Overview

Description

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! This stately all-brick home is situated in one of Athens' most desirable neighborhoods, The Highlands. It boasts a premier location high on the ridge, featuring spectacular views within a quiet, friendly, and welcoming community. The property spans a large 1.2-acre, gently sloping lot that is partially wooded. The versatile floor plan enhances the home's appeal. As you enter through the front door, you are greeted by a solid oak staircase, hardwood floors, and a high ceiling. A convenient half bath is located on the main level, perfect for family and guests. The eat-in kitchen features custom cherry cabinets, granite countertops, and solid oak flooring. A separate formal dining room and an additional generously-sized room that could serve as an office, playroom, TV room, or music room add to the home's versatility. The living room, open to the kitchen, includes a recently installed wood-burning fireplace insert, perfect for enjoying cozy winter days while reducing utility bills. A sunroom provides scenic views of the patio, backyard, and woods. On the second level, you'll find a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet, two additional bedrooms, and a bonus room (which could be used as another bedroom) located over the two-car garage, along with one full bath and one half bath. There are three separate closet areas on this level for added storage. The expansive third level can serve as another bedroom or bonus room, offering breathtaking mountain views through a round window from high on the ridge. There is also a full bath on this level, and a pull-down ladder provides access to the insulated fourth-level attic, which offers ample storage space. Both HVAC systems have been replaced and are less than five years old. Additionally, several large trees have been removed and stumps ground, allowing for potential backyard expansion. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to own a beautiful home in a sought-after neighborhood!
