Welcome to effortless living in The Retreat at Sterling on the Lake, Flowery Branch’s premier 55+ active adult community. Built in 2025 by David Weekley Homes, this beautifully upgraded ranch home offers the ease of one-level living with the added flexibility of a full unfinished basement, already stubbed for a future bath. A premium homesite with an HOA-owned adjacent lot provides a rare sense of privacy and a peaceful natural buffer, while the clubhouse is just a short walk away. Inside, 10-foot ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and an open-concept design create an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. The chef’s kitchen features an oversized island, gas range, and premium finishes, with easy access to the covered deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
