1181 Old Mill Dr, Watkinsville, GA 30677

Neat as a pin and move in ready in Oconee's Old Mill Chase. The mountain retreat style home has been lovingly maintained and updated during the this seller's ownership. This 4/3.5 home on a finished basement boasts living spaces on every floor, starting with a vault ceiling living room with a fireplace flanked by brawny and abundant built-in shelving. Second floor has a huge bonus room over the garage with views to die for and big enough to be broken into multiple use areas. Basement was designed to be an efficiency apartment for an elderly grandparent and consists of two rooms separated by a pony wall and there is also a full bathroom and walk-out access to a patio and adjacent doors to the roomy dedicated home workshop. The basement is a perfect location for the kids or your Georgia Room. Main floor has living room, dining room, kitchen, and back hall access to two pantries, and large laundry with a sink, and the 2 car garage. Front hall on main leads to the powder room, basement access, and an owner's suite on main with all you could want in a main floor en suite. Upstairs, besides the bonus room, are three more bedrooms and a good sized hall bath. Main floor has two access points to a roomy deck overlooking the back yard below and beyond to Porter Creek where the sellers' kids played all the time but they have now flown the coop! The yard below is a rich yet tamed landscape of formal and informal setting, including a stone pathway to a totally cool round fire pit patio, but this is so much more than any old fire pit. Many great memories made here with wonderful private hours "in the woods". A large portion of the back of the property has been very recently fenced with a noticeably superior quality wood fence. The front of the home begins with a winding asphalt driveway taking you off the road and leads to this unique opening in the beautiful hardwoods, and there's loads of parking and/or play area for kids to ride their bikes on a nice level surface. Sellers have had many formal gatherings here with tables all set up out front, like a wedding, and the inviting covered front porch beckons you to sit a spell.
