Welcome to a really special homestead property in desirable North Hall with so many of the big updates already done. Over the last several years, the home has had a newer roof, windows, exterior siding and doors, remodeled kitchen with updated cabinetry, remodeled primary and hall bathrooms, hardwood flooring, brick flooring in the laundry and mudroom, a wood-burning fireplace, front porch, crawlspace encapsulation with dehumidifier, and a newer garage door. There are also UV systems on both the HVAC and well systems. Outside is where this property really stands out, with two chicken coops, raised garden beds, established apple, peach, pear and fig trees, berries, a storage building, and a mostly fenced property. It is already set up for someone who wants animals, gardens, more privacy, or just room to spread out. The home is vacant and a quick closing is possible. Convenient to Gainesville, Lake Lanier, the mountains, shopping, dining, and everyday amenities, while still giving you that true country feel. Schedule your tour today!
