2 Hemlock Dr, Athens, OH 45701

Homes like this don't come on the market very often! Located on almost 2 acres in the city limits, yet in a peaceful country setting just minutes to the bike path, hospital, and OU campus. This magnificent and gracious 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home is tastefully decorated, immaculate, and beautifully landscaped. It has a dog approved fenced yard, with additional underground electric fencing. The elegant front porch and beautiful front door welcome you to the lovely foyer. To the left, the formal living room has large windows and a hardwood floor. This room would also be a nice reading room or office for your home business. To the right of the foyer is the holiday sized dining room with hardwood floors and light filled windows. Straight ahead from the foyer is the family room, with its dramatic cathedral ceiling, fireplace, and a whole wall of windows. French doors from the family room open onto the home's large party deck that runs the full length of the rear of the home. Open to the family room is the large, very well equipped kitchen. The owners are both gourmet cooks and there is plenty of room for at least two people to ply their kitchen magic. The large Jenn Aire gas stove is only 4 years old, and the granite counters are almost new. There's room for a breakfast table by the window, and another by the breakfast bar / island. Adjacent to the kitchen is the laundry room and pantry, and the oversized 2 car garage. This amazing home boasts a first floor master suite with French doors to the deck, a big walk in closet, and a large master bathroom with a tiled shower, jetted tub, 2 sink areas and towel and linen storage. The graceful oak stairway leads from the family room to the second floor with 3 bedrooms and a tile bath with a shower and tub combo. The second bedroom is currently an office with a lovely and private view of the woods, and the third bedroom is spacious with lots of light. The fourth bedroom is a large room with another cathedral ceiling, and could easily work as an upstairs family room. The lower level has the fifth bedroom, which is currently being used as an office. This room features an adjacent tile bath with a shower. The huge family room has a wet bar and kitchenette, plus a 2 sided gas fireplace. The lower level could be a great in law suite or a hang out area for teens. Be sure to see all this home has to offer before you decide on your dream home!
