Today, as part of our throwback series, we are highlighting this Lake Lanier waterfront home located at 7965 Overlook Road in Cumming, Georgia.  We assisted our client in buying this Lake Lanier home in July of 2004!  While the home needed updating, it was located in a fantastic south end neighborhood along Lake Lanier's coveted Young Deer Creek.  This lake lot had nice views and great water!  It was an absolutely wonderful setting and a clear first place winner of all of the lake homes that our client previewed prior to purchasing.  We really pushed the budget to its max on the purchase of this home in 2004.  However, this property was updated and sold two more times since our sale, most recently in 2018 for $621,000!

Lake Sidney Lanier Homes And Arthur Prescott - Buying & Selling Lake Lanier Homes For Our Clients Since 2001!  Throwback Thursday!

Today, as part of our throwback series we are highlighting this near-lake property located at 7405 Kingfisher Ln., Cumming, Georgia.  We assisted our client in buying this Lake Lanier home in August of 2004!  As so often happens, our client originally started looking at waterfront homes in their price range.  However, after an exhaustive search, they began to realize that in order to purchase a home that was suitable to what they wanted, they were going to have to spend a lot more money or purchase a near-lake home that would be close to the water.  They opted for the near-lake choice and purchased this beautiful, newly constructed home in a lakefront community with a lakeside pavilion and community boat dock.  It was an excellent choice, and they ended up purchasing a lot more square footage and home features that they otherwise could not have purchased.  Sometimes being near the lake versus waterfront is the perfect solution!

MLS Property Description:

Lot 6, the Lexus! Beautiful new home in lake community. Community dock with swim platform, huge pavilion with fireplace, lake views. Next door to amenities. The community has sidewalks and streetlights! (-:

Important note:  Today, the property address is Dawsonville.  When purchased, the home was listed with a Cumming address.  This caused a bit of confusion with the postal address, and county services because it was so close to the different county lines.  The address was finally changed and today it is shown as a Dawsonville address.
