Craftsman,Traditional, Residential - Athens, GA

9.73 acres of private woodland on the Middle Oconee river surrounds a home constructed with such singular quality and craftsmanship that it is a shining jewel even amidst other gorgeous homes in prestigious Tallassee Oaks. The interior of 205 Red Oak Trail is distinguished by custom wall finishes and heavy millwork detail combined with reclaimed heart pine floors, travertine tile, and a completely custom chef's kitchen and vaulted breakfast room that is truly magazine-worthy. Touches of Tuscany with a Craftsman influence have created an earthy, comfortable opulence that must be “experienced” rather than “seen.” You'll love the intimate, fireside ambience of the keeping room with its balcony access and the adjoining great room graced by a row of French doors spanning the outside wall. A lovely office with built-in bookcases and private porch are also found on the main level, along with a half bath with copper fixtures and an oversized formal dining room with seating for a large group. Upstairs, the oversized master suite includes yet another fireplace and a spa-sized bathroom. Three other bedrooms are also ample in size and include ensuite bathrooms. A full, finished walk-out basement completes the living space of this 7,700+ sq foot residence, and includes another two bedrooms, a full bath, kitchenette area, media room and living room with fireplace, as well as a storage space with garage door. With an abundance of areas arranged for entertaining, you'll find planning events and outdoor activities to be pure pleasure. A covered breezeway with intricate brickwork connects the main residence with the 3-car garage and in-law suite with bathroom and plenty of room above and leads to a deck overlooking an expanse of wooded acreage. Just off the deck, an area perfect for al-fresco dining alongside an oversized fireplace is lit by electric lanterns that wind around the back of the residence, lighting a stone path to the walkout basement. Come and tour this private estate. You'll want to make it your own.
