About This Home

As of June 2021

New roof! Great location:: Just 3.5 miles to Sanford Stadium and a stone’s throw to the UGA Golf Course – all of Athens is at your fingertips in River Oaks. Tucked away in the trees on nearly an acre, you feel like you’ve stepped into the mountains with a fantastic view of the N. Oconee River and private river access right from your back yard. Be sure to check out the woodside entertaining deck with outdoor fireplace – I can smell the s’mores now! This charming Williamsburg style home has 4,000 square feet of formal and informal entertaining spaces. There are four bedrooms upstairs, including the owner’s suite with a private balcony for early morning coffee or evening relaxation as you watch the river roll by. The owner’s bath was recently renovated to include a granite vanity top, and tiled shower with frameless glass door. Three more good-sized bedrooms with a spacious and well-planned family bath round out the top floor. Kitchen has granite tops, solid wood cabinets, and newer stainless steel gas stove. Laundry room, and half bath for guests are tucked away just off the kitchen. The basement includes a storage room, finished hobby/tv room, and a full apartment with 2 bedrooms and a full bath, living/dining/kitchen and its own laundry. Recently renovated, this space has fantastic income history or is a great living situation for extended family. There is also a sub-basement with plenty of room to store river toys and/or garden equipment. Home Warranty good to August 2025.
