Enjoy lakefront living at a great price point on Lake Emory, just minutes from town. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers direct lake access with a rare driveway beside the home that leads straight to the water, making lake enjoyment easy and convenient. The home offers a practical layout with comfortable living and dining spaces for everyday use. A generously sized sunroom on the back of the home overlooks the lake and provides additional living space to relax or enjoy the water view. Both bedrooms are well proportioned, and two full bathrooms add flexibility for full-time living or guests. Outside, the fenced backyard provides space for pets or outdoor use. There is also grading and a driveway in place for a second, small home site if desired. A septic permit had previously been approved for that site, but has since lapsed. Located close to town, this property also presents potential for income-producing. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, a weekend retreat, or an investment opportunity, this Lake Emory home offers location, access, and value.
