About this home
Nestled beneath a canopy of mature trees on a scenic waterfront lot, this beautifully updated home offers a rare combination of privacy, charm, and modern comfort within the Athens city limits. Located less than half a mile from The Boathouse Bar & Grill and approximately four miles from shopping and dining, it combines the convenience of city services with the serenity of lakefront living. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the property features a recently constructed boat dock with two boat slips, dedicated personal watercraft lifts, and a heavy-duty lift designed to accommodate today's larger wake boats—a highly desirable amenity on Lake Athens. Inside, hardwood floors, an open-concept floor plan, and abundant natural light create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The spacious living room is anchored by a painted stone fireplace with custom built-ins, while expansive windows and glass doors frame peaceful water views and provide seamless indoor-outdoor living. A vaulted ceiling with an exposed wood beam and skylight enhances the main living area, while generously sized bedrooms—including a dedicated bunk room—and a finished lower-level recreation room with a wet bar provide exceptional space for family and guests.
Mature trees, an expansive lawn, and tranquil waterfront views create a peaceful setting, while recent updates include interior and exterior paint (2020), lower-level flooring (2020), HVAC replacement (2022), and bedroom flooring (2026). A lake-fed sprinkler system adds convenience, and the home's location within the Athens city limits provides the rare benefit of city water and sewer, trash collection, police, and fire services....
