660 Barnett Shoals Rd APT 226, Athens, GA 30605

Welcome to Brookewood Mill, a gated condominium community tucked just off Barnett Shoals Road on Athens' east side — and welcome to Unit 226, a two-story, 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath condo that puts all things UGA within easy reach. Whether you are a graduate student or faculty member looking for a quiet home base near campus, a parent buying for a student, or a Bulldog fan who wants a place of your own for football weekends Between the Hedges, this 1,168-square-foot condo delivers comfort, privacy, and low-maintenance living in one of the most convenient locations in the Classic City. Brookewood Mill is a coded, gated community with a private parking lot and a beautifully landscaped community pool, and it has a well-earned reputation as a calm, tranquil place to live. The unit itself sits above ground level — entry is on the second level of the complex — so there are no ground-floor security worries and no one walking past your windows. A small sitting porch at the front door, furnished here with a wicker settee, is an inviting spot for morning coffee, a few plants, and fresh air before the day begins. Inside, dark hardwood floors and a stained-glass front door set the tone. The main level is an open living space anchored by a cozy wood-burning stove in the corner — made for cool fall evenings after a Saturday in Sanford Stadium, which sits roughly 3 miles from your front door. French doors with blinds bring in natural light and open the room up, ceiling fans keep things comfortable, and there is plenty of wall and floor space for a full sectional, bookshelves, and a dining table, as the photos show. The kitchen is open to the living room with a breakfast bar, cream cabinetry, a tile backsplash, and stainless appliances — including a French-door refrigerator and dishwasher — all less than two years old. A narrow pull-out pantry makes smart use of every inch, the double stainless sink has a new faucet, and recessed lighting keeps the workspace bright. Just off the kitchen, a dedicated laundry closet with full-size washer and dryer means no laundromat runs and no shared laundry room. The main level also includes a charming powder room with a pedestal sink, beadboard wainscoting, and stone-look walls — perfect for guests on game day. Upstairs, both bedrooms are carpeted retreats with ceiling fans, and each has its own en-suite bathroom — a true two-primary layout that works beautifully for roommates, guests, or a home office setup. One bedroom features a walk-in closet with generous shelving; the other offers double closets and a small vanity nook. The full baths include tub/shower combinations and updated fixtures throughout. This condo has been carefully maintained by just two residents, and the updates show it: every toilet in the home has been replaced with a brand-new, low-flush, high-efficiency model, the kitchen faucet is new, and the appliances are under two years old. HOA dues are a reasonable $220 per month and cover the gated entry, pool, landscaping, and exterior upkeep, so weekends are yours. Location seals it. From Barnett Shoals you are minutes to the University of Georgia campus, Five Points, downtown Athens' restaurants and music venues, and the State Botanical Garden, with everyday shopping and dining along the Barnett Shoals and College Station corridors. Available December 15 — The sellers prefer a closing at the end of the year, between semesters, making this an ideal purchase to settle over the winter break and enjoy by spring. Homes in Brookewood Mill with this layout, these updates, and this much flexibility rarely come along — come make this Athens gem your own.
