This Lake Lanier address in Buford's Valley Hi neighborhood is a rare waterfront offering that balances everyday livability with genuine lake access. Listed at $697,999 (MLS 10882664), the Craftsman-style residence sits on a level 0.39-acre parcel and delivers 3,971 square feet of finished living space designed for both relaxed weekends and active entertaining.
More than 100 feet of usable shoreline and a natural sandy beach create an immediate lakeside lifestyle, with a gradual walk to the water that makes kayak and paddleboard launches effortless. Dock permit eligibility may be available subject to U.S. Army Corps approval, and a long secondary driveway adds practical value by providing room for boat and trailer storage or the potential to build a level pad for an RV.
Inside, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and large windows fill the home with light and frame views toward the lake. Flooring combines hardwood and tile for a low-maintenance, upscale feel throughout multiple gathering areas. The floor plan includes an oversized great room centered on a fireplace, formal living and dining rooms, plus a versatile sunroom that works equally well as a home office or media space.
The kitchen is built to host, featuring stone countertops, an oversized island with breakfast-bar seating, dual sinks, and a built-in wine cooler that enhances food-and-drink service after a day on the water. With three bedrooms and three full bathrooms (no half baths), the layout supports family life and guests with privacy and convenience. The primary suite is a true retreat with a sitting area, two walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with double vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower.
Practical details include a home built in 1982, Gwinnett County taxes of $8,353.30, and no basement recorded in the public data. Local schools serving the address are Lanier High School, Lanier Middle School, and White Oak Elementary, making the property appealing to buyers prioritizing district placement along with waterfront amenities.
Outdoor living extends beyond the shoreline with a welcoming front porch and a back deck ideal for grilling and evening gatherings. Quick access to GA-400, I-985, I-85, and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard keeps the property well connected while nearby marinas and lakeside destinations such as Lazy Days, Holiday Marina, and Margaritaville at Lanier Islands expand recreational and dining options.
