Property Description
Welcome home to this warm and inviting 3-bedroom, 3-bath four-sided brick home nestled on nearly an acre off sought-after Timothy Road. Surrounded by mature trees, the property feels like a secluded retreat-yet shopping, dining, and the heart of Athens are just minutes away. With approximately 2,700 square feet of living space, the home features a bright, functional layout filled with natural light and generous storage. Large rear-facing windows frame peaceful wooded views, creating a calm and private atmosphere throughout. The main level includes 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, with the owner's suite on the main floor. Multiple entry points provide easy access and flow to the backyard. Downstairs, the finished basement features a bonus room or bedroom, full bathroom, storage space, and exterior entry-ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or a private workspace. Outside, the expansive lot offers room to entertain, garden, or unwind-space that's increasingly hard to find this close to town. As part of Timothy Estates, residents enjoy access to a private, deeded 8-acre park alongside the Oconee River with open green space and a secluded natural setting exclusive to the community. This home offers the space, flexibility, and setting today's buyers are looking for-all just minutes from everything Athens has to offer.
