12972 Waterside Dr

Welcome home to this sought-after water view home in Alpharetta's Waterside community. This is the first home on the water available since 2020. Beautifully updated kitchen and primary bath with one of the largest floor plans. Nothing compares to the feeling of being on vacation daily as you wake up and look out the window to see nothing but water. The birds are always chirping and nature abounds. This home is much larger than it appears from the exterior. Highly desirable primary on the main level with newly renovated spa bath and custom closet, a full suite on the terrace level with a full kitchen, bedroom, bath, recreation and media room. Natural light drenches this home, the most cheerful room is just beyond the kitchen, a perfect place for casual, water-view dining (currently used as a sunroom). Upstairs provides 4 bedrooms, one with a private bonus room, great for teen gaming space, play room or study den. Entertaining family and friends can begin with a meal inside or out on the deck or screened porch, then to the terrace level for playing pool and watching movies. Anchored by a full bar and kitchen, the terrace level opens to a huge covered porch, a short stroll away from your own private dock. Sitting on the dock, you can escape busy life any time you want! The guest room also overlooks the lake, it may be hard to get them to leave. The terrace level includes ample storage space and a work out room. The large lot is landscaped with lovely perennials and even some fruit bearing trees. There is no better setting for a gardener. Enjoy one of Alpharetta's most desirable swim/tennis communities offering lakes for fishing, a swimming pool, tennis courts, playground and more. Waterside is an ideal Alpharetta location, close to Roswell parks, Canton Street, downtown Alpharetta and Avalon and walking distance to downtown Crabapple/Milton. The nearby award-winning schools are the icing on this cake!
