* Price Adjustment* *Charming Hilltop Retreat Overlooking the Cartecay River! *
Welcome home to this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom true ranch perched on a quaint hilltop lot with seasonal views of the Cartecay River. Designed for those who love to live large, this home delivers an abundance of indoor and outdoor living space at every turn. The spacious great room is anchored by a true masonry fireplace and features new flooring throughout the main level, flowing seamlessly to the large deck and two porches for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. Fresh paint throughout gives the home a crisp, move-in-ready feel.
The large eat-in kitchen has been beautifully updated with granite countertops and a stainless steel farmhouse sink, with direct access to the deck for easy al fresco dining. Bathrooms have been tastefully refreshed as well, and generous storage throughout the home keeps everything organized and out of sight.
The oversized primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a private ensuite bath and direct access to a private porch — perfect for morning coffee while soaking in those serene river views. Upstairs, a versatile loft and bonus room overlook the great room below, offering flexible space for a home office, creative studio, or lounge area — and with a little imagination, easily convertible into a 4th bedroom.
Additional updates include all-new windows (2026) and a septic system repaired and cleaned just two years ago, meaning you can move right in and enjoy, worry-free. Built to last with cedar shake shingles and a metal roof, and located just minutes from downtown Ellijay's shopping, dining, and festivals — plus popular apple orchards and wineries nearby — this hillside gem offers the perfect blend of comfort, character, seclusion, and convenience. Don't miss your chance to make it yours!
