The Iconic “Skiers Perch” is a captivating, rustic yet luxurious, Lakeside custom home located in the exclusive gated community of Whitestone Lake Estates in North Georgia, that offers a daily retreat into breathtaking natural beauty. Picture yourself starting each morning with a steaming cup of coffee on the many covered decks, overlooking two man-made 3-Event Tournament Lakes. These serene lakes are framed by majestic mountain vistas. This wonderful home was re-constructed by Carter Gentry a renowned local builder using local timber harvested and milled just a few miles up the road. Nestled high above the lake's southern cove, strategically perched within shouting distance from the awaiting skier in the water below. Spanning nearly 5,000 square feet of enhanced living space, this immaculate remolded residence boasts two thoughtfully designed spacious master bedrooms. The commercial kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring a standing level Chef’s cutting board island, with an attached 3-position breakfast nook, a Stainless-steel drawer microwave, a culinary eight-burner gas stove, two under-sink stainless-steel dishwashers, and a restaurant-style two compartment deep stainless-steel sink.

A formal office/study/media room, a well-proportioned and grandiose vaulted ceiling great room, gas linear fireplace, half bath with hands-free commercial/residential dryer, full laundry features, and open ship-inspired steel balustraded deck. All are accessible from the front of the home's stunning entryway and foyer through its massive iron French doors.

How insights can help you

Interest rate

If the seller has a low interest rate, they may be tempted to rent the property out if they can't get the price they have in mind.

Motivation

If the seller already got a job in a different city, they may feel pressure to sell quickly to free up cash for a new home.

Equity

If the seller stands to receive a large amount of cash when they sell the property, they might be willing to negotiate on the offer price.
