Welcome to 3960 Alton Avenue, a meticulously cared-for 3-story home in Cumming, where the current owner, a general contractor, has maintained the property with exceptional attention to detail. This home offers a rare combination of peaceful living, modern amenities, with close proximity to Lake Lanier and local conveniences. The light-filled open floor plan features a two-story foyer and great room, a dining room, an eat-in kitchen, laundry room, half bath and the primary suite. Step out to the large 14x20 painted deck with a pergola and hanging plant baskets, overlooking the fenced Gardener’s Paradise backyard. The second floor offers two spacious bedrooms, a full bath, and a large walk-in closet with access to a large walk-in attic storage area. A fully finished daylight walkout basement provides endless possibilities. This level includes a bedroom, full bath, living room, game room with closet, bonus room with closet, and a workshop/art studio with custom-painted cabinets, a dry bar with a mini-fridge, and French doors opening to the garden. There are two separate entrances and a side patio and driveway leading to the basement. The basement is perfect for renting out for additional income, multi-generational living, extra room for guests, or for entertaining. The fenced backyard features mature trees, perennial bulbs, and vibrant flowering plants such as hydrangeas, azaleas, and dogwoods. Enjoy the firepit area, a 10x12 garden shed, raised garden beds, a large wood deck, and a mini pergola over the french doors off of the art room/workshop. The property is equipped with a whole-yard sprinkler system and is wired for a whole-house generator. With a small HOA fee that includes a pool and playground, the HOA permits boat and RV storage in your backyard. The home is conveniently located near GA-400, Tidwell Park on Lake Lanier, the Cumming City Center, parks, and is only 1 exit away from Costco offering the best of both outdoor adventures and city conveniences. Recent updates include fresh paint and carpet in the main living areas, updated lighting, fans, and door hardware, new window ballasts and sink faucets, professionally cleaned tile and carpets, and a partial driveway replacement. The 30-year architectural roof is approximately 10 years old and was recently inspected. The Hardie Plank siding was painted five years ago. The water heater was replaced in 2018, and the HVAC has been serviced and maintained with a new coil and condenser installed in recent years. This home is a true gem on the Pilgrim Mill Peninsula, offering the beauty of North Georgia’s lake life while still being close to all the modern amenities you need!
