Residential, Traditional - Athens, GA

Simple elegance is the best way to describe this all one level, all brick home in Five Points in the prestigious Princeton Mill Subdivision just off South Lumpkin . Nestled on a corner lot, surrounded by mature plantings, you will feel as though you are hours north at a secluded mountain retreat, high above the chaos of a bustling city-though in reality it is just down the street! The property is adjacent to the old Princeton Mill and you can still see the historic ruins from the wrap around brick patio. This expansive brick “entertainer's dream” of a patio sits high above the ground in the rear of the home and surrounds the length of the breakfast area of the kitchen, the living room, and the master bedroom suite with access points from each of these rooms through French doors. It is enclosed with Chippendale railing and has an exit onto the right of the house for easy access to backyard nature hiking. Upon entering through the front hall of this immaculate home the discerning buyer will immediately realize the rare opportunity before them! Natural light permeates throughout the open floor-plan. When night falls, the home is beautifully illuminated with enchanting vintage chandeliers in nearly every room of the house. Exquisite details such as the genuine brass hardware on the doors, windows, and bathroom fixtures have a stunning sparkle. Even the hardwood floors exude a sort of understated elegance and evoke feelings of warmth and tradition. The custom molding and architectural details, like the Corinthian columns that welcome you from the formal dining room into the living room, are exquisite. This home has such a natural flow to it as well. To the right of the foyer is a study with charming pocket doors and closets beside each. To the left of the foyer is a generously sized formal dining room that opens widely into the vast living area. The dining room also has a swinging door for easy access to the kitchen, laundry room, and large 2 car garage. The kitchen has endless possibilities for storage with hard surface countertops and custom cabinetry throughout. The kitchen also contains an eat in breakfast area with French doors leading to the patio and a wide opening into the living room. On the right wing of the home is the guest bedroom and the master suite. The large master bedroom has an equally massive master bath with tall ceilings, a jetted tub and a stately stand-alone shower. Additionally, it has separate “his and her” sink vanities. This home could be used as a 2 bedroom / 2 bath home or the front study could be used as a 3rd bedroom depending on the buyer's needs. The bedrooms are adjoined via a wide hallway that leads to the open living room. This huge open living room is the activity center of the home with plenty of space and enormous vaulted ceilings. And for really large gatherings, simply open the French doors and the party can easily spill over onto the substantial patio. For chilly nights, the gas fireplace is the perfect touch for a cozy evening at home! Whether you have a small family or are empty nesters that love to entertain, this is the perfect “in town” home for luxurious living in the Classic City and conveniently located near all the things that make Five Points such a desirable location: Athens award winning restaurants, shopping, and nightlife-Marker Seven Coastal Grill, Five and Ten, Earth Fare, two independent drug stores, Jittery Joe's Coffee, Donna Chang's, The Royal Peasant British Pub, Fully Loaded Pizza, The Pine Bar, and so much more!
