Welcome to 5620 Barnett Shoals Road, a beautifully renovated and spacious residence tucked away on 3.42 private, wooded acres. Located on the Eastside of Athens, this home offers quick access to Athens, Watkinsville and Wire Park, combining seclusion with convenience. This expansive home boasts over 5,500 square feet of living space, spread across three levels, including a fully finished terrace level. A gated entrance with brick pillars leads you up a scenic, tree-lined driveway to a two-car garage with ample additional parking and dedicated pads. Step onto the charming stone front patio and enter into a welcoming foyer. Site-finished hardwood floors, recently refinished in 2024, flow through the main living areas. To the left of the foyer is a spacious dining room with a large picture window, while straight ahead, the living room features a vaulted ceiling, stone wood-burning fireplace, and built-in bookcases, all illuminated by natural light from the wall of rear windows. The open-concept kitchen connects seamlessly to the living room and includes custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a breakfast bar, and chef-grade stainless steel appliances, including a commercial-grade range with a striking stainless hood. The adjacent breakfast nook is surrounded by windows, offering beautiful views and abundant light. Just off the breakfast area, youll find a private entrance to the main-level primary suite, which includes new carpet, a tray ceiling, ceiling fan, direct access to the covered deck, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom with two vanities, a large soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, and a generous walk-in closet that leads directly into the laundry room, designed with convenience in mind. Also on the main level is a powder room, hall closets, and access to the garage and the laundry room with built-ins and a sink. Upstairs, youll find three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, arranged around a loft landing. Two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, with one room enjoying a private vanity and walk-in closet. The third bedroom is oversized, featuring two large closets and a private ensuite bathroom. All bedrooms include ceiling fans, and the bathrooms offer generous counter space. The terrace level is perfect for entertaining or multigenerational living, featuring a large game room/family room with a fireplace and built-in shelves, a wet bar with a live-edge wood countertop, a wine cellar with a sink, a large bedroom, a full bath, and a light-filled walk-out to the covered patio. New carpet throughout the basement enhances comfort and style. Outdoor living is equally impressive.
