Set just steps from Lake Lanier inside the gated Stephens Point 55+ active adult community, 5188 Watchmans Cove is a modern residence offering 4,264 square feet of thoughtfully arranged living space, listed at $729,000 (MLS 10756121). Built in 2022 on a low-maintenance 0.16-acre lot in Hall County, this home blends single-level convenience with a fully finished walk-out terrace designed for entertaining, hobbies, and comfortable multi-use living.
The main level is arranged for effortless living and elevated everyday comfort. An inviting covered rocking-chair front porch leads into an open foyer finished with durable luxury plank flooring that carries through principal rooms. The family room opens to a bright dining nook and the kitchen, anchored by a single granite island that extends more than nine feet and provides abundant prep space and casual seating. Crisp white cabinetry, a subway tile backsplash, upgraded stainless appliances including a convection oven and gas cooktop, and expansive counters make the kitchen equally suited to everyday meals and larger gatherings.
This home offers four bedrooms and three full bathrooms with zero half baths. The primary suite occupies a private wing and includes a roomy sitting area and a private balcony overlooking treetops. The primary bathroom features dual granite-vanity sinks, a large tiled walk-in shower, and a generous walk-in closet with direct access to the laundry room for convenience. Three well-proportioned guest bedrooms and an additional full bath on the main level accommodate visitors and flexible uses such as a hobby room or den.
The finished terrace level expands the living footprint considerably and functions as a true secondary living area. A second family room and game area flow to a wet bar equipped with a beverage refrigerator, ice maker, and sizeable wine cooler. The lower level also includes a guest bedroom, a full bath with custom tile, a dedicated home gym, and a large home office with an extra walk-in closet that provides abundant storage or hobby space.
Outdoor living is a highlight at this property. A fenced rear yard creates privacy around multiple outdoor rooms: a covered rear deck, an open paver patio, and a luxury spa — all framed by mature woods that offer a serene backdrop. The residential setting and thoughtfully designed exterior make this an ideal spot for both quiet mornings and lively outdoor entertaining.
Beyond the property, Stephens Point enhances the Lake Lanier lifestyle with a clubhouse overlooking the water, a community pool, lighted pickleball and tennis courts, and a private 14-slip courtesy dock on deep water. With 174 homes in the active community, residents enjoy a calendar of clubs, activities, and events, plus easy access to shopping, dining, I-985, and nearby mountain escapes.
Practical details: the home is located in Hall County within the West Hall High School district, West Hall Middle School, and Everwood Elementary. Annual taxes are listed at $4,920. The built-in conveniences and low-maintenance lot make this 2022-built property a compelling option for buyers seeking refined, lake-adjacent living in Gainesville, GA real estate.
