Inside or outside, this home has space to live, grow and explore. This solid, brick ranch was built in the late 1970's but has undergone a full range of updates in the last few years. The home has a new roof, Lennox Natural Gas HVAC, water heater, flooring, appliances, carpets, paint, fixtures and so much more. The Main floors' 1,770 sq ft live large and easy; flowing out to a stunning multi-level deck overlooking fully-fenced yard with a back gate to access 80 acres of UGA nature preserve trails leading to the river. A large living room has expansive views of the surrounding land, but remains grounded with the central brick fireplace. The updated kitchen has an expanded breakfast area with built-in bench seating and access to an ideally configured laundry room, pantry room (w/ added counter space, shelving & storage) and dining room. The Owners Suite has new French doors providing private access to the deck, along with an updated bath, dual closets and dressing area. The two additional main floor bedrooms are filled with natural light, generous closets and share an updated hallway bath. The 600 sq ft. fully finished basement adds a new dimension of space to this home with an open family room, added bedroom and half bath. The basement also has exterior access to a private patio which leads into the back yard that includes shed with added outdoor storage, shadow boxes, lawn, pavered walkways, and perfectly selected plantings. This home is located just between UGA's East Campus and Vet school, providing easy access to East Side restaurants, Downtown Athens and the Botanical Gardens.
