Nearly everything is new, HVAC and ductwork, roof, tankless water heater, windows, plumbing, expansive covered porches front and back, a sparkling saltwater pool with pergola, a 24x30 workshop/equipment garage, and even a charming chicken coop. From the moment you arrive, the property welcomes you with a sense of quiet and calm that is increasingly rare. Wide-open views stretch across vibrant flower and vegetable gardens, and the land is rich with wildlife, adding to the peaceful setting. At the heart of the home is a beautifully updated kitchen that opens to the back porch and fireside great room. A massive quartz island anchors the space, while the eight-burner gas range with double ovens makes cooking for a crowd a pleasure. Additional features include a farmhouse sink, floating shelves, a serving buffet/bar/coffee station, and abundant storage. Adjacent to the kitchen is one of the most functional spaces in the home, the large utility room ~ complete with pantry, laundry, extra storage, a commercial dog-wash station, and grow lights for starting your garden early. With its single-story design, the home offers an easy, accessible lifestyle with no stairs. The kitchen flows naturally into the great room and into a flexible space ideal as a dining room, office, playroom, or den. Custom double doors open to a welcoming foyer, while the bedroom wing features four bedrooms and updated baths. The spacious primary suite includes a private porch, large closet, dual vanities, and a double shower. Designed with hospitality in mind, this home effortlessly accommodates large gatherings while maintaining a warm, intimate feel. The addition of wide front and back porches has effectively tripled the living and entertaining areas, allowing parties to stretch from the front steps all the way to the pool. Outside, the saltwater pool offers a refreshing escape with a pergola for shade. The surrounding gardens have been intentionally planned for seasonal color from spring through early fall, an ever-changing landscape of blooms. The expansive vegetable garden perfectly complements the chef’s kitchen for true farm-to-table living. The 24x30 workshop is designed for versatility, serving as a workspace, storage, and garage for vehicles, equipment, or a boat. The acreage is ideally suited for those who wish to keep farm animals, and the shaded chicken coop provides the option for fresh eggs daily. Despite the serene, country-like setting, the home is just ten minutes from downtown Athens, offering the perfect blend of privacy and convenience. Wonderful neighbors add to the sense of community that makes this property so special. More than a home, this is a retreat, a gathering place, and a thoughtfully designed sanctuary—supporting a lifestyle of comfort, creativity, and connection.
