Set along the coveted shores of Lake Lanier, this new construction European-inspired lakefront retreat blends timeless architecture with modern luxury in a way that feels both elevated and inviting. Nearly 4,100 square feet of curated living space unfolds with soaring ceilings, dramatic walls of glass, and stunning imported finishes that immediately set this home apart. The main level is designed for gathering. A breathtaking living room frames sparkling lake views through oversized windows, anchored by a warm gas fireplace. The chef's kitchen is a true statement - custom cabinetry, top-tier appliances, a warming drawer, hidden butler's pantry with sink, and designer selections that feel straight from a luxury magazine. Whether hosting summer dinner parties or quiet evenings at home, every space has function and flows effortlessly. The oversized back deck with vaulted ceiling is a perfect spot to gather for morning coffee or to have a wind down beverage at the end of the day while overlooking the lake. Upstairs, the owner's suite is a private sanctuary. Imagine mornings at your own coffee station before stepping into a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, oversized shower, and boutique-style closet. Three additional bedrooms with charming ceilings, designer lighting and beautiful windows make each room inviting. Nicely appointed baths offer comfort and privacy for family or guests. The terrace level was made for lake life entertaining - complete with a full bar, wine cooler, recreation lounge, fireplace, and dedicated office or bonus space. From here, step outside and follow the easy, flat path to the water. The private platform dock offers the perfect setting for sunbathing, launching kayaks and paddle boards, swimming, or boat tying up for a day on the lake. Positioned on a .45-acre lot with a concrete drive and oversized two-car garage, that has room for a golfcart and is prepped with a EV charging outlet, this home offers both convenience and serenity - just minutes to Bald Ridge Marina and the best of Cumming, yet tucked into the peaceful beauty of the shoreline. And when the day winds down, the glow from inside, the reflection off the water, and the quiet of the shoreline make this home feel exactly the way it should - peaceful, inviting, and unforgettable. Lake Lanier isn't just a location - it's a lifestyle. This is the rhythm of life at 4045 Merritt Drive.
