Pocket doors connect the kitchen to a separate formal dining room, while just off the great room, a heated and cooled sunroom gives the house another wonderful everyday living space and opens directly onto the large rear deck. The primary suite is located on the main level and includes two walk in closets, a linen closet, and a private bath with walk in shower. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath are also on the main floor. Upstairs, a large bonus room with its own full bath can easily serve as a fourth bedroom, guest suite, home office, or a combination of all three. Outside, the large deck overlooks a fenced backyard with plenty of room for gathering, gardening, pets, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon at home. All of this in a convenient Athens location with easy access to Epps Bridge, Five Points, UGA, shopping, dining, and everything that makes this side of town so easy to live in. One thing I intentionally left out is the square footage. Realtor shows 2,700 square feet, while another public record source shows 2,574, so I would want to confirm what you are using in MLS before putting it into the narrative.
