Situated at 6025 Alder Way on a quiet cul-de-sac in Cumming, Georgia, this five-bedroom home is an exemplary suburban Atlanta home. The property spans .75+/- of an acre and is within the Lake Forest neighborhood nestled at the foothills of the Appalachians. Lake Forest offers an active lifestyle full of community amenities including swimming and tennis. Many residents spend recreational time hiking at the nearby Sawnee Mountain or one of the other various parks and outdoor centers in the area. Boating and fishing in Lake Lanier are other convenient pastimes enjoyed by Cumming residents.
An immaculate and widespread lawn surrounds the shady fascia of this five-bedroom house. The peaceful ambiance only grows once you cross the threshold. The back wall of this home features a two-story bay window design with unique window pattern that spreads light across the open floorplan in all directions. Soft-glow sunbeams fill the air from foyer and throughout, stretching across the hardwoods as they reach through the window panes. An open dining room sits off the foyer and is defined by an elegant chair rail and single corner column. A dramatic trey ceiling hovers above. Across the foyer, French doors open to, or close off, an intimate home office.
Moving into the living room, the windows seem to grow even taller, complemented by high trim detailing that frames the space above the mantel. A stair case to the upper level and entry path to the back deck separate these formal spaces from the more casual yet elegant area of the floor plan.
This portion of the main level consists of an oversized kitchen, informal dining space and family room, all of which are one in the same expansive room. Darkly stained cabinets surround the lighter-hued granite counters and feature charming details like a home desk nook with mail niche and glass-front accent cabinets. A uniquely shaped island houses two breakfast bar tops that angle around and frame out the kitchen sink.
Casual dining sits tucked inside a half-octagon of windows that serve as flood gates for more natural lighting and beautifully wooded views. Everything culminates in a cozy space that faces a floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace jutting out from between built-ins.
The master suite is airy and uplifting with a heightened angular ceiling featuring faux trim detail to create a relaxing sanctuary for sleepy eyes. For not-so-sleepy eyes, a fireside sitting room is included in the suite. Windows line an entire exterior wall that runs the length of this spacious bedroom. The master bath sits behind French doors and features an upmarket vibe throughout. Gorgeous tilework encases the soaking tub that awaits its bather beneath an enormous single-pane window. Separate glass shower, dual vanities, beveled mirrors and walk-in closet are all additional elements of the package.
The finished terrace level boasts even more alluring design elements and a ground-level patio surrounded by an incredibly shady backyard.
