Skip the renovation drama and the long commute. This one is ready to move right in, with a main level designed for actual life, a convenient half bath and a dedicated office for working from home without sacrificing room for dining...a laundry room and a pantry round off the main level. Then there's the living room, and this is where the house shows off. A wall of oversized windows brings in an incredible amount of natural light while framing lush woods directly behind the home. Translation: serious treehouse vibes, zero rear neighbors, and absolutely no need for curtains unless the squirrels start getting judgmental. Step onto the back deck and enjoy coffee, cocktails or dinner with a view that's basically nature's version of a privacy fence. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite feels like a retreat, complete with a massive walk in closet that could easily moonlight as your private dressing area, yoga spot, reading nook, music room, craft space...closed off from the rest of the house. Downstairs, flexible living space offers endless options. Think home gym, movie lounge, creative studio, game room or the designated hangout zone everyone mysteriously migrates to. All this on a quiet cul de sac with quick access to the Loop, making Downtown Athens, UGA, Alps Shopping Center and Kroger an easy drive. Bishop Park is just minutes away for trails, fresh air and weekend dog walks. Move in ready. Cul de sac quiet. Woods out back. Space to grow in a welcoming neighborhood with access to a community saltwater pool and super low fees.
