Description

This beautiful Oconee county estate was designed and custom built to capture the feel of homes of yesteryear. Even though it was constructed in 2014, there are tons of aged touches like soaring ceilings, pocket doors between rooms, vintage fixtures, and bright wood floors and special touches throughout. Stationed on nine plus peaceful acres, this Bishop property will serve as your own private retreat. The column-lined, wrap around porch provides multiple ceiling fans and plenty of space to swing or rock where you can sit a spell and enjoy the outdoors. Just inside is a hallway leading to the main areas of the home. The custom built staircase is a piece of art unto itself! The front sitting room has a ceiling fan and tons of light flowing in. Additionally there is a family room, parlor or could be used as a formal dining room if desired for more space to convene or entertain. The open kitchen and keeping room offers beautiful wood cabinetry that can be rearranged to design your kitchen as you wish, large farmhouse sink, a wood stove and a dining area complete this space. The walk in pantry is conveniently located at the heart of the kitchen and is oversized. The primary bedroom is located on the main level complete with a walk-in closet, private bathroom with a soaking tub and stand-up shower, and exterior access to the covered porch. The laundry room is very spacious, offers ample cabinetry, and opens up to the half bath also accessible from the grand hallway. Up the grand staircase are four more bedrooms with carpet and ceiling fans, three full bathrooms, and a spacious, open loft space. The walk out attic is huge and offers walk in storage. Out back is a swimming pool to be enjoyed during the hot Georgia summers. The screened porch overlooks the pool and rear yard, and is a great spot to take in the serene surroundings. Also on the parcel is a detached garage with a barn-style look and ample workshop space, and there is true storm cellar that can also be used for additional storage or a safe spot to go with inclement weather. The wooded paths along the creek offer a peaceful place to stroll and take in this exceptional property that offers great privacy but is minutes to Downtown Watkinsville, Athens and the the Oconee county schools. There is additional acreage available.
