About this home
There are properties that check boxes, and then there are properties that are simply impossible to recreate. 390 Duncan Springs is the latter.
Spanning 6.5 acres with nearly a quarter mile of frontage on the Middle Oconee River, this is a rare opportunity to own what feels like your own private park in Glenwood, one of Athens’ most beloved neighborhoods. The idyllic setting is paired with a thoughtfully updated home that feels warm, inviting, and deeply connected to its surroundings.
The setting is what truly stays with you. Rolling green space stretches out behind the home, framed by mature trees and the quiet rhythm of the river beyond. There’s a real sense of privacy and calm here, yet you’re just over a mile from the restaurants, coffee shops, and everyday conveniences of Five Points. Paths lead down to the river, where afternoons can be spent kayaking, fishing, exploring, or simply enjoying the kind of peaceful natural backdrop that’s nearly impossible to find this close to town.
Inside, the home strikes that hard-to-find balance between comfortable and elevated. A major renovation completed in 2016 transformed the home into a more open and functional layout while preserving its warmth and character. Vaulted ceilings with reclaimed heart pine beams and skylights anchor the main living area, creating a naturally bright space that feels expansive yet welcoming. French doors open onto an oversized deck, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living and making the landscape feel like an extension of the home itself.
The kitchen sits at the center of it all, designed for both gathering and everyday living. Inset solid birch cabinetry, Calacatta marble countertops and backsplash, reclaimed heart pine shelving, a large island, drink fridge, and wet bar come together in a way that feels elevated without being overdone.
On the opposite side of the kitchen, a second family room lined with custom ash built-ins offers another cozy gathering space, along with access to the deck and beautiful views of the property. A guest suite addition completed in 2023, paired with a full bath and exterior access, creates a flexible setup that works beautifully for visitors, multigenerational living, or anyone looking for a main-level suite.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers the kind of scale and functionality that’s increasingly difficult to find, complete with a spacious ensuite bath featuring a soaking tub, water closet, makeup vanity, oversized walk-in closet with dressing area, built-in entertainment center, and even a dedicated washer and dryer within the suite itself. Three additional bedrooms and another full bath complete the upper level.
Beyond the beauty of the property itself, the practical upgrades are extensive: encapsulated crawlspace, dual hybrid HVAC systems plus a ductless system, dual central vacuums, dual water heaters, newer windows, plantation shutters throughout, EV charging outlet, irrigation system, built-in surround sound, gas fireplace, and an office outfitted by a former University Provost. Multiple outbuildings, including a chicken coop, storage shed, and additional flex structures, further add to the property’s unique character and functionality.
Glenwood has long been considered one of Athens’ hidden gems. Tucked into the Five Points area and zoned for award-winning Barrow Elementary School, it offers a rare mix of privacy, natural beauty, and timeless charm. Properties like 390 Duncan Springs seldom come together this well, and even more rarely do they become available....
