4-Porch Paradise

Porches are unmistakable icons of southern culture, and no lakeside cottage is complete without one.  This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home located in the exclusive gated community of Reynolds Lake Oconee takes porch life seriously and boasts not one but four! Rocking chairs, outdoor chaise loungers, and even a slatted roll swing perfectly accentuate these covered spaces and remind guests that slow sips, gentle breezes, and breathtaking sunsets never go out of style.

Throughout its two levels of cozy interiors, 4-Porch Paradise invites guests to unwind while being surrounded by championship greens and 376 miles of shoreline at Georgia’s second largest lake. Linger Longer Marina and the day docks are a short stroll away, and 21 miles of walking trails through shaded forest wait right outside Village Loop. Two kayaks and a canoe are at the ready for anyone who wants to take advantage of Lake Oconee’s 19,000 acres of freshwater.

The surrounding natural beauty finds its way inside via abundant natural sunlight flowing through the open floor plan of the main level. Move seamlessly from the kitchen, with its granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and ample cabinet storage, to the dining area that seats 6. Two barstools at the extended counter are perfect for grandkids or latecomers to breakfast.
The living area features two plush sofas, an oversized armchair and wall-mounted flatscreen TV.  Sliding glass doors connect to the back porch that overlooks a tree-shaded park accented by paved walkways, gazebo, and a picnic table. A glass-top outdoor table offers al fresco dining for six, and a propane grill can easily handle whatever the grillmaster throws at it. A cushioned slatted porch swing keeps users cool during Georgia summers and provides just the right touch of hospitality. Completing the main level are a powder room, coat closet, and laundry area with full-size washer and dryer.

The second level provides a quiet retreat among three bedrooms. The master suite boasts a plush queen bed, walk-in closet, flatscreen TV, and private access to the back deck. The ensuite bath features generous linen storage, corner whirlpool tub, dual-sink vanity, and a walk-in tiled shower with rain shower head. Across the staircase landing are two guest bedrooms, one with a queen bed, closet storage, and private access to the back deck. The second guest room pays homage to the Fab Four (The Beatles) and is outfitted with a queen and a twin, perfect for younger guests who want a space to call their own. It also offers the only access to the front balcony. From the two west-facing rattan rocking chairs, enjoy the brilliance of a sunset over Lake Oconee. Both rooms share a full bath with a double-sink vanity and a tiled tub/shower.

Whether guests are pining for a getaway filled with golf, fishing, boating, or relaxing rocking chair sunrises, 4-Porch Paradise is convenient to all of it and situated just minutes from local shopping and dining. Right outside the gates of Reynolds Lake Oconee are Publix, PJ’s Coffee of New Orleans, and several neighboring boutiques.  A few minutes south on 44, explore Harmony Crossing, home to some of our favorite cafes, restaurants, and retail shops. We also recommend visiting the historic districts of downtown Eatonton and downtown Greensboro. Be sure to check out the local events, festivals, and farmer’s markets, too!
