About this home

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac at the top of Ashebrooke, this exceptional home offers some of the best sunset views in Cumming. Each evening, enjoy BREATHTAKING SUNSETS overlooking a picturesque backdrop of trees and distant mountains—visible from multiple vantage points throughout the home. Take in the scenery from the dramatic two-story wall of windows in the great room, unwind by the fireplace on the beautiful screened-in back porch, or enjoy peaceful views right from the upstairs bedrooms. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed by a charming front porch with a swing and striking wooded double doors leading into a warm and inviting foyer. The main level features an open-concept layout perfect for everyday living and entertaining, including a guest bedroom and full bath, a formal dining room, and a bright eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances. A light-filled office with French doors provides an ideal work-from-home space, while the spacious two-story great room showcases built-ins and a stunning stacked stone fireplace. Just off the main living area, the custom screened-in porch extends your living space year-round, complete with its own fireplace and TV setup—perfect for relaxing or entertaining while enjoying the incredible sunset views. Upstairs, the owner’s suite offers a private retreat with custom closet shelving, dual vanities, a large soaking tub, and a separate shower. Additional bedrooms feature generous closet space, well-designed bathroom access, including Jack-and-Jill and ensuite options. The fully finished basement provides incredible flexibility with a private room ideal for a bedroom, office, or hobby space, a full bathroom, and a large open entertainment area. A convenient kitchenette (fridge/cabinets/counter space) makes hosting easy or provides added independence for guests or extended family. Step outside to a second covered back porch where a wooden hanging bed swing creates a peaceful and private escape surrounded by mature trees and refreshing breezes. One of the home’s most unique features is PRIVATE ACCESS TO THE BIG CREEK GREENWAY. A charming wooden staircase winds through the backyard, leading to this 11+ mile scenic pathway perfect for walking, running, and biking right from your property. Conveniently located just off Exit 13, this home is minutes from Cumming City Center, offering outdoor concerts, boutique shopping, and dining, as well as The Collection at Forsyth, featuring restaurants, shops, entertainment, an AMC theater and a new Cheesecake Factory coming soon.
