5188 Watchmans Cove is a 2022-built, turn-key residence in Stephens Point, a gated 55+ active adult community just steps from Lake Lanier.

The property falls inside the West Hall High School district and is served by West Hall Middle School and Everwood Elementary School, combining modern construction with a lifestyle-focused setting ideal for easy lake living and entertaining.
Curb appeal begins with a covered rocking-chair front porch that invites relaxed mornings. The private fenced backyard is designed for outdoor enjoyment with a covered rear deck, an open paver patio and a luxury spa framed by mature trees for a secluded, wooded outlook. Owners also benefit from community amenities including a lakeside clubhouse, a large community pool, lighted pickleball and tennis courts and a private 14-slip courtesy dock on deep water at Lake Lanier.
Inside, durable luxury plank flooring runs through principal spaces and an open foyer leads to flexible living and dining areas that can be tailored for formal meals or everyday use. The gourmet kitchen features pristine white cabinetry, a subway tile backsplash, upgraded stainless appliances including a convection oven and gas cooktop, expansive granite counters and a striking island that exceeds nine feet—perfect for meal prep and casual gatherings.

The primary owners' suite is a generous retreat with an adjacent sitting area and a private outdoor balcony.

Main-level living is thoughtful and accessible, supporting single-level comfort while offering additional lifestyle options below.
The finished terrace level functions as a fully usable lower level rather than a typical basement.
