Welcome to desirable 12842 Waterside Drive - a beautifully maintained Milton home offering four full levels of living, exceptional natural light, and a rare stretch of wooded acreage behind the property that feels like your own private retreat. Tucked away on a quiet street in the sought after Waterside community, you'll note the curb appeal, but the real surprise awaits out back. An additional 1+ acre of land, a rare find in Alpharetta, offers privacy, trails, play space, campfires and endless potential. This home has been cared for with pride and it shows the moment you walk in. Inside, natural light pours through the two story windows, highlighting hardwoods and open living spaces designed for gathering. The kitchen, with an abundance of cabinets and storage, granite countertops and nearly new stainless appliances flows seamlessly into the sunny breakfast nook and great room. Boasting a gorgeous stone fireplace and easy access to the oversized upper deck, it's perfect for entertaining. A guest suite on the main level with closet and bath works well for a convenient office as well. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite is a true escape with a large sitting area, its spa-like bathroom and his and hers closets. The two additional bedrooms on that floor are spacious, with one boasting a versatile bonus room! This rare floor plan offers an additional level with a bedroom suite and sitting area, fabulous privacy for guest overflow, office or man cave. Finally, the fabulous and fully finished daylight terrace level completes this magnificent home, designed for effortless entertaining. Enjoy a full bar, media, game and lounge areas, room for additional bedrooms or office space and full bath, all with direct access to the covered patio. The fenced yard is only the beginning-your property line extends beyond it, providing room for enhancements. The gorgeous views from the back screened in porch, will steal your heart. Step out to the manicured and maintained green lawn and wooded acreage while the tree line will guide you to steps and rail, leading to your private sanctuary, complete with small creek, firepit, trails and private land to explore. Waterside is known for its peaceful charm and quick access to everything: top-rated schools, newly renovated community clubhouse, pool, playground, tennis and sports court. Outside of the neighborhood, enjoy strolling to Crabapple Market and being close to downtown Alpharetta, Roswell's historic district, and the best of Milton living. Enjoy all this fabulous home and location have to offer!
