This exquisite brick home is the perfect blend of comfort, space, and modern livability and located in the center of one of East Athens most desirable neighborhoods, Carrington Plantation. Thoughtfully designed with a true split floor plan, 9+ foot ceilings throughout, hardwood and newly carpeted and tiled flooring, this home delivers the openness and functionality that’s so appealing to today’s buyers.
Step inside from the covered front porch to a bright, inviting interior where the main living spaces flow effortlessly together—ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen connects seamlessly to the family room, creating a warm central hub. The expansive primary suite (with an enclosed water closet, double vanity, stand-alone shower, walk in closet and jacuzzi tub) sits privately on one side of the home, while the second and third bedrooms are tucked away on the opposite wing, offering comfort and separation for family or guests. Just above these bedrooms is a spacious bonus room that has always been used as a fourth bedroom but could serve as a home office, playroom, or media space. And the surprises don’t stop there. The home also features an enormous partially finished daylight basement, offering a full bath and huge finished room for homeschooling, hobby area, gym, or potentially multi-generational living. And with the additional 900+ sq ft of unfinished space, your storage or expansion room is simply amazing!
