Offering a desirable combination of standout updates, flexible living space, and a generous lot, this Tumbling Creek home enjoys a hilltop setting in Madison County and is ready to impress. A welcoming front porch sets the tone for this inviting home, where the two-story foyer makes an impressive first impression, leading to a spacious formal dining room accented by a custom chandelier and ample room to seat eight or more guests. Oversized windows allow abundant natural light to fill the expansive interior, where the vaulted-ceiling great room creates the perfect gathering space centered around a regularly maintained wood-burning fireplace. The adjoining gourmet kitchen overlooks both the living and dining areas, making it easy to stay connected while entertaining. This culinary space features custom-stained cabinetry, sparkling granite countertops extending to a raised breakfast bar, a pantry with shelving, and updated appliances. A sunlit breakfast room with a bay window provides a comfortable spot for everyday meals, while the rear foyer offers access to the laundry room, large storage closet, garage, and the upstairs bedroom suite. Privately situated off the great room, the primary suite offers the ideal retreat, featuring a lofty tray ceiling, durable LVP floors, and an en-suite bath. No detail was missed in the primary lavatory, which offers a dual-sink granite vanity, garden tub, separate shower, private water closet, and spacious closet with shelving. Two additional main-level bedrooms and a full bath are located at the front of the home, creating a split-bedroom layout. One of the bedrooms stands out with a custom board-and-batten accent wall and sconce lighting. A fourth versatile option is provided by the private upper-level bedroom suite. This upgrade provides opportunities for use as a home office, guest suite, or playroom. Additional notable improvements and upgrades found throughout include fresh interior paint, updated luxury vinyl plank flooring that removes carpet throughout the main level, a custom trim package, a new blinds package, and updated light fixtures and ceiling fans sprinkled throughout. Outside, landscaping enhancements featuring Drift Roses, Hydrangeas, and Hostas add upgraded appeal to the setting, while the oversized backyard features a black-coated chain-link fence and private patio. Mature woods along the rear and side of the property provide a natural backdrop and added privacy, complemented by a new LED yard light and lamp post that add a touch of charm. The Tumbling Creek neighborhood provides convenience, with Trail Creek Shopping Village located within five miles. With its thoughtful updates, adaptable floor plan, and convenient access to Athens and UGA, this home offers an inviting opportunity to enjoy comfortable living.
