Situated on a desirable corner lot, this beautifully maintained four bedroom, three bath residence offers an impressive blend of timeless character, generous living space, and meaningful updates. Recently refreshed with fresh interior paint and a brand new roof, the home welcomes you with warmth and confidence from the moment you arrive. Inside, expansive living areas provide exceptional flexibility for both refined entertaining and everyday comfort, including an inviting family room anchored by a stunning stone fireplace that creates a cozy focal point, as well as a separate formal living room that offers additional space for gatherings or quiet retreat. An oversized bonus room provides endless possibilities and is ideal for a media lounge, home office, playroom, or additional living space. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with classic white cabinetry, abundant counter space, and a center island with electric cooktop that serves as both a functional workspace and gathering hub, along with a generously sized eat in area that easily accommodates large family meals. A separate formal dining room sets the stage for elegant dinner parties and holiday celebrations, while rich hardwood floors flowing through much of the home add warmth and timeless appeal. Outdoor living is equally impressive, featuring an elevated rear terrace overlooking a charming brick courtyard style patio that creates a private setting for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or weekend entertaining. The corner lot enhances curb appeal and privacy, while practical upgrades such as an irrigation system and central vacuum system add everyday convenience. Two spacious outbuildings, one measuring eight by ten and the other ten by twenty, provide exceptional storage, workshop potential, or hobby space. Ideally located just minutes from Highway 78, Highway 441, and the vibrant shops and dining of Downtown Athens, this home delivers an outstanding combination of space, comfort, functionality, and location.
