It includes a private bath with dual vanities, a tub/shower combo, and an oversized walk-in closet. The loft area is a cozy nook ideal for reading, gaming, or even converting into a third bedroom with a simple addition of walls. This space also features access to a private balcony. Step outside to the back porch, where you can enjoy uninterrupted views of Sumter National Forest. The current owner has added a fenced-in area for pets, which still allows easy access to the tall crawlspace—a great storage area with access to the home’s mechanical systems. Lake Chattooga is known for its exceptional water quality, where you’ll find minnows, carp, mallards, and abundant wildlife in its crystal-clear waters. With easy access to Highlands, Cashiers, Clayton, and all that Oconee County has to offer, this is the perfect place to call home.
