Step into refined, low-maintenance living at 5188 Watchmans Cove, a 2022-built residence in the gated Stephens Point 55+ community. Priced at $729,000 and listed as MLS 10756121, this striking property offers 4,264 square feet of thoughtfully planned space with 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and 0 half baths, positioned just steps from the shoreline of Lake Lanier. This home is an exceptional option for buyers searching Gainesville GA real estate in an active adult neighborhood with resort-style amenities.
The kitchen is the focal point for gatherings and meal prep, anchored by a dramatic granite island that exceeds nine feet in length. Crisp white cabinetry, a subway-tile backsplash, upgraded stainless appliances including a convection oven and gas cooktop, and generous counterspace make this a true chef's workspace. An adjacent sunny dining area flows to an open family room featuring a trey ceiling and a gas fireplace, all set on durable luxury plank flooring that creates seamless sightlines for entertaining. These features make the home especially attractive in searches for Lake Lanier homes with high-end kitchens.
The main-level primary suite is designed as a private retreat with space for a sitting area and access to a private outdoor balcony that captures treetop views. The en suite bath offers dual vanities with granite counters, a large walk-in tiled shower, and a spacious walk-in closet that connects directly to the laundry room for added convenience. Thoughtful single-level living elements are paired with upscale finishes that appeal to buyers seeking both comfort and style.
Downstairs, the finished terrace level functions as a true walk-out lower level and extends the living and entertainment possibilities. A second family room opens to a game area and a wet bar appointed with a beverage refrigerator, ice maker and large wine cooler. This level also includes a guest bedroom, a full bath with custom tile work, a dedicated home gym and an expansive home office with its own walk-in closet—ideal for multi-use living or hosting visiting family.
Outdoor living is equally well considered.

The .16-acre lot is intentionally low-maintenance yet offers distinct outdoor rooms for entertaining, quiet evenings and connection to nature.
