The main-level primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, with windows overlooking the shoals and an enormous custom closet. The soaking tub has beautiful views of the shoals and tree canopy. A walk-in laundry room with pocket door and convenient half bath complete the well-appointed main floor.
Upstairs, three light-filled bedrooms offer serene nature views, with the third bedroom so expansive it serves beautifully as a second primary suite. The terrace level was designed for both retreat and recreation featuring custom library shelving, two en-suite bedrooms, a massive great room ideal for entertaining or a home theatre, a mini kitchen, and a dedicated garage perfect for a workshop or hobby space.
Outside, the property transforms into an entertainer's paradise and a naturalist's haven with lighted walkways, built-in grills, a custom rock artisan sunflower firepit with additional seating, a treehouse, and direct river frontage that makes you feel miles away from everything, yet you're just minutes to downtown Athens, premier dining, hospitals, boutique shopping, and the rich cultural, musical, and educational tapestry that makes this city so beloved.
One of a kind. Unexpected. Unforgettable.
