutes from GA 400 and Hammonds Crossing's shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, this property offers privacy without sacrificing accessibility. The inviting main level features a spacious, open kitchen with an oversized eat-in area that flows seamlessly into the family room, creating the perfect gathering space. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, a gas cooktop, and plenty of workspace, while the family room is anchored by a cozy gas fireplace. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main level and features a spacious primary bath with double vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and a large walk-in closet complete with a window for natural light. One of the home's most special features is the sunroom—a versatile, light-filled space surrounded by glass windows overlooking the wooded property. Currently designed to accommodate an office area, secondary sitting/living space, and dining area, it provides a beautiful connection to the outdoors. A large laundry room is also conveniently located on the main level. Upstairs has been completely renovated and is brand new, adding two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and additional storage closets. LVP flooring and recessed lighting run throughout the home, creating a fresh, cohesive feel. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a generous front porch, a side porch perfect for grilling and additional access to the home, and a carport for covered parking. The property also includes an RV pad with water and power hookups, making it especially appealing for RV owners or those needing additional utility space. A full unfinished basement provides abundant storage, a dedicated tool area, and convenient exterior access, offering tremendous flexibility for future use. At the entrance to the property sits a distinctive barn constructed with solid oak beams. The barn is included with the property and offers an opportunity to restore a truly unique piece of the property's character. A long shared driveway leads you to this peaceful, private setting surrounded by mature trees. The expansive 2.08-acre lot offers room to enjoy the property as a private homestead while providing potential for future use of the additional acreage, subject to applicable zoning and county requirements. Located in the highly regarded East Forsyth High School district and just minutes from GA 400, this property combines location, acreage, privacy, and newly renovated living space in a setting where homes rarely become available. *Tax records are not updated to reflect the 2 new bedrooms and bathroom recently added
