6998 Columbus Rd Lizella, GA 31052

Set on 1.75 private acres in Lizella, this classic Bibb County ranch delivers the kind of character you don't find in new construction. Step through the stone-accented front entry and into a soaring great room with vaulted, exposed-beam ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with brick surround - a true showpiece. Rich hardwood floors and warm architectural details flow throughout the main living spaces, and the layout opens naturally from the great room to the formal dining room and kitchen, making everyday living and entertaining feel effortless. The kitchen features cream raised-panel cabinetry, dark solid-surface counters, a center island, tile backsplash, and a bright breakfast area anchored by a second cozy fireplace. A separate bonus family room with tray ceiling and French doors leads out to the expansive back deck - the perfect spot for morning coffee overlooking the wooded backyard. The primary suite is a genuine retreat, offering a spacious bedroom, walk-in closet with built-ins, and a spa-style bath with double vanity, soaking tub, and separate walk-in shower. A second bedroom offers its own private bath, ideal for guests, in-laws, or a home office setup. A third bedroom, additional hall bath, and generous storage round out the interior. Outside, mature hardwoods frame a huge open lawn with room to garden, play, or expand. A detached two-car garage sits across the driveway, and additional covered parking, a breezeway, and two outbuildings add real utility. The long paved drive and quiet country setting deliver the privacy of rural living without giving up convenience - you're minutes from US-80 and I-475, with easy access to downtown Macon, Mercer University, Navicent Health, Robins AFB, and everyday shopping at Shoppes at River Crossing and Bass Road.
