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.

100 Williamsburg Lane - A Complete Restoration, Done Right! 3 Bedrooms | 3 Full Bathrooms | 1.2 Acres | Barn Included. At the current asking price, Seller is offering to pay up to $10,000 toward a qualified buyer's closing costs or a rate buydown. The savvy buyer already knows: the real value in this market sits just outside the Oconee County line, in Athens-Clarke County, where the drive times and the tax bill both work in your favor - without giving up an inch of the countryside feel. 100 Williamsburg Lane delivers exactly that. Wide-open farmland views, genuine quiet, and total privacy on a full 1.2 acres - yet you're only about a 12-15 minute drive to UGA's main campus, and just as close to Watkinsville's shops and restaurants, without paying Watkinsville prices. This isn't a cosmetic flip. Every inch of this 2,000+ square foot home has been rebuilt by craftsmen who clearly took pride in the details: real hardwood floors throughout, handcrafted tilework in all three full bathrooms, custom cabinetry, and quartz counters in a kitchen built to be used, not just photographed. Two fireplaces - one inside, one on the porch - bookend a home that was restored to be lived in for decades, not flipped for a quick sale. Indoor-outdoor living was clearly part of the plan here. Off the living room, a bright sun room does double duty as the laundry room, and leads out to a large screened-in porch that keeps you free from bugs and mosquitos while you take in the farmland views. A door off the porch opens to the new back deck, giving you three distinct ways to enjoy the outdoors without ever leaving home. Downstairs, there's over 1,500 square feet of air-conditioned basement space - new windows let in plenty of natural light, making it a legitimate option for storage, a workshop, or whatever extra space you've been wishing for. Over $20,000 was invested in a waterproofing system, so it stays dry and usable year-round. The systems back it up: new roof, all-new plumbing, an updated electrical panel with 95% of the home rewired, new HVAC, new windows, doors, and lighting throughout. Nothing was skipped, and nothing was patched over. Out back, a full barn is included - workshop, studio, storage, whatever the next owner needs it to be. Properties with this combination - real acreage, a genuine top-to-bottom restoration, and an unbeatable Athens-Clarke County location minutes from UGA and Watkinsville - don't come around often. Come see the difference real craftsmanship makes.
