You don’t have to own a lake house to live the lake life. This is the kind of location that makes spontaneous Saturdays on Lanier spectacularly easy. Port Royale Marina and Pelican Pete’s are about five minutes away, with multiple boat ramps and parks nearby—so whether you’re launching the boat, meeting friends by the water or squeezing in one more summer evening on the lake, it all feels close. And life off the water is pretty convenient too. East Forsyth High School is right down the road, along with Lanierland Park and Bennett Park for sports, recreation and plenty of ways to stay active. Plus, this part of Forsyth is getting even more fun, with the much-anticipated Mae’s Cafe coming soon in a renovated historic building nearby. The neighborhood is ready. And yes, the location is doing a lot of heavy lifting here—but the house can hold its own. Nearly 2,930 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a 3-car garage, a fenced backyard, fresh paint and new carpet. Translation: space where you want it, updates you don’t have to tackle immediately, and enough garage room that somebody might actually get to park a car in it. Flexible living spaces make it easy to create the setup that works best for you, while the fenced backyard adds even more room to spread out and enjoy being home. Lake days. Ballpark nights. Weekends that are way too easy to fill. Blue Willow puts you right in the middle of the kind of Forsyth County lifestyle people are looking for.
