8568 Canal Drive

About this home

MOVE-IN READY CANAL FRONT HOME! No need to drive your guests a mile to neighborhood docks when your personal boat slip is in your backyard! Lake Spivey is a large PRIVATE LAKE for residents who enjoy water sports, fishing, or peaceful sunlit cruises. And imagine having your own inground pool, too! Situated less than 30 minutes from downtown Atlanta and the Atlanta Airport, this canal-front property sits on a 1.24-acre cul-de-sac lot. Inside this well-maintained home, you’ll find a comfy floor plan with the kitchen open to abundant living space for family or entertaining, beautiful hardwood floors, and a fireplace with floor-to-ceiling brick. All this and a PRIMARY BEDROOM ON MAIN—a suite with a second fireplace, fresh paint, jetted garden tub, and separate dual vanities. Upstairs, you'll find a dedicated home office with built-ins, three bedrooms, two full baths, and a generous bonus room providing flex space for a fifth bedroom, a billiards room, teen space, or a secondary office. This home also features a wet bar, sunroom, bright breakfast nook, separate dining room, a central vacuum system, and loads of indoor storage. The oversized 24' x 24' garage means no more door dings when unloading groceries! And outdoors, the property has a private 2-boat slip, a floral garden with adjustable pergola, and a 20' x 40' inground pool. Just outside the neighborhood is access to four miles of walking trails, a fitness center, pickleball courts, and playground. And remember, if you’re out in your boat on the big water and it’s time to refill the cooler—or if passengers want a bathroom break—you’re a 3-minute canal cruise to your backyard dock and the poolside door to your house!
