5 Renovated Georgia Retreats, from Johns Creek to Mountain Acres

From its Johns Creek address in Alpharetta, this renovated two-story residence balances polished interiors with easy outdoor living. Crown molding runs throughout the main level, where a remodeled powder room, formal dining room, and a living room with a gas fireplace create a comfortable rhythm for everyday life. A bonus room—currently used as an office—adds flexibility without disrupting the flow. The remodeled kitchen centers on new granite countertops, new cabinetry, a gas stove, and two pantries for generous storage. Step outside to a brick patio and an expansive 16′ x 24′ wood deck, framed by a private wooded backyard that feels quietly removed. Upstairs, the large primary suite includes a renovated bath with a new walk-in shower, separate tub, and walk-in closet, plus Jack-and-Jill bedrooms. A spacious two-car garage, two attic storage areas, and replaced siding, exterior lighting, rear windows, and gutter guards complete the package.

From its elevated mountain setting in Ellijay, 63 Misty Oaks Ct offers a cabin lifestyle shaped by privacy, tall hardwoods, and pines on a 1.7-acre corner lot within a gated community with paved roads and no short-term rentals permitted. The main level is designed for easy everyday living, anchored by a stacked-stone gas-log fireplace, a well-equipped kitchen, and space for a family-sized dining table. A main-level primary suite and laundry keep routines simple. Storage is thoughtfully handled with large closets, dormer storage upstairs, attic space above the carport, and a large basement mechanical room with extra laundry hookups. Downstairs, a finished basement flexes as a game room, media room, guest retreat, or home office. Two levels of covered decks plus an open-air deck invite long afternoons outdoors under natural light.

Outdoor living takes center stage on the wraparound double deck stretching the full length of the home, framed by sweeping mountain views.

A covered front porch adds a welcoming note on arrival, and ample storage throughout keeps life organized. For projects and practical needs, a 24×24 shop with a 20×24 lean-to offers space for equipment, hobbies, and additional parking. As the light fades, the fire pit invites a slower pace.
