1030 OPEN WATER DR

Experience quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design in this 2021 custom-built lake access home, privately situated on 1.23 acres within the gated Bayside community. With seasonal lake views, a deeded boat slip and close proximity to Lake Oconee amenities, this property offers both privacy and access to all the area has to offer. A welcoming covered front porch leads into a spacious great room with vaulted ceilings, exposed decorative beams, and expansive windows that fill the space with natural light. The open-concept layout flows seamlessly into the kitchen, where a 10-foot island with a farmhouse sink takes center stage. Rich hickory cabinetry offers abundant storage, while quartzite countertops and a vented range hood bring elevated functionality. The walk-in pantry, outfitted with ample shelving, adds everyday convenience. The main-level primary suite features vaulted ceilings, private access to the screened porch, and a generous walk-in closet. The en suite bath includes a large walk-in shower, a quartz-topped vanity, and porcelain tile flooring. Just off the primary suite, the laundry room is equipped with a sink, hickory cabinetry, and easy-to-maintain porcelain tile floors. Two secondary bedrooms with spacious closets and a shared full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, a private suite offers flexibility for guests, extended stays, or workspace needs. It includes a bedroom, full bath, walk-in closet, living area, and a well-appointed kitchenette. A walk-in attic provides convenient, accessible storage. The two-car garage is finished with low-maintenance epoxy flooring. Connected to the laundry room, a third garage-style flex space--accessible through carriage doors--can accommodate a golf cart, gym equipment, or pet-washing setup with its freestanding utility sink. The fully landscaped yard includes a large fenced area, storage shed, and two outdoor living spaces: a covered back patio ideal for al fresco dining, and a screened porch with epoxy flooring--perfect for relaxing or entertaining. As a Bayside resident, you'll enjoy a deeded, maintenance-free boat slip (#14) with new composite decking, access to a private boat ramp, and a lakeside common area complete with a gazebo, fire pit, picnic tables, putting greens, cornhole, horseshoes, and boat cleaning facilities. Located minutes from Lake Oconee Academy, St. Mary's Hospital, shopping, and I-20, this home offers the ideal blend of lifestyle, location, and low-maintenance lake living.
