This custom-built, four-bedroom home located at 204 Red Gate Terrace in Canton features the Crabapple Cottage layout design originally made popular by southern architect John Tee. Thus, every square foot of this home is designed to count and add to the overall beauty and function of the home. Furthermore, rooms are laid out in perfect accordance with one another according to this highly effective floor plan. Located on a lakefront lot the view out and across the water from this property is spectacular.
The front of this home features a large, shady front porch with simple columns that support the canopy overhang. A long drive connects the L-shaped design made up of the main house and the attached garage. Around back, a plush garden and cobble-stone steps link the upper and lower levels of the home in the most charming way. A freeform patio, trellised garden arbor, stacked stone walls, latticed alcoves and Japanese maples are a few of the enchanting elements this backyard affords.
Inside the home, the open floor plan is laid out on gorgeous hardwood floors, highlighted by the light-filled rooms. Wooden banisters line a zig-zag split staircase that leads upstairs and serves as a beautiful focal point. The large, picture perfect dining room to the left features a faux frame chair rail.
Cross under the catwalk into the two-story great room. Here you’ll find a quaint stone fireplace between built-ins and intriguing shelving cutouts. The far wall is covered in windows and paneled doors that lead to the screened-in wrap around porch that looks out over the garden and the lake.
Moving into the eat-in kitchen, another set of doors leads to the porch. Enjoy eating in the breakfast nook surrounded almost completely by windows and open to the kitchen. Here a large kitchen island encases the range, and black granite counters make for a sleek aesthetic appeal. Tiled back splash, kitchen sink window and plenty of cabinets and drawer space make this kitchen complete. Additionally, a built-in desk nook keeps home management organized and maintained.
The main level also includes the master quarters. This area is a true master suite. The spacious master bedroom has gleaming hardwood floors, sitting room, walk-in closet and large master bath. A large soaking tub, separate shower area and elongated vanity with dual vanities round out the expansive master on the main.
Additional bedrooms and baths as well as a bonus room are found on the second level and are equally as impressive with cottage-style elements such as window seats, wainscoting wall treatments and a few other surprises. A light filled artist studio is located above the garage. On the finished terrace level, the style takes an interesting twist with a bonus room that features intriguing spatial characteristics centered round an attention-grabbing fireplace.
A terrace-level covered patio doubles as a lower entry point to the lakefront backyard that leads to a fire pit and ultimately to the small lakeside dock.
This home is located in the estate section of Cherokee County and is surrounded by horse properties and estate homes and is a perfect respite from Atlanta and surrounding suburbs, but not too far for commuting. The homeowner who purchases this home will enjoy the best of both worlds. The potential to impress is here at 204 Red Gate Terrace in Canton, Georgia.
