5188 Watchmans Cove Gainesville GAAt 5188 Watchmans Cove you will find a contemporary residence built in 2022 that balances single-level convenience with an expansive finished terrace level, delivering 4,264 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and zero half baths. Listed as MLS 10756121 for $729,000 and located on a low-maintenance 0.16-acre parcel in Hall County, this property sits inside the gated Stephens Point 55 plus active adult neighborhood just steps from Lake Lanier. Annual taxes are $4,920.00.

The main floor is finished for effortless living and entertaining. An inviting covered rocking-chair front porch leads into an open foyer trimmed in luxury plank flooring that runs through principal rooms. The family room is bright and comfortable, featuring a trey ceiling and a gas fireplace and flowing openly to the dining nook and kitchen for seamless day to day flow.

Cooks will appreciate the dramatic kitchen island that exceeds nine feet in length, pristine white cabinetry, generous granite countertops and a refined subway tile backsplash. High-end stainless appliances include a convection oven and gas cooktop, and a large pantry keeps the counters clutter free. The kitchen sightlines out to living spaces, making it perfect for hosting family meals or neighborhood gatherings.

The primary owners suite occupies a private wing on the main level and includes a generous sitting area plus a private outdoor balcony that captures treetop views. The primary bath offers dual granite vanities, a capacious tiled walk-in shower and a walk-in closet with direct access to the laundry room for added convenience. Three additional guest bedrooms are well scaled and share a fully upgraded hall bath with tiled floors and shower surround.

Descending the open-railed stairwell reveals a true entertaining and hobby wing on the finished terrace level. This walk-out lower floor includes a second family room, a dedicated home gym, a roomy home office with a walk-in closet for storage, and a guest bedroom with an adjacent full bath. A stylish wet bar is equipped with a beverage refrigerator, ice maker and large wine cooler to complete the entertaining package.

Outside spaces extend the living area with multiple outdoor rooms framed by mature trees. The private fenced yard features a covered rear deck, an open paver patio and a luxury spa, offering options for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or weekend alfresco entertaining. The setting provides a peaceful, wooded backdrop while still being steps from community lake access.

Stephens Point offers lifestyle amenities tailored to active adult living including a clubhouse with lake views, a large community pool, lighted pickleball and tennis courts, and a private 14-slip courtesy dock on deep water. The neighborhood of 174 homes is gated and organized with clubs, activities and social events. Location benefits include quick access to I-985, nearby downtown Flowery Branch and Gainesville dining and shopping, plus day trips to the North Georgia mountains.

School assignments are West Hall High School, West Hall Middle School and Everwood Elementary for buyers considering future resale factors. For clarity, this property has no half baths and its finished terrace level functions as a fully appointed lower living area rather than an unfinished basement.
