455 Fortson Dr, Athens, GA 30606

Surrounded by trees, this gorgeous home is peaceful and private while being only five minutes to shops, restaurants, and UGA. From the moment you pull into the circular drive, you'll notice the impeccable attention to detail. The portico leads to the foyer flanked by living room and dining room with gleaming hardwood floors as well as 10 foot ceilings with stunning moldings and trim. Next is a central landing with stairs to the upper level and the terrace level as well as a powder room. From there, head to the open concept family room with a fireplace, built-ins and a recently renovated chef's kitchen with Thor professional dual fuel range, pot filler, huge island, and a built-in breakfast nook. The family room and kitchen are perfectly situated for indoor/outdoor living with a lovely screened-in porch off the family room and a covered back deck with stunning views of the backyard. From the kitchen, there is a mudroom, walk-in pantry, and a butler's pantry adjoining the dining room. Upstairs is the primary suite with access to a private porch, incredible walk-in closet with closet system and en suite with soaker tub, tile shower, and dual vanities. The closet cleverly leads to the laundry room which wraps around to the landing and two secondary bedrooms sharing a Jack and Jill bath. The terrace level opens into another large family room with lots of windows and space for a sitting area and work out zone with a galley kitchen and bar area. There are two rooms that could be used as bedrooms with large closets and a full bathroom. The mechanicals room has plenty of space for a workbench and storage. Walk through the french doors onto yet another beautiful outdoor living space. A newly installed stairway leads to the flat backyard, bordered by a creek and big enough to play a game of football or soccer. Rarely does such a well designed home with great flow and a large private yard hit the market in 5 points. Come see this one before it's gone!
