Lake Wedowee living, beautifully refreshed. 3142 Crescent Crest Drive is a 4,078 sq ft Craftsman home set on 0.82 and 194' of waterfront acres along Lake Wedowee (R.L. Harris Reservoir), with a floating dock, sun deck, and boat lift on year-round water. A full 2023 renovation — including kitchen, primary bath, and shared baths — paired with a 2017 50-year shingle roof, two-zone Carrier HVAC, and a Hardiplank/stacked-rock exterior, makes this a turn-key offering for a primary residence, weekend retreat, or short-term rental. Five bedrooms, three full and one half bath, a main-level primary suite, and a finished terrace level give the home flexibility for family, guests, and entertaining — all just five miles from Wedowee town center and within easy reach of Birmingham (~95 mi) and Atlanta (~100 mi).
Lake Wedowee living without the to-do list. 3142 Crescent Crest Drive offers 4,078 finished square feet above grade plus a finished terrace level on 0.82 waterfront acres, all behind a Hardiplank-and-stacked-rock Craftsman exterior under a 50-year shingle roof (2017). A complete 2023 renovation refreshed the kitchen, primary bath, and shared baths, while custom cabinetry, honed quartz counters, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and 10+ ft ceilings carry the finish level through the home.
Built for everyday lake living: a main-level primary suite, a chef's kitchen anchored by a walk-in pantry and induction range, two covered back decks (off the living room and the primary), an outdoor fireplace, and a hardscape patio that steps down to a floating dock with sun deck and boat lift on year-round water — five minutes from Wedowee town center and a comfortable drive from Birmingham and Atlanta.
The waterfront is the reason you buy here. 3142 Crescent Crest sits directly on Lake Wedowee (R.L. Harris Reservoir) with year-round water — no seasonal drawdown headaches — and a floating dock with sun deck, one boat lift, and dock lighting already in place. An updated, poured-concrete-and-stacked-stone seawall protects the shoreline, while the hardscape patio system extends the entertaining footprint from the home all the way to the water.
Note: any dock construction or enhancement requires an Alabama Power dock permit
The lot is a true lakefront parcel — 0.82 acres with no HOA, no restrictions, and a FEMA Zone X designation outside the flood zone. Landscape and hardscape have been updated with a poured-concrete patio system and a stacked-stone retaining wall and sea wall, creating an outdoor living footprint that rivals the interior square footage.
The interior reads like a current-build home thanks to the 2023 renovation. Hardwood and tile flow across the main level, carpet (2021) warms the upper level, and tile/travertine grounds the terrace level. Ceilings are 10+ ft with smooth and tongue-and-groove finishes, and crown molding is featured on the main level.
The primary suite is on the main level for single-floor living, fully renovated in 2023 with custom cabinetry, a custom double vanity, custom linen storage, and a walk-in tiled shower with a built-in niche. A walk-in closet completes the suite.
The full daylight basement extends the home's footprint with a terrace-level shared game room, an additional bedroom configured as a safe room/office, and walk-out access to the covered patio and dock area. The safe room functions as a storm shelter or boating storage closet — flexible to however you use the lake.
Outdoor space at 3142 Crescent Crest is engineered for entertaining on the water. Two covered back decks — one off the primary suite and one off the living room — overlook the lake, and a covered patio with an outdoor fireplace anchors the lower-level entertaining area. Bunk beds on the terrace level match the home.
This home is set up for low-friction lake ownership. Two Carrier 15 SEER HVAC systems split the load between zones, a Rheem water heater serves the home, and average monthly utilities run roughly $320 electric and as low as $50 water.
Lake Wedowee, formally the R.L. Harris Reservoir, is a 10,660-acre Alabama Power impoundment of the Tallapoosa River with roughly 270 miles of shoreline winding through Randolph and Cleburne counties. Known for its clear water, deep coves, and a relaxed boating culture, it's a draw for bass and crappie anglers, water-skiers, and weekenders escaping Birmingham and Atlanta.
