She loves this home. After a lifetime of beautiful homes, owner Pamela Crawford calls this her favorite floor plan ever. The slightly ridiculous part? The next owner gets it for $40,000 less than she paid—after she spent more than $42,000 making it wonderful. Pamela, a container gardening author featured multiple times in Southern Living, didn't buy a new house and leave it empty. She finished it. The Chestnut floor plan backs to peaceful forest and a gentle creek. Cathedral ceilings give the great room breathing room, while telescoping glass doors practically make the back wall disappear, joining the house and deck into one big living space. And this floor plan has options. Lots of them. The main-level flex room can be an oversized dining room, office, or fourth bedroom. Upstairs, another flex room makes a terrific office or media room. Lots of friends coming over? Work from home? Movie night? This house is ready when you are. Pamela also handled the things you discover a brand-new house still needs: custom built-ins, whole-house Generac, window treatments, upgraded lighting, blue kitchen backsplash, commercial-grade dehumidification—and more than double the original deck. There, Pamela created one of her signature container gardens overlooking the woods and creek. Butterflies and hummingbirds didn't get the memo that this is real estate—they just think it's theirs. The primary suite is on the main level, with guest rooms upstairs and an unfinished terrace level ready for future living space—or enough storage to stop pretending you're getting rid of everything. And one last important detail: if you're mostly buying a house for your dogs, we understand. There's plenty of room to fence a yard they'll be convinced you bought entirely for them. Love Your Life in Lake Arrowhead—540-acre lake, golf, tennis, swimming, mountains, and easy access to Canton and Atlanta. The humans are going to love it here, too.
