There's something exciting about getting to watch a home come together from the ground up and this brand new custom build is going to be a good one. Thoughtfully designed with plenty of room to spread out, this 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom home will have a mix of beautiful finishes, comfortable living spaces, and those little details that make a house feel like it was built with someone in mind. Once complete, the main level will feature the primary suite, an additional bedroom, and a full bathroom, along with a welcoming living room centered around a brick fireplace. The kitchen will be one of the highlights, with quartz countertops, a beautiful herringbone backsplash, a plaster hood over the stove, and a large island with a sink. The foyer and breakfast nook will feature floor-to-ceiling vertical nickel gap, while arched doorways will add a little extra character throughout the home. Upstairs will offer two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a bonus room, giving everyone a little room of their own. The finished basement will add even more flexibility with another bedroom, full bathroom, bonus room, and living room. Whether that space becomes a guest area, movie room, playroom, home office, or simply a place to spread out, there will be plenty of possibilities. One of the best parts? The location. Once finished, you'll be just about 3 miles from Downtown Athens and Sanford Stadium, making it easy to enjoy restaurants, shopping, football Saturdays, and everything else Athens has to offer. The elementary, middle, and high schools will all be about a mile or less away, as will Beechwood Shopping Center, Piedmont Athens Regional, and St. Mary's Hospital. With all of these details planned from the beginning, this home is being built to feel thoughtful rather than cookie-cutter. There's still time to watch it take shape, but the finished product is going to offer the space, character, and convenience that make coming home something to look forward to.
