240 Beech Creek Road, Athens

Set on a generous .68-acre lot with access to 15 acres of green space and over a mile of riverfront walking trails, this home offers rare privacy in a location that's still walking distance to dining, retail, schools, and healthcare. Enjoy a peaceful setting near the Oconee River without giving up everyday convenience. The home's highly desirable floor plan is open, spacious, and ideal for entertaining. A two-story foyer frames a striking view through the great room's wall of windows. To one side is a home office with French doors and a wood-paneled accent wall-easily used as a fifth bedroom thanks to the full bath on the main level. Opposite is a formal dining room with wainscoting and squared columns. The open great room with coffered ceilings and kitchen form the heart of the home, featuring a stacked-stone, wood burning fireplace with built-ins, a large dining area, and an expansive kitchen with custom cabinetry and quartzite countertops. Double wall ovens and a gas cook top round out this wonderful cooking space. Upstairs, the owner's suite includes trey ceilings, a sitting area, and a newly renovated primary bath with an oversized double vanity, large shower, soaking tub and walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms include one with a private en-suite bath, while the other two share a full bath (one with private access). A bright bonus room or bedroom with a wall of windows offers flexible living space. Outdoor living shines here: a vaulted screened porch, spacious rear deck, and a fully fenced backyard with level play space and a terraced garden area. It's an ideal setting for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the surrounding nature. The unfinished terrace level, filled with natural light and stubbed for a bath, provides excellent potential for future expansion. With its exceptional layout, outdoor amenities, and unbeatable convenience, this property delivers the space and lifestyle today's buyers are seeking.
