Cumming, Georgia, is a city with a small-town heart and a big-city feel. Approximately 40 minutes from downtown Atlanta, it has a lot to offer for its size. From ample green space and planned communities to rich cultural and recreational attractions, Cumming’s serene, environmentally sound living environment gives it unrivaled appeal. Chartered in 1845, the City of Cumming is locally referred to as the “gateway to leisure living” due to its wide variety of recreational activities, including polo, golf, fishing, boating, hiking, swimming and horseback riding. In addition, the City of Cumming Fairgrounds hosts many fun and entertaining events each year.
Not far from Cumming’s city center is 3973 McConnell Road, a near-new farmhouse on just over 6.5+/- acres of land. Built in 2021, this wonderful home offers all the character and charm of a traditional farmhouse but with modern features and contemporary design elements for today’s lifestyle. If you have dreamed about owning enough acreage for horses, gardening or simply enjoying the space and privacy that comes with a lot of this size, you will love the possibilities that abound with this property.
Positioned deep on the tree-lined lot, you get your first peak at the home as you make your way up the winding driveway. A covered front porch greets you as you arrive, creating a warm welcome. Add some rocking chairs and it becomes the perfect spot to sit and admire the home’s peaceful, natural setting. Enter through the double front doors and into an open-concept main level with soaring 10-foot ceilings, barn wood-milled floors, oversized doors and large windows that help bring the outside indoors and deliver spectacular views of the home’s beautiful surroundings.
The well-equipped kitchen features butcher block countertops, white shaker-style cabinetry, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances and a center island with counter seating. This light, bright space is sure to bring out your inner chef. The home’s open layout provides a seamless connection between the kitchen and family room, while gorgeous wood beams help define the spaces. Large enough to add a long farmhouse table, you can easily carve out dining space or leave it open and spacious for larger gatherings.
Featuring a cozy stone fireplace, the comfortable family room is the perfect spot to curl up with a good book, watch your favorite tv show or entertain guests. With double doors flanking the fireplace, your living space can easily be extended out onto the covered rear deck overlooking the property’s expansive yard and pastures. The main level also has flexible space with wood-detailed walls and lots of windows for the perfect home office, formal dining room, playroom and more.
The primary owner’s retreat is also on the main floor. Boasting a spa-like bathroom with a large walk-in shower, a separate soaking tub, a double vanity and a custom, organized closet, it is the ideal place to unwind and recharge at the end of the day. A powder room and laundry area complete this level. Head upstairs to find an oversized landing that is large enough to serve as a media/sitting area. Offering spectacular views from every window, this space can be used in a variety of ways. Three good-sized secondary bedrooms and a full bathroom make up the remainder of the upper level.
An unfinished daylight terrace level provides another whole floor of possibilities. Just bring your imagination. With bright, open spaces, it could be finished to include a fabulous space for entertaining guests, including a media area, bar, recreation room, wine storage, home gym and more. Double French doors open onto a lower-level deck, letting in lots of natural light and leading to a charming porch swing!
As wonderful as the inside of this home is, the land surrounding it makes it special. With rolling green pastures, a babbling creek and plenty of privacy, this wooded sanctuary has so much to offer. There is room for a barn, a workshop, a guest house and a swimming pool. Come create the backyard oasis of your dreams.
It is rare to find a move-in ready property that feels so rural yet is close to exceptional schools, shopping, dining, parks and recreation. If you have been waiting for a modern farmhouse with acreage that is still within Metro Atlanta, this is it.
