1445 Squire Lane Cumming, GA 30041

Authentic Farmhouse on 2.5 acres in an A++ LOCATION! Originally a barn, this home was converted into a BRICK fortress and added onto over the years. Upon entering the two story foyer, a gracefully CURVED staircase provides the first hint of the delightfully unexpected design features to be found throughout this expansive and UNIQUE homestead. Adjacent to the welcoming foyer, a combined formal living room and dining room gives another nod to traditional style. Then, around the corner, more casual and contemporary style can be found in walls of windows, a large TWO STORY great room and an expansive eat-in kitchen with a center island and walk-in pantry. A very generously sized primary suite on the MAIN features a fireplace, three walk-in closets w/ washer-dryer hook-ups and a double vanity bath with separate shower and tub. The primary suite has been expanded with a bright & spacious SUNROOM that opens to a serene and private patio. It's just a few steps from there to the gated entry of a unique and whimsical COURTYARD that is reminiscent of European street cafes. Somebody put a mosaic on that wall, hang some string lights and turn on festive Italian music! This custom-designed outdoor living area has dual slate-tiled entries leading to a gunite POOL, expansive deck and private gazebo-surrounded spa. Wrapped with a white fence, the backyard pool area also boasts a large, level GREENSPACE, providing a fantastic play area for kids and dogs of all ages. Returning to the house, the upper level boasts 5 OVER-SIZED bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 2 super functional BONUS rooms and centrally located laundry facilities. An attached 2 car side entry garage is supplemented by a 3.5 car DETACHED garage for toy and storage aficionados. The surrounding lush acreage makes this property seem much larger than 2.5 acres. Exceptional OPPORTUNITY for buyers/builders/designers with vision and a desire to buck the over done cookie cutter farmhouse neighborhoods and HOAs, while still living within 3 MINUTES of ALL everyday conveniences!
